Raikou, Entei & Suicune Coming to Pokémon GO

The legendary beasts are making their way to Legendary Raids in Pokémon GO!

Starting today the three Legendary Beasts from Johto will begin to travel the world throughout the coming months. From August 31st until September 30th they can be battled and captured in the following areas:

  • Raikou can be found in the Americas
  • Entei can be captured in Europe and Africa
  • Suicune can be battled throughout the Asia-Pacific region

Much like in the main games, the beasts will roam around the regions on a monthly basis. On September 30th they will switch regions, and once again on October 31st – ensuring that every region gets a month with each Legendary Beast.

EX Raid Battles will also be starting up in Pokémon GO with the first batch being distributed from September 6th onwards as part of a field test for eligibility, frequency, times and locations.

Is your favorite Legendary Beast coming to your region first, or will you have to wait a little longer?

  1. Part of me is kinda glad that I’m in Singapore now and won’t be going back to the states for uni until September 15th. So I’ll be able to get 2/3 in the span of the first month. However, that means I’ll have the least amount of time to get Raikou which kinda blows ’cause it’s my favorite. :/

  2. Grrrrrrrrr I hate that Suicune so much, I can’t even think about it without it trying to pressure restalk me until I get burnt or my PP runs out

  3. Raikou is one of my favourite Pokemon, but I don’t have GO or a phone to play it on and as with all posts on GO I can’t really say much more than that. Even though Raikou got a special and something of a movie appearance I’d have liked a movie with it as a main Legend character.

  4. Here’s a question to anyone who plays Fire Emblem Heroes (if anyone here actually plays it, that is), who did you choose for the CYL banner that came out today? I chose Great Lord (or Brave) Roy
    I’m asking again because no one responded, but I guess that’s my bad for not realizing there was a new article.

  5. Wow already? I expected for they to take longer to release. Maybe that’s a hint that gen 3 is coming to GO sooner than we expect ?

  6. I feel like making some sorta…..multi-evolution dragon

    Dracodon
    Egg pkm
    Dragon/Normal
    Simple HA: Unaware
    A very small jade green dragon like Pokemon with a spherical egg like body, underdeveloped legs and feet with a single claw and tiny budding wings that resembles triangles and a tail, it’s face has no features except beady eyes and two fangs on its mouth, but it has long antenna made of small spheres
    “These mysterious Pokemon wait patiently for evolution to take effect, their genetic changes code adapts to its environment”

    Now it evolves into 4 different dragons based on whatever scale you find equip to it

    Pyrodon Dragon/Fire European Dragon
    Hydrodon Dragon/Water Whale Dragon
    Aerodon Dragon/Flying Wyvern
    Geodon Dragon/Rock Wyrm

    Screw it this sucks

  7. I really want to get Raikou, but I’m not sure I’ll have time. Plus the last legendary raid I actually did there was only just a good amount of people to beat it and then I didn’t catch it…..

  8. Ok what the hell…..why are some of my posts getting held for review……? So annoying. It’s not like I’m posting anything crazy out there…..

  9. Soooo… apparently if it’s the first time swearing your comments get a pending review. Once I approve it, you’re free to swear though. Weird.

  10. Yay, the Americas got the best Legendary Beast! (It triggers me when people call them dogs so thank you for not calling them that)

  11. Hey Pokéjungle/moving if you read this, can someone disable the swearing filter? It’s really random at picking things to flag (even mine) and many users on this site are responsible with swear words so I doubt it bothers anyone much.

  12. I think school is good for me and Pokémon idea’s in three days of school I have gave birth to 4 new Pokémon (Oddly Science and Math are the big takes for idea’s)

    the Pokémon are an Early route, Rock type Deer. A skeletal dinosaur structures controlling rocks to form a body Rock/Ghost. A Hydro Electric Battery Water/Electric. Lastly, a Candy Apple whose stem is a fist that it uses to punch with Grass/Fighting

  13. Okay, the Alola anime gang will have a trip to Kanto, I’m almost able to believe we’ll be able to travel to Kanto in USUM

  14. Due to a return to Kanto in the anime, along with the short scene of an area that looked a lot like Lt. Surge’s gym, I am led to the only logical conclusion. They teased us with it in SM, but in USUM we will be witnessing a return of…

    Alola Oak and an Alola version of every other major character from RBY-including Alola Surge!
