The Top 10 Smartphone Power Banks For Pokémon Go

Pokémon GO has celebrated its first anniversary with real-world and in-game summer events, ranging from the Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago in July to the ‘Pikachu Outbreak’ in Yokohama, Japan in August.

“It’s been an incredible first year for Pokémon GO thanks to the passion and dedication from the global Trainer community,” said John Hanke, CEO of Niantic. “As part of the first anniversary, we’ll be giving players around the world the chance to enjoy fun in-game events, engage with friends and other Trainers at real-world events, and much more.”

But far from dropping the Pokéball there, Niantic and The Pokémon Company International have since revealed that the first Legendary Pokémon are now available for Trainers worldwide to discover, battle, and catch in Pokémon GO.

According to Niantic:

Starting August 31, the Legendary Pokémon Raikou, Entei, and Suicune will begin appearing in Pokémon GO. Trainers worldwide can look forward to battling these Pokémon together with friends in Raid Battles for the chance to catch the trio of Legendary Pokémon originally from the Johto region.

Raikou, Entei, and Suicune will be traveling the world throughout the coming months. From August 31 to September 30, you can find these Legendary Pokémon in the following areas of the world:

• Raikou: an Electric-type Legendary Pokémon, can be battled throughout the Americas.
• Entei: a Fire-type Legendary Pokémon, can be battled throughout Europe and Africa.
• Suicune: a Water-type Legendary Pokémon, can be battled throughout the Asia-Pacific region.
