Following the opening day’s focus on hourly habitats, special costumed Pokémon, and the Global Arena Challenges, day two of Go Fest 2021 will feature every Legendary Pokémon that has ever been available in Pokémon Go

We already knew the closing day would be centered around raids, but now, every Legendary Pokémon will be appearing in five-star raids around the world. This will be done by splitting them up into four themed hours that will rotate throughout the day—Wind, Lava, Frost, and Thunder Hours. 

Here is the current set of rotations for the Legendary raid day, with the exception that Mythical Pokémon will not be appearing in these raids. These raids will also be available to non-ticketed players. 

  • Wind Hour
    • 10 to 11am and 2 to 3pm local time
    • Mewtwo, Ho-Oh, Latias, Latios, Regigigas, Altered Forme Giratina, Cresselia, and Therian Forme Tornadus
  • Lava Hour
    • 11am to 12pm and 3 to 4pm local time
    • Moltres, Entei, Regirock, Groudon, Heatran, Reshiram, Therian Forme Landorus, and Yveltal
  • Frost Hour
    • 12 to 1pm and 4 to 5pm local time
    • Articuno, Suicune, Lugia, Regice, Kyogre, Palkia, and Kyurem
    • Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf will also be appearing in raids, but only in their respective areas
  • Thunder Hour
    • 1 to 2pm and 5 to 6pm local time
    • Zapdos, Raikou, Registeel, Rayquaza, Dialga, Therian Forme Thundurus, Zekrom, and Xerneas
