The Season of Celebration and Pokémon Day weekend are ending on legendary notes for Pokémon GO players. The game’s team has announced a Raid Day featuring Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres. Trainers will be able to catch the three elemental birds which were introduced during Pokémon’s first generation in five-star raids, continuing the Kanto theme from the ongoing Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event.The game’s Kanto tour is a celebration that observes two important anniversaries for the game.
The Pokémon franchise was established in 1995, meaning the worldwide phenomenon recently celebrated its 25th birthday. In addition, Pokémon GO which took the brand into the mobile world of augmented reality launched in 2016 – making the game five years old in this year. To honor these occasions, Pokémon GO announced a trip back to where the series began, the Kanto region. The special, ticketed event promised players a chance to capture all of the original 151 Pokémon and a lot of fun, themed content. Most recently, the game’s creators shared that ticketed players would be able to choose between two different versions of the event, Red or Green, a nod to original Pokémon game titles. Choosing one or the other will not make a large difference for players during the event as the versions mainly impact which Pokémon are attracted by incense during the event.
Niantic recently announced that the three legendary flying Pokémon, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres would be capping off Pokémon GO’s Kanto festivities in a Raid Day. For a chance to catch one of these elusive creatures, trainers will have to wait until Sunday, February 28 – a date which marks the closing of the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto event. The five-star raids which feature the trio will take place for only a short period of time, namely from 11 AM and 2 PM, but will hopefully grant players enough time to not only catch all three but also score the creatures’ shiny versions.

Any players low on Raid accouterments need not worry, Niantic will have some on offer soon. There will be a free bundle of three Remote Raid Passes in the game’s shop which trainers can pick up between February 27 and March 1. Additionally, players can spin PokéStops or photo discs at Gyms to acquire a maximum of five Raid Passes while the event lasts. Team Rocket will also be making an appearance during the festivities as the group’s leader, Giovanni, hopes to make some trouble with a new Shadow Legendary Pokémon. Taking up the challenge in the new Team GO Rocket Special Research can mean saving the creature from his clutches.
There is a lot of Pokémon-filled content to check out leading up to Pokémon GO’s February 28 Raid Day. While capturing Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will make for a nice set of feathers in the cap of any Pokémon trainer after the dust settles, make sure to get as many of the first generation as possible and fill those Pokédex gaps during the Kanto tour this week.
