Many players had been wondering for some time what was happening with the legendary dogs Some beings in the form of dogs that starred in the Pokémon games included in the Johto region. It's about Raikou, Entei and Suicune Niantic kept this ace up its sleeve and, finally, they have unleashed their encounter in Pokémon GO. That is, there are already three new legendary Pokémon to capture in the different gyms of the game.
Of course, these Legendary Pokémon land as raid bosses.That is, they come through the recent Pokémon raids. So it will continue to be necessary to get together as a group. Just like Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres, the legendary birds. And also with Lugia. Do you want to know where to find them and how to capture them? Well, keep reading.
Where to find them
Remember that Niantic is penalizing players who use applications to falsify their GPS location So we recommend you arm yourself with patience to take it easy Raikou, Entei and Suicune. And it is that the company has decided to make a staggered deployment of these legendary Pokémon. The starting gun takes place on the same day, August 31, but we must attend to the different geographical areas. Niantic has divided the world into three regions: the American Continent, Europe and Africa, and the Asia and Pacific Region Each of them will host one of these dogs or legendary Pokémon temporarily.Rotating month by month to give variety of options to all Pokémon trainers.
The first turn begins this very day August 31 and will last until the next September 30 For a whole month European players and Africans will have the option of getting hold of Entei, the legendary fire-type Pokémon. Meanwhile, Raikou will wander through the American regions and Suicune through the Asian territory. But only for one month.
Once September 30th arrives, these three legendary Pokémon will make the leap to a new continent or geographical area In this This way they will rotate so that players can complete their pokédex without the need to travel. But then again, they will only do so for a single month, until October 31. Finally, from October 31 to November 30 there will be one last change. Raikou, Suiune and Entei will reach the last territory they have yet to visit.It will be then when they stop appearing in Pokémon GO. As long as Niantic does not extend these deadlines.
How to capture them
At the moment we can only get hold of Entei, and in a limited way until September 30. Like the rest of the legendary Pokémon, it will arrive through raids. This means that we will need a large team of friends or unknown trainers with whom to join forces. At the moment no combat or CP data of these legendary dogs have been disclosed, but everything indicates that they will be as resistant as Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Lugia Therefore, we better get together with a good group.
If we really want to have a chance to capture it on time, it is recommended that the group be at least 15 people Everyone them with an average level of over 20. If the average is much higher or the group is closed with 20 people, defeating these legendary Pokémon should not be any problem.If you don't have that many friends, you can always take advantage of well-known and crowded public squares and places and approach any group present. The Pokémon trainer community is open and there is always room for someone else. As long as you are not the 21st trainer in the group, in which case it is advisable to wait for more people.
Once in combat, it is convenient to pay attention to the type that each legendary Pokémon defends. Luckily, Pokémon GO automatically shortlists the best Pokémon team for efficient raid boss attacks. But if you're an experienced trainer, just think about how Electric-type attacks are more effective on Suicune, who is a Water-type. Or how water especially affects Entei, a fire type. And finally, against Raikou, it is possible to use ground-type attacks, which counteract his electrical power.With this in mind, it only remains to choose the strongest Pokémon that have such attack types.
