Appearing in the Wild

These Pokémon will be appearing in the wild during the entire event.

Note: The Legendary Beasts are very difficult to catch in the wild. They are also very likely to flee if you don’t catch it in the first try. You can, however, take a snapshot of them to progress in the Raikou, Entei, and Suicune Photo Safari Timed Research.
