Possible leak: Ho-Oh EX Raid test to start in December!

Posted in

Trainers,

we have an interesting piece of news to report today. We have reasons to suspect this, as Niantic Support doesn’t have a tradition of leaking important info in e-mails, but still, it could be true.

Please, manage your hype responsibly, we’ve reached out to Niantic but haven’t received any confirmation yet. According to a reddit thread that’s gaining traction, the Japanese Pokemon GO Support officials have confirmed the following:

  • Mewtwo EX Raid tests are over in Japan
  • Ho-Oh will start appearing as an EX raid boss in December!

The reddit thread shows an e-mail sent out to a Japanese player, stating Ho-Oh will start appearing as soon as the Legendary Beasts finish rotation. The support officials recommended to enjoy the Halloween and Tottori (JP only, sand dune event) events in the meanwhile.

As stated before, we’ve reached out to Niantic for further confirmation and clarification.
