On Monday, Pokémon GO implemented rewards alongside the results of an Earth Day campaign. Hours later, Trainers were finding more than just Shiny Digletts and Groudon overtaking gyms; suddenly, three Legendary Pokémon were appearing in the wild! Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf sent Trainers into a gotta catch ‘em all hunt, pooling resources together to figure out how to catch the lake trio.
The curtain has been pulled back today and we now have the official details from Niantic. Entering this month’s Raid selection, Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf will be available to catch. They can also be spotted in the wild, making them quite the special Legendaries. As of now though, these Raids are regional. Niantic breaks down the info in a Pokémon GO Blog post:
