Speculation

The following is NOT confirmed and is only speculation by this writer.

Week 1 – Never before seen Pokémon in Eggs and Johto lends me to believe like last year we will be getting Regionals in 7 km Eggs. This means Corsola and Heracross, definitely exciting for those in Europe and Northern Asia.

Week 2 – The first part of that statement is extremely broad, maybe certain Regional Pairs will swap? The second statement is much more Exciting – Mythical Pokémon Raids would be interesting. This could mean any of the three already released: Mew, Celebi, or Jirachi; or even the two Gen IV Mythicals: Darkrai or Arceus. But, most likely is this means the sometimes Mythical, sometimes Legendary Deoxys will be taken out of EX Raids and set loose on the world.

Week 3 – This screams Kanto Regionals. After 3 years it might finally mean they are losing their Regional status. This list includes Tauros, Mr. Mime, Farfetch’d, and Kangaskhan. Mr. Mime does have a baby, Mime Jr., that many have speculated about its release. Also, data miners have found a sprite for Shadow Kangaskhan and coding for the Team Rocket Leader Giovanni. Giovanni is known for using Kangaskhan in battle. Also with Gen V around the corner and a large Pokédex, new Regionals for each Zone will definitely be soon to replace the four from Kanto.
