Anniversary Legends: Are They Worth It?
what's actually worth your time / candy
The Anniversary Celebration brings back three powerful Legendary mons: Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Groudon! This limited-time event runs from August 12 to September 6, giving trainers a chance to add these titans to their roster. Don't miss out on securing high IV versions of these game-changing mons.
Mewtwo is back, and it's still a top-tier Psychic attacker. The 'Perfect Mewtwo Timed Research' offers a chance to encounter this legendary mon. With a max Research CP of 1791 and a Raid Hundo CP of 2387, this mon is a must-have for raids and PvP. It ranks #34 in the Master League! Be prepared with Bug (Mega Heracross), Ghost (Mega Gengar), and Dark (Mega Tyranitar) counters to take it down efficiently.
Rayquaza returns, offering trainers a chance to collect candy for its powerful Mega Evolution. Its Raid Hundo CP is 2191, and Research CP is 1643. Rayquaza is doubly weak to Ice (2.56x!), making White Kyurem and Shadow Articuno prime counters. Rock, Dragon, and Fairy types are also effective. While not a top ML pick at #95, its Mega form is invaluable.
Groudon, the formidable Ground-type, is available again. With a Research Hundo CP of 1764 and Raid Hundo CP of 2351, it's a strong contender. Groudon is weak to Water, Grass, and Ice. Primal Kyogre, Mega Sceptile, and White Kyurem are excellent choices to counter it. Groudon sits at #32 in the Master League, making it a valuable asset for competitive play.
With such powerful mons available, ensuring you catch high IVs is crucial. Don't waste precious candy and resources on suboptimal stats. Use Hundo Hunter to quickly scan and identify perfect IVs for raids and research encounters. Prioritize Mewtwo for its overall utility, Rayquaza for its Mega potential, and Groudon for its strong Master League presence.
