As if everyone wasn’t already sugared up and hyper, Niantic dropped not one, but two tidbits of info this afternoon.
First, Niantic announced the first Generation 5: Unova Legendary Raid Boss would be coming to us starting November 4th. Cobalion is the choice. It’s a cool looking Pokémon, but, again, we get a month of a Dex filler Legendary, seeing as that is about all it’s good for.
Second, Niantic announced a Research Breakthrough shakeup for November and December. Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Kyogre, and Groudon (including their shiny variants) will be available as Research Breakthrough rewards for the next two months. Much excitement?
COBALION
Trainers,
Cobalion, the Iron Will Pokémon, is coming to five-star raids! This Steel- and Fighting-type Legendary Pokémon is said to have a body and heart of steel, so it’s in your favor to challenge it with Fire-, Fighting-, and Ground-type Pokémon.
Date + Time
From Monday, November 4, 2019, at 1 p.m. to Tuesday, November 26, 2019, at 1 p.m. PST (GMT −8)
Features
- Cobalion will make its debut in five-star raids.
Cobalion is part of a trio of Pokémon said to have challenged humans in order to protect other Pokémon. The three are rarely seen apart, so look forward to meeting the other two soon! In the meantime, GO build up your teams in preparation for battle.
