We have some new regional Raids in Pokémon GO now. Like we had with Entei, Raikou and Suicune. In the main games these roam, which is why they decided to make them regional changing raids upon their release. As for Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf these have their own lake that they reside in. So they're kinda regional within the Sinnoh region, although they don't roam and stay in location.
These regional Raids will stay until the 27th of May.
- Uxie shows up in Raids in the Asia-Pacific region
- Mesprit shows up in Raids in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India
- Azelf shows up in Raids in The Americas and Greenland
They won't be available just in Raids however! For the first time, there will be Legendaries spawning in the wild. These spawns will be extraordinarily rare of course, most likely even rarer than Unown spawns and will only show up in their respective region.
This is a Mesprit Raid that was taking place here earlier. Unfortunately most people were busy so we couldn't do it yet, but I'll just take it on in one of the following days most likely!
There has been no news yet that I know off if these regional Raids will also change region over the next 2 months. Like Raikou, Entei and Suicune did. I would assume that they might switch region just for the Raids, while having the wild spawn only show up in their assigned regions. This is something we will have to see by the 27th though.
Wild spawns of these three Legendaries will remain active even after the event with them being in Raids ends. Which is pretty cool. I do hope that for the Raids they will change regions in the coming next two months so that we have the opportunity to catch all 3 of them from Raids. We will see if that indeed happens.
