Pokemon Go has announced a special raid event featuring Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf after there were “technical issues” with the Lake Trio’s recent raid appearances. Here’s what trainers need to know.
Like the mainline series of Pokemon titles, Pokemon Go offers players the chance to catch Pokemon that come in very rare Shiny variants. These Shinies appear very rarely and have data values applies to dictate the chance they have of appearing.
Unfortunately, recent “technical issues” affected Shiny rates for the Legendary Pokemon Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf which developer Niantic later apologized for.
Now, Pokemon Go has announced a special raid event featuring the Generation 4’s Lake Trio to makeup for the technical issues that affected many players who tried to catch their Shiny versions. Here’s a breakdown of everything trainers need to know about this raid event.
Pokemon Go Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf Makeup event start date
According to Niantic’s blog post, the event will take place on Sunday, June 11, 2023, from 11 AM to 5 PM local time.
