This weekend of September is the next Raid day after the last Pokemon Go event of the summer in Japan. Suicune will be the star of the next Raid Day which is the Legendary Water-type beast from Generation 2 that will know a special exclusive move and could also be encountered in its shiny form.
I was been lucky to get a Shiny Legendary beast with Raikou so although I may not be able to do three hours of raids given commitments I have, I will give a couple a try as the event provides up to five free raid passes for spinning stops. The challenges were met by the trainers around the world this Summer so it has been pretty busy in the community as they continue to deploy events and content.
Niantic has really performed well this Summer considering the high expectations they set when announcing these events months ago. I think that they have delivered on providing engaging content throughout the Summer; maybe too much. I did bot take it as seriously as last year so I have enjoyed it a bit more this time around. However, I am sure that Niantic would want to use the momentum of the Summer events to deploy more engaging content.
Thanks!
