The series of special back-to-back Raid Hour events is nearly over, but there are still a few bosses to battle. Pokemon GO trainers can continue their special activities surrounding the ongoing Mischief Unbound event and, as the Season of Mischief comes to a close, enjoy yet another night of increased Legendary Battle Raid sightings.
The series of special Mischief Unbound Raid Hours ran from November 26 - November 29 and offers players some additional activities to go along with the Special Research taking place. Each event provides one hour (6pm-7pm local time) to battle one or more returning Legendary bosses in Pokemon GO 5-star Battle Raids. Tonight's series of bosses features another trio - Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion.
Like with the offerings over the weekend, Cobalion, Virizion, and Terrakion all have shiny potential, which makes this another exciting event for both collectors and players who are just looking to increase their meta-relevant collections...
