The legendary birds of the Kanto region return to Pokémon GO for the Kanto Celebration Event. We detail the best strategy.
Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are temporarily returning to Pokémon GO. The Kanto Celebration Event for the saga’s 25th anniversary is about to begin. Unlike the Pokémon GO: Kanto Tour (paid event), this new meeting invites us to follow the facts of the countdown of this great event for the saga.
After the events of Kalos, Teselia, Sinnoh, Hoenn and Johto, the legendary birds of the Kanto region return through the big door, so we are going to explain how to defeat Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres in Pokémon GO.
Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres in Pokémon GO
Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres in Pokémon GO: dates and details
The event starts on Sunday, February 21, 2021 at 10:00 a.m. and will run until March 1 at 08:00 CET. On Sunday 28 there will be a special opportunity from 11:00 to 14:00 local time. It will be then when we can face both Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres as well as Mewtwo in the legendary raids of level 5; all can be shiny / variocolor. Likewise, there will be rotations in the level 1 and level 3 raids, so we invite you to be very aware of your closest PokéStops.
Articuno in Pokémon GO: best opponents
Articuno is an Ice / Flying type Pokémon with 40,165 CP in level 5 raids, it is a simple confrontation, but we must be careful if it attacks us with movements like Blizzard, its best loaded. It has 192 ATK, 236 DEF, and 207 RES. These are the best opponents today. Has x4 weakness in Rock type.
- Rampardos with Antiaircraft and Avalanche
- Rhyperior with Flak and Rockbreaker
- Terrakion with Anti-Aircraft and Avalanche
- Tyranitar with Anti-Aircraft and Sharp Rock
- Aerodactyl with Rock Thrower and Avalanche
- Tyrantrum with Rock Thrower and Sharp Rock
Zapdos in Pokémon GO: best opponents
Zapdos is one of the most loved by the community. Electric / Flying type, it is best to attack him with Ice and Rock type movements. In the level 5 raid we can see him with 46,418 CP and he has statistics of 253 ATK, 185 DEF and 207 RES. Be careful with Electrocannon, because it can melt our Pokémon with a couple of hits. It is difficult to have that movement, but it can happen. His best counters:
- Darmanitan with Ice Fang and Avalanche / Ice Fist
- Rampardos with Antiaircraft and Avalanche
- Rhyperior with Flak and Rockbreaker
- Terrakion with Anti-Aircraft and Avalanche
- Mamoswine with Powder Snow and Avalanche
- Weavile with Frozen Song and Avalanche
- Jynx with Frost Vapor and Avalanche
- Aerodactyl with Rock Thrower and Avalanche
Moltres in Pokémon GO: best opponents
We finished with Moltres. Flying / Fire type, it does not have much complication either if we go from five people to this raid. It has 45,609 PCs and has an absolutely devastating movement like Sofoco; but it is that it can also come out with Flare. He is certainly the most dangerous of the three under these conditions, but his x4 weakness to Rock type and weaknesses to Electric and Water make it not so bad. His stats are 251 ATK, 181 DEF, and 207 RES. We leave you with the best opponents:
- Rampardos with Antiaircraft and Avalanche
- Terrakion with Anti-Aircraft and Avalanche
- Gigalith with Anti-Aircraft and Avalanche
- Aerodactyl with Rock Thrower and Avalanche
- Tyranitar with Anti-Aircraft and Sharp Rock
- Omastar with Rock thrower and Avalanche
