Spotting and Catching Legendary Pokemon
To catch legendary Pokemon in Pokemon GO, you need to participate in Raid Battles. These are special events located at gyms, where multiple players team up to defeat a powerful Pokemon. If you win, you’ll get the chance to catch the legendary Pokemon you just defeated.
Legendary Pokemon appear in five-star raids, which are the most challenging tier. These raids often require a group of high-level players to succeed. Planning, teamwork, and strong Pokemon are key. Keep an eye on the game’s events, as Niantic regularly schedules raids featuring different legendary Pokemon.
