Trainers, the iconic Kanto Legendary Trio—Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres—are hitting raids! If you want to grab these classic legendaries, secure your shinies, or farm candies, now is the time.
I will be hosting raids for these, so if you want an invite, make sure to add me!

⚔️ BEST SUPEREFFECTIVE COUNTERS
To take them down fast and maximize your Premier Balls, use these top-tier counters:
❄️** Articuno (Ice/Flying): Double weak to Roc**k!
Best Counters: Tyranitar (Smack Down/Stone Edge), Rhyperior, Rampardos, or Terrakion.
⚡ Zapdos (Electric/Flying): Weak to Rock and Ice.
Best Counters: Rhyperior, Mamoswine, Rampardos, or Galarian Darmanitan.
🔥 Moltres (Fire/Flying): Double weak to Rock!
Best Counters: Rampardos, Rhyperior, Terrakion, or Tyranitar.

💡 Pro-Tip: Bringing strong Rock-type Pokémon (like Rhyperior or Tyranitar) will completely shred all three birds, especially Articuno and Moltres due to their 4x weakness!

Drop your names in the comments below after adding me so I know who to look out for. Let's get those shinies! ✨

Trainers, get your storage and wallets ready because the absolute biggest raid week in Pokémon GO history is here! Below is your ultimate playbook on how to survive and conquer the Road of Legends.

🧬 FUSION ENERGY & FORM CHANGES EXPLAINED
To unlock the ultimate powerhouses—White Kyurem, Black Kyurem, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Dusk Mane Necrozma—you need Fusion Energy.

How it works: You combine a base Kyurem or Necrozma with Reshiram/Zekrom or Solgaleo/Lunala.
The Cost: It requires 1,000 Fusion Energy per form change.
The Raid Grind: You earn roughly 80 to 140 Fusion Energy per raid depending on your clear speed.
The Target: Budget 8 to 12 raids per form to successfully pull off a fusion!

🎒 STRATEGY FOR LOW-PASS PLAYERS (F2P / Casual)
If you only have a handful of passes, DO NOT WASTE THEM ON DAY 1. Day 1 is a massive random pool. Instead, use your daily free passes and prioritize meta-defining power:

1. Top Priority (July 7 & 8): Do your 8–12 raids of White Kyurem or Black Kyurem to lock in a top-tier PvE attacker.
2. Weekend Priority (July 11–12): Save everything else for Mega Mewtwo. Even just 1 or 2 raids will give you a massive psychic attacker.
3. Daily Megas: Skip them! Do not use precious passes on standard Mega Tyranitar, Gardevoir, or Gengar if your resources are tight.

🐳 STRATEGY FOR HIGH-PASS PLAYERS (Whales / Hardcore)
If you are sitting on a mountain of coins and premium passes, it’s time to go all out. Remote limits are completely removed from July 6 to July 12!

1. Monday Chaos (July 6): Shiny hunt the ultra-rare Ultra Beasts or Mythicals you missed.
2. The Fusion Grind (July 7–8): Aim for at least 20-25 raids per day to guarantee enough energy to fuse multiple high-IV or Shiny Kyurem/Necrozma forms.
3. The Crowned Kings (July 9): Go hard on Zacian and Zamazenta to farm the 1,000 Crowned Energy needed for their form changes.
4. The Grand Finale (July 11–12): Grind out the ~16 raids needed to hit 7,500 Mega Mewtwo Energy to max out your Mewtwo's Mega Level instantly!
