Ho-Oh ho! Merry Christmas! December 2019 has treated trainers in
Pokémon Go quite well by presenting fans with a bevy of events to participate in even if it might take a little more motivation to head out into the cold.
One of these events is a special raid challenge weekend featuring two fan-favorite Legendary Pokémon. Those would be the birds from Generation II, Ho-Oh and Lugia, and the event is running from today, December 20th, through December 23rd.
For trainers who have yet to capture this Pokémon, this is a great opportunity - and more importantly - this serves as a huge opportunity for the community to have a better chance at capturing shiny variants of the legendary birds.
A strong team to face Lugia would feature such Pokémon as Darkrai, Giritina (Origin), Weavile, Magnezone, Tyranitar, Raiku, Zapdos, Hydreigon, Electrivire, Mewtwo, Luxray, Mamoswine, Rampardos, Golem (Alola), Glaceon, Terrakion, Gengar, Jolteon, Honchcrow, Aggron, Omastar, Absol, Deoxys, Metagross, Gardevoir, Jynx, Raichu (Alola), and Houndoom.
Meanwhile, anybody heading out to match wits with the legendary Ho-Oh would feature Pokémon such as Rampardos, Electrivire, Terrakion, Rhyperior, Aggron, Aerodactyl, Omastar, Golem (Alola), Regirock, Golem, Rayquaza, Zapdos, Raikou, Lunatone, Solrock, Moltres, Magnezone, Sudowoodo, Kyogre, Probopass, Kabutops, Mewtwo, Kingler, Palkia, Gyarados, Ampharos, Swampert, Emboar, and Armaldo.
