Pokemon Go Adds Legendary Pokemon Latios and Latias

By Andrew Goldfarb

Legendary Pokemon Latias and Latios will be available in Pokemon Go starting today.

From today until May 8, Latias will begin to appear in Raid Battles in Europe and Asia, and Latios will be available in North America, South America, and Africa. After May 8, the Pokemon will switch locations and will be available in their new regions until June 5, when both will disappear from the game.

Latios and Latias are the fourth and fifth Legendary Pokemon to appear from generation 3, following Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza in the last few months. Legendary Pokemon yet to appear from generation three include Regirock, Regice, and Registeel, as well as Mythical Pokemon Deoxys.

Pokemon Go recently added a new research system along with Mythical Pokemon Mew, making the entirety of the Kanto Pokedex available, and switched to 8-bit sprites for April Fool’s Day.
