The world of Pokemon GO has a lot going on this month. March is full of big updates, events, and changes for the mobile AR game. In addition to the recently announced Shadow Bonus that totally changes how Shadow Pokemon will be used in the game, players also have a month full of opportunities to catch different Legendary Pokemon.
Although tier 5 Battle Raids are focused on Thundurus for at least the first few weeks of March, every weekend is going to offer an exciting opportunity to catch a different Legendary creature with the chance for a shiny. This month of Legendary Raids in Pokemon GO lines up perfectly with the start of warmer weather in many areas and should make for a busy month of raiding.
Trainers will be excited to learn that the Pokemon being features as part of the special month of weekend raiding are actually all very powerful and relevant to the Pokemon GO metagame. From Darkrai to Altered Forme Giratina, there's a good way to put all of these Legendaries to use in PvP or PvE battles...
