Niantic has announced that Mewtwo is the next legendary Pokemon to be added to the outrageously successful Pokemon Go game. In a post on the Pokemon Go Live’s website, Niantic said that ‘In the coming weeks, you, too, will have the opportunity to battle and catch Mewtwo with the new Exclusive Raid Battle feature’.
Mewtwo was unlocked globally after being caught in a Japanese stadium event for the game. Obviously that event was a far more successful one than Grant Park in Chicago, which is a good sign that Niantic is ensuring that network coverage is better supported at these events.
Folks who play Pokemon Go will soon have the opportunity to capture Mewtwo in new Exclusive Raid Battles that’ll ‘periodically appear’ at PokeGyms around the world. Unlike existing raids, trainers need to be invited to join in an Exclusive Raid Battle this is achieved by successfully completing a recent raid as well as beating the Raid Boss at the Gym where the Exclusive Raid Battle will take place. An invitation will give advance warning of when the Exclusive Battle Raid is going to happen, giving the player time to co-ordinate with other trainers in order to team up and defeat the beat the Raid Boss.
Mewtwo is the the first Pokemon that Trainers can face in these Exclusive Raid Battles, but Niantic has said that, ‘other powerful Pokémon may also start to hatch from the Raid Eggs found at Exclusive Raid Battles over the next several weeks’. Time to get training then folks, no pressure.
