Cresselia, Groudon, and Kyogre return to Raid Battles in Pokémon GO

As the Legendary Lake Trio move on, three legendaries are making a comeback.

The Extraordinary Raid Week for Pokémon GO is coming to a close as Cresselia, Groudon, and Kyogre are primed to pop back into five-star Raid Battles in the coming weeks.

Each of these Pokémon is making its return as a Raid Boss for a limited time, with a chance for trainers to catch the shiny forms too.

Get ready for a Raid Battle challenge that’s out of this world! We’re excited to announce that Cresselia, the Lunar Pokémon ?, has appeared in Raid Battles! If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny Cresselia… ✨ https://t.co/1uy5jkwIMX pic.twitter.com/fiAQkNR9fQ

With Legendary Lake Trio of Sinnoh – Azelf, Mespirit, and Uxie on their way out at the end of the Extraordinary Raid Week event, three other legends who have been out of rotation in raids are going to fill that void, with plans to continue on with more after the initial three.

The Psychic-type Cresselia is the first to make a comeback, joining the five-star raids for 22 days, starting from May 27 until June 18 with all events beginning and ending at 1 pm CDT on each date. Trainers will want to stock up on Bug, Dark, and Ghost-type Pokémon or something with those moves to help them make this raid easier.

Next up is Kyogre from June 18 to June 27and you will want to make sure your Electric-types are up to this challenge. With a few Pokémon like Magnezone or the right moveset on a Roserade, you should be good to weather the veteran of the seas.

Lastly is the hardest of the three to plan for, the Ground-type Groudon. Despite the typing, you won’t want to drag many grass types to this battle because of the coverage that Groudon has.

Solarbeam, Fire Blast, Earthquake, and more ensure that you might get blindsided if you only bring some Water or Grass-types to back you up. Instead, focus on dual typings that resist or are unaffected by multiple dangerous moves, like Gyarados and Salamence.

All three of these legends have a 1/19 chance at being shiny, so get battling as soon as they enter the raids if you want the highest chance at getting one of these legendary creatures with their alternate colors.
