"Pokémon GO" is the most popular location-based game in the world.
The game is popular among men and women of all ages, but because of the nature of the game and the need to go outside, it has become difficult to play in these days when COVID-19 is spreading throughout the world.
Furthermore, there is a concern that Gym Battles and Raid Battles are held at specific locations, and since many people gather at a particular location, the risk of infection is high.
In light of this situation, the cancellation of the in-game event has been announced.
The "Legendary Raid Battle" featuring "Lugia" has been canceled.
The following changes have been made to the in-game events.
- Legendary Raid Battles featuring "Lugia" will be canceled.
- Raid Hour will be canceled.
- Spotlight Hour and Mysterious Bonus Hour, which were temporarily suspended in Japan and Korea, will resume.
The "Legendary Raid Battle" featuring "Lugia" was scheduled to begin on March 25, 2020, but was canceled at the last minute.
Lugia is a popular Pokémon, so it is unfortunate that the event was canceled, but let's trust that Pokémon GO will hold some kind of replacement event as soon as the situation settles down!
