Ever since the game’sofficial reveal trailershowed players teaming up to do battle with and capture the legendary Mewtwo,Pokemon GOfans have been eagerly awaiting any sign of the franchise’s more powerful creatures coming to the mobile title. Now a recent screenshot may have inadvertently revealed that the release of legendaryPokemonis just around the corner.
A new post made by EraticObserver on Reddit highlights the fact that the upcomingPokemon GORaid Battles will feature five tiers of difficulty for users to team up in order to complete. A screenshot displayed on the official Niantic Labs support page displays a Tyranitar silhouette at tier four, which is making fans wonder what the fifth tier could feature.
The powerful Dragon/Rock-Type is one of the game’s strongest creatures alongside the similarly tier four Dragonite. Since there’s no sign of aRaid Battlecontaining multiple creatures, it stands to reason that the long-awaited reveal of legendaryPokemoncould be coming with the next update.
Since the incredibly-successful mobile game currently contains the first two generations ofPokemon, we could see the likes of Lugia and Ho-Oh joining Mew, Mewtwo, and the legendary bird trio appearing in thenew gym update. The creatures will likely be stronger than the more easily obtainablePokemoninPokemon GO, so the mythical encounters will have to be limited carefully in the near future.
While Raid Battles will require the presence of several nearby players to complete, it seems thatPokemon GOmight not struggle to find the necessary user-base, judging by the recent ticket sales of the upcomingPokemon GOFestevent.
It might be true that the game quickly lost its cult following, but it seems that the AR title still has quite the substantial amount of fans prepared to log on, especially if a legendary catch is on the line.
Pokemon GOis available now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
