Shiny Groudon Roars into Raid Battles June 27th: Will Armored Mewtwo Come Next?

  • Groudon will be the raid boss today from 3 PM CST to July 12th
  • Will Mewtwo make a return after for the movie premiere?

June 27th, 2019 marks the return of Groudon as the legendary raid boss!

Groudon is the legendary counterpart to Kyogre and is the strongest Ground-type Pokemon in the game currently. (Garchomp is a close 2nd!)

Check out our Groudon guides below. 

Groudon leaves raid battles on July 12th. Coincidentally, another Pokemon event will be taking place on this date: the release of the remake of the first Pokemon movie, Pokémon: Mewtwo Strikes Back—Evolution,  in Japan. 

The movie features a Mewtwo in a suit of armor, being experimented on by Team Rocket. 

Previously, several lines of code were found in reference to Mewtwo by dataminer @Chrales. In the recent update, there had been a slight change made to Mewtwo's Pokedex page as well, as shown by the Reddit thread below by user u/kyloles. 

Mewtwo's icon at the bottom of the r/TheSilphRoad - Pokedex is blank. Does this give some hints about the team rocket event?

There has been no official confirmation of anything that might happen after Groudon, but stay tuned for more details.
