Pokémon Go has just added two more Legendary Pokémon to its league of available monsters to battle, and this time it’s welcoming Dragon and Psychic-type Pokémon Latias and Latios.

The pair, originally found in the Hoenn region, will be showing up in Pokémon Go Raid Battles for the first time starting today. Weather permitting, depending on where you live, you can hope for a fun outside day with new Pokémon to face off against if you’re in the right region. 

You can expect to find Latias in Raid Battles in Europe and Asia, where Latios will appear in North America, South America, and Africa. On May 8 the two Pokémon will swap places and will remain where they are until June 5, so you can snatch them up no matter where you are in the world. 

Both Pokémon are referred to as Eon Pokémon, with traits like high intelligence and the ability to communicate via telepathy with humans. Latias can utilize invisibility via light refraction, and Latios is fast enough to outpace jets. That’s kind of crazy. 

If you do encounter the Pokémon to take on in a Raid Battle, make sure you pick up Dragon or Psychic types to counter these two Legendaries, and make it quick. Both of them will be exiting Raid Battles on June 5, so you’ve got a while to conquer them before they fly off somewhere else. It shouldn’t be too much longer after that before you can expect a whole host of more new Legendaries as well.
