New Legendary Pokémon Coming Pokémon Go is always exciting because it means more five-star forays will come to the game, and many of these Legendaries have brand new events centered around them. On May 19, developer Niantic announced that they were bringing Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem to the mobile augmented reality game.
Originally discovered in the Unova region and first encountered by Trainers in the Pokémon Black and Pokémon White versions, the legendary Pokémon Reshiram, Zekrom and Kyurem will soon make their Pokémon GO debut in five-star raids! https://t.co/OulCpObqCS pic.twitter.com/KgSqiLZHDe

The former, Reshiram and Zekrom, made their debut for the first time in Pokémon Black and White, released in 2010. They were the new legendary Pokémon. Reshiram was a Dragon and Fire type, while Zekrom was a Dragon and Electric type. Two years later, GameFreak got the first and created a direct sequel to these Pokémon games, Black 2 and White 2, and introduced a new legendary for these editions, Kyurem, which is a Dragon and Ice type.
Now, these three Pokémon Go are on their way. Unfortunately, there are no exact release dates for all three. We know they will be coming to the game at the end of May. Of the three, Reshiram will be the first. You can interact with them starting May 26 at 13pm to June 00 at 16pm PDT. The other two, Zekrom and Kyurem, will come to the game at a later date.
The release dates and times for these Legendary Pokémon may mirror that of Thundurus, Tornadus, and Landorus, the Legendary Pokémon of Forces of Nature. These Pokémon made their debut in early 2020, with Tornadus first arriving in February, followed by Thundurus in March and Landorus in April. Each of them have been featured in five-star raids for the entire month, giving the coaches plenty of time to engage. Some of these Legendary Pokémon also showed up as rewards of the Battle League, Pokémon Go's player-versus-player system that also made its official debut in early 2020.
We can expect to learn more details about Zekrom and Kyurem in the future. Trainers better be ready to prepare their ideal Pokémon tokens for them to face soon. Make sure you are ready to take on Reshiram starting May 26th.
