Pokemon Go NEWS: London Community Day, Star Piece SALE, Kyogre UPDATE
POKEMON Go fans are treated to a triple dose of good news this week, as Niantic makes some HUGE announcements.
Pokemon Go developer is holding another huge sale on Star Pieces and Premium Raid Passes.
In a bid to encourage Legendary Raids, fans can pick up Special, Great and Ultra Boxes from the in-game store.
"Prepare for your upcoming Raid Battles against Kyogre, Groudon, and other powerful Pokemon by purchasing special boxes containing Premium Raid Passes," reads a Niantic tweet.
"Get them while you can in the in-game shop, as these boxes will only be available until January 22!"
The Special Box is available for 480 coins, and contains six Premium Raid passes, five lots of Incense and ten Pinap Berries.
The Great Box, meanwhile, costs 780 coins, and comes with nine Premium Raid passes, ten Star Pieces and ten Pinap Berries.
Fans can also spend 1480 coins on the Ultra Box, which comes with 20 Star Pieces and 15 Premium Raid Passes, as well as six Lucky Eggs and six Max Revive potions.
And the good news doesn't end there...
Pokemon Go fans have been given fresh incentive to tackle Legendary Raids, as Kyogre finally joins the game.
Trainers can battle and capture the Legendary Pokemon until February 14.
It's worth remembering that as a Water-type Pokemon, Kyogre is weak against Electric and Grass-type attacks.
“Its sole Fast Attack—Waterfall—is a Water-type attack, while its Charged Attack may be an Electric-type Thunder, Ice-type Blizzard, or Water-type Hydro Pump," the Pokemon Company explains.
“Electric-type Pokemon are reliable choices regardless of Kyogre's moves. Their Electric-type attacks will deal super effective damage to Kyogre, while none of Kyogre's attacks are super effective in return.
“Raikou will be the most effective Electric-type Pokemon by far, with Zapdos and Jolteon trailing afterward.”
