Over the month of February, Pokémon GO has had more than its fair share of events, updates and new additions. However, this may have been a bit confusing for many trainers considering the vast amount of movement that went on in the community and in the game.
New Gen 3 Pokémon released
Dragon and Flying Types
On February 9th, the long awaited full of Gen 3 finally came, expanding from December 2017, this wave of new Pokémon introduced some of the most sought out attackers and defenders in game, introducing Pokémon such as Metagross and Salamence which play heavily into the meta scene, but also finally introducing some of the pokédex entries many trainers have been wanting ever since Gen 3’s initial release.
Besides this, one of the most interesting Pokémon trainers waited for, Castform, was released, although having a spawn based on the weather surrounding it, many trainers were disappointed to see Castform would not change weather form after being captured, a feature many trainers looked forward to.
Missing Pokémon
Although many trainers were satisfied to finally see this release, many still shake their heads and wonder where certain Pokémon such as Nincada and its evolutions are, and most likely, the Pokémon that remain unreleased will succumb to the same fate as Generation 1’s Ditto, or Generation 2’s Delibird. Let’s just hope they do not fall into the same abyss as Smeargle.
Legendaries
Continuing through February as had started in January, Kyogre remained as the sole Legendary in the Raid Cycle up until February 14th. As Kyogre was leaving, a new Legendary joined the Raid Boss scene, the last member of the Legendary Weather Trio, Rayquaza, joined the fight against trainers starting February 9th, quickly becoming a popular Legendary to obtain, especially because of its usefulness in the meta compared to others of its same typing.
Legendary Week
Starting February 23rd, Kyogre and Groudon returned to the raid scene to join Rayquaza for a Legendary Week, where all three Legendaries would be available from Tier 5 Raid Eggs, giving trainers one more opportunity to catch Kyogre and Groudon in case they missed them, or to have more time to catch Rayquaza. Throughout this event, there is a competition being held to see who trainers catch more of, Rayquaza? Or Kyogre and Groudon combined? The winner of this will affect which Pokémon types appear from eggs starting March 5th, where the winner will be announced.
