Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf in five-star raids

Uxie, Mesprit, or Azelf will be appearing in five-star raids depending on where you are. We’ve updated our raid guides ahead of time for this event:

Mega Gengar, Mega Houndoom, Darkrai and other Dark Pokémon should be your top picks against the Lake Trio. Of course, we’ve got infographics to counter each and every one of the Lake Guardians (credits to Orange Heart):

These Pokémon are only available in their respectable regions, but you can use Remote Raiding to get one from abroad:

  • Mesprit ⟶ Europe, Africa and Middle East (EMEA region)
  • Uxie ⟶ Asia-Pacific (APAC region)
  • Azelf ⟶ Americas

Shiny Goldeen and Seaking

Shiny Goldeen is making its Pokémon GO debut, which unlocks shiny Seaking as well! They may not be everyone’s cup of lake tea, but we think a lot of players will enjoy shiny hunting them.

Pokémon commonly found near lakes—including Psyduck, Goldeen, Magikarp, Surskit, Starly, Bidoof, and Shellos—will be attracted to Incense, hatching from Eggs, and appearing more often in the wild.
