If anyone was wondering if Pokémon GO was still alive and kicking, the legendary Pokémon have arrived to dispel any doubts. During the Pokémon GO Fest in Chicago, Niantic launched a series of challenges that unlocked Lugia and Articuno, the first Legendary Pokémon to arrive in the game worldwide. But you won't find them hunting in the streets. Only available as Legendary Raid Bosses since the Pokémon GO Fest celebration.Do you want to know how to catch Lugia and Articuno?
You cannot face Lugia alone
The key to having a legendary Pokémon on your team is in the latest addition to Pokémon GO: raids. This group combat mode finally resembles the system of the original video games. You have to weaken a Pokémon to be able to capture it. During the raid, several friends (or strangers) battle an especially powerful Pokémon from a gym, the Raid Boss. Once downed, they can capture it as a reward for victory. Lugia and Articuno do not spawn in the wild while walking through your town You will only face them during a raid.
The first step is to obtain the Raid Pass at a PokéStop, for which you need level 20 or higher. If your finger hurts from spinning Pokéstops and there is no way, you can get a pass for 100 Pokécoins.When you have it, track down nearby gyms. An Egg will appear on those where there is a raid. Since we're looking for Lugia and Articuno, the Egg should be dark or black, which indicates that the Raid Boss will be a Legendary Pokémon. Needless to say, these raids are the toughest of all.
The difficult thing is not the capture, but the raid itself. This depends a lot on our level, but it is advisable to raid at least 14 or 15 trainers. For this reason, The ideal is to move to places with abundant PokéStops and gyms Only in this way can we ensure that we have enough company to carry out the "raid" successfully.
Take advantage of weak points
Articuno is an Ice-Flying-type Pokémon. Therefore, is vulnerable to Electric, Rock, Steel, and most importantly Fire-type attacksHe is a fearsome opponent, but even his ancestors will tremble under attacks from our most muscular Flareon and Arcanine.
Lugia is an even stronger Raid Boss than Articuno. It's a Psychic-Flying Pokémon, so the most effective attacks are Ice, Electric, Dark, Rock, and Ghost types If you've managed to capture Articuno , it will give you a great advantage in combat. But don't relax for a second. Lugia is a true titan, and you will need to combine several types of Pokémon to stand a chance.
As we say, the hard thing is to weaken Lugia or Articuno. Capturing them is much easier. When the match is over, you will get several Honor Balls as prizes.They will be essential to catch the legendary Pokémon that now appears before you, with a smaller amount of CP. Blow the palm of your hand to dry the sweat, and relax your fingers after so much touching against the screen. Use a Banana Berry to stop the Pokémon from moving. Prepare your Honor Ball, and throw it If you master the curveball, don't hesitate to use it. In case you don't get it the first time, repeat the process: Latano Berry, and Honor Ball. If the Legendary Pokémon is sticky and escapes again, change your strategy and use a Razz Berry. Then throw another Honor Ball, and it's finally yours.
Lugia and Articuno are the first legendary Pokémon to arrive on our mobile phones. You won't be able to leave them defending a gym, but you will be able to use them in your battles and raids. In addition, Niantic ensures that we will have the opportunity to capture Pokémon as desired as Ho-oh, Zapdos, Moltres or the powerful Mewtwo. We can't wait to catch you!
