Early last year Niantic held a raid event in
Pokémon Go featuring the legendary creatures Latias and Latios and 2020 is starting off the same way by returning the Eon Duo to the upcoming Raid Weekend's festivities.
Latias and Latios will begin their takeover of five star raids on Friday, January 24th at 1 pm PST and will continue to reign until Monday, January 27th pm PST. The "Eon Duo" is best countered with Dragon-Type pocket monsters, which means this is the time for Palkia, Garchomp, Dragonite, Rayquaza, Dialga and the like to shine.
Trainers who enjoy collecting shiny variants will see this weekend as a great one to head out as both Latias and Latios have shiny forms available in
Pokémon Go. Check out the shiny images of the legendary creatures below.
