Email content
The email, reportedly sent by Niantic Support in Japan, has confirmed that the field testing for the new type of raid for Mewtwo has already ended in Japan.
This means that players in the country will no longer have the chance to fight and catch Mewtwo until it is released worldwide through the EX Raid Battle. In addition, the email claims that Mewtwo will not be the first pocket monster that will have a worldwide EX Raid release.
The email allegedly then goes on to state that after Legendary Beasts Raikou, Suicune, and Entei leave the game in November, the EX Raid Battle will be released in the game.
Contrary to the community’s anticipation, Legendary Bird Ho-Oh will be released as the game’s first EX Raid Boss. Moreover, the email mentioned the Halloween event that will happen this month. It also referenced the Totorri event that is scheduled in Japan at the end of November.
Players have been speculating about the arrival of the Legendary Bird Ho-Oh in “Pokemon Go” since August. However, Niantic Labs introduced the Legendary Beasts at the exit of the Legendary Birds. There are several players in the community that are skeptical about the authenticity of this email.
