Meanwhile, the Legendary Raid in the popular augmented reality game is still ongoing. This month Legendary Beasts Raikou, Suicune, and Entei are on their second global rotations.
The Legendary Beasts were first introduced in the game in the late part of August. During that time, the Legendary Birds are scheduled to leave the game. To keep players immersed in the Gyms, the developer introduced the mythical beasts.
