Pokémon GO Fest 2021 just got a whole lot more interesting with the announcement that every single Legendary Pokémon that has featured in the game so far will be returning to five-star raids during the event. The massive release of past Legendary raid bosses will happen on Sunday, July 18th for the raid portion of the event. Players will be able to hit their local gyms to fight and catch such fan favorites as Mewtwo, Reshiram, and Dialga, but only for a limited window of time. Here’s when you can catch all of the returning Legendary Pokémon during Pokémon GO Fest 2021.
Raid day during Pokémon GO Fest 2021 will take placy from 10am to 6pm in your local time on Sunday, July 18th. The day will be split into hour long segments, which will repeat during the second half of the event. During each hour a new set of themed Legendary Pokémon will be spawning at nearby gyms for you to battle against. However, Mythical Pokémon will unfortunately not be included in the event.
