Epitome via Niantic

Afterward Team Rocket stole what was waiting for Professor Willow and his team behind the mysterious closed door in Pokémon Go, the villainous team now has possession of an Apex Shadow Lugia and Apex Shadow Ho-Oh. These incredible Pokémon volition be appearing during the Pokémon Become Tour: Johto event on Feb 26 from 9 AM to nine PM in your local time zone.

Both Apex Shadow Lugia and Apex Shadow Ho-Oh will be available to all ticket holders, so long every bit they work through the Masterwork Research line. Whether yous've selected the Gilt or Silver ticket, you tin can catch both of these incredible Pokémon when they appear for the event. Noon Shadow Lugia volition learn Aeroblast+, and Apex Shadow Ho-Oh will be able to larn Sacred Burn down+. However, if you purify these Pokémon, they volition learn fifty-fifty stronger attacks of these charged moves, Aeroblast++ and Sacred Burn down++, respectively.

While we don't know if the Apex Pokémon themselves will have stat changes, the stronger attacks will likely plough these ii Pokémon into Primary League must-haves for players. We'll need to wait and see if there are any stat changes to these two, as Shadow Ho-Oh is seen as a stronger combatant than the purified version. If purified Apex Ho-Oh has a stronger Sacred Fire move than the Shadow version, we'll need to see which of the two options are a better fit for players.

It does expect like that Apex Shadow Lugia will not have a recolor and reflect the fan-favorite version of the original Shadow Lugia, Gale of Darkness, originally seen in Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness.

In add-on to Apex Shadow Lugia and Apex Shadow Ho-Oh appearing for the consequence, ticket holders can wait forrad to a Shiny Gyarados encounter, Ho-Oh Wing and Lugia Mask for your avatar, five rotating habitats, special trades, appearances by Entei, Suicune, Raikou, and the standard Ho-Oh and Lugia, and much more.

These Noon Pokémon add another layer of potential Pokémon for Niantic to explore. Shadow legendary Pokémon take been highly sought-later. The additions of these two Apex Pokémon make the Pokémon Go Tour: Johto even more exciting and worthwhile for players to nourish on February 26.
