Pokemon Go developer Niantic has unveiled all the events coming to Pokemon Go for September 2020. This means another busy month for all Pokemon Go players.
Five Star Raids
The most interesting announcement is the arrival of four Legendary Pokemon to Five-Star Raids next month. Here are the details:
- Heatran arrived at Pokemon Go last August 21, 2020, but will still be available in the game until September 10, 2020.
- Starting on September 10, 2020, Cresselia will join the game and will be available to catch until September 18, 2020.
- Articuno will return to Pokemon Go on September 18, 2020. This event will end on September 25, 2020.
- Lastly, Zapdos will be available in Raids on September 25, 2020, until October 2, 2020.
Victini
In addition, Victini will be the featured Pokemon in a new Special Research quest called “Investigate a Mysterious Energy”. This event will be the first opportunity for all Pokemon Go players who haven’t joined in the Pokemon Go Fest 2020 events to catch the Mythical Pokemon, Victini.
For players who have already finished the “Rocket Straight to Victory” quest and have captured this Pokemon, completing this Special Research will grant them extra Victini candies.
Alolan Raichu
For September, the featured Pokemon for the new Research Reward Breakthrough Encounter event will be the Alolan form of Raichu. To make things more exciting, the Alolan Raichu can also be caught in its Shiny form.
