Mewtwo Arrives in Pokemon GO!

[Crossroads Bulletin]

That’s right! Mewtwo is coming to Pokemon GO around the world!
Many trainers spent the last three weeks furiously hunting legendary birds, but it’s not over yet! The recent Pokemon GO event in Japan saw the release of Mewtwo at a special invite-only Stadium event. The Mewtwo had a catch rate of 100% and trainers received 50 Premier Balls to catch it upon completing the raid. Niantic has now announced that Mewtwo will be available everywhere else “in the coming weeks”, through a new mechanic called “exclusive raids”.

Exclusive Raid Battles are similar to existing Raid Battles, with a few notable differences. Exclusive raids will periodically appear at Gyms around the world; however, unlike existing raids, Trainers will be invited to join an Exclusive Raid Battle. To receive an invitation to participate in an Exclusive Raid Battle, Trainers must have successfully completed a raid recently, by defeating the Raid Boss, at the Gym where the Exclusive Raid Battle will be taking place. The invitations will include advance warning of when the Exclusive Raid will take place, giving them ample time to coordinate with other Trainers before taking on the powerful Raid Boss.

We don’t know exactly how this will work yet, but hopefully it won’t make it more difficult to get enough people for raiding. On top of Mewtwo’s coming appearance, Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Lugia will continue being available until August 31st, so if you haven’t managed to get one yet, don’t give up! If you’re strugging to find people to play with, try searching Facebook for Pokemon GO raid groups around your area.

Good luck everyone!

So sick of raids haha

I quite like the concept of raids. The problem is I don't have anyone to attend them with. Kind of wish there was a solution to that.

...I don't even have Pokemon Go, I just like the idea of Mewtwo.

I feel so far behind on Pokemon GO and it's not even funny. :P

I could skip Mewtwo, but oh... I'd love my own Lugia. Favorite legendary right there.

Check online on like Facebook to see if your community has a Discord chat for raids. Mine does and is quite active. Recently the church near me about 2 houses down had Zapdos so I'm like "anyone wanna meet (insert location here) for Zapdos?" We had a group of 8 meet there in total and we just narrowly beat it. Didn't catch it sadly. You know sadly it's things like these raids that make people want to use cheating systems. I'd love to be in Yokohama right now searching for a shiny Pikachu. It's ONLY available there right now for the Pikachu Outbreakchu

Mm I might have to do that once I get back to college. I didn't have much luck finding any last time though.
