Niantic has announced three Legendary Pokémon you can look forward to battling in five-star Pokémon GO Raid Battles during June and July – Cresselia, Kyogre and Groudon. Read on below for all the details:
Cresselia
This Psychic-type Legendary Pokémon is said to represent the crescent moon, but don’t let its graceful exterior lull you during battle. Psychic-type Pokémon are weak against Bug-, Ghost-, and Dark-type Pokémon, so be sure to have those ready!
