For a lot of people, one of the top aims in Pokémon GO is to catch a good haul of Legendaries, as well as their Shiny and 100% CP versions. They are helpful in battles, both PvP and PvE, and because of their scattered and short releases, many are still lucrative. GO Fest Day 2 is the perfect time to work on your Legendary collection, with all raid bosses being available to catch, and this guide will help you with the Hoenn bosses.
While all previously released raid bosses will be available over the course of the day for this event, this article will cover the bosses originally found in the Hoenn region of the games. This includes Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Latias, Latios, Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza.. Remember, you can Mega Evolve a Pokémon to help you out with these raids, but only one Pokémon at a time. Once evolved, your Mega Pokémon will last for 8 hours.
Here’s everything you need to know about the raid bosses in the Hoenn region during Pokémon GO Fest 2021.
