Rayquaza, More Gen III Pokémon Coming to GO!

Even more Pokémon native to the Hoenn region are coming to GO!

Starting tomorrow, several Dragon and Flying-Type Pokémon, including the Altaria, Salamence, Pelipper, Swellow and Metagross evolution lines will be catchable in the wild! The Flying/Dragon-type Legendary Rayquaza will also begun its stunt as a Legendary Raid Boss alongside Kyogre until March 16th.

In celebration of Rayquaza’s ascension, Generation III Pokémon will exclusively be taking over spawns worldwide until February 13th, Raid Bosses and Egg hatches will have some new additions, new special boxes – which include Raid Passes, Incubators, and Star Pieces – will be available in the in-game store until February 23rd, AND Lure Modules will run for six hours a pop in the same time frame.

Lots of exciting reasons to get out and GO this month – and this isn’t even counting the imminent Valentine’s Day event! I’m just excited that I’ll finally be able to catch one of my all time favorites, Altaria!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: If you could choose any Flying-type Pokémon to bring you wherever you need to go in real life which would you choose and why?

  1. In future games I want each region to have its own political system and identity. That’s why Alola stands out so much. They tried with Kalos and Unova but they could do so much more. . .

  3. Might give up on my second Blacepholon for now, I don’t like how I can’t check its’ Hidden Power immediately because of the forced Rainbow Rocket thing starting and having to do a Battle Agency Battle for stupid Sophocles.

  5. Do you think there’ll be amiibos for Pokemon Switch? Maybe they could give you a Mythical with perfect comp stats or Stacks of all Balls or something like that

    • Absolutely. I would expect marketing to be out in full force, unlike USUM. This is a big step for the franchise and they’re going to want everyone to know

  6. I just had a thought… if Pokemon switch is a totally core Pokémon game like full fledged gen 8 how would multiple profiles on the switch work?

  7. So I just found out hooters gives out free wings to singles on Valentine’s Day is you bring a picture of your ex. They shred the picture and give you 10 free wings……..I now wish I had at least one picture of my ex lol would be oddly satisfying seeing her picture get shredded and getting free wings for it 🤣
