In their official blog, Niantic has confirmed that the first ever Legendary Pokémon will be at GO Fest – but only if trainers around the world successfully meet the capture goals set throughout the weekend. If trainers in Chicago manage to defeat it, it will start appearing in Raid Battles across the globe. Niantic also revealed that Legendary Pokémon can be used to battle Gyms, but they cannot be used to defend them.

Are you psyched or what?!
