Pokémon GO Extends The Raid Time Of Latias – That’s Why It’s Good

Pokémon GO extends the raid times for Latias. The legendary Pokémon is now much longer than originally thought. We reveal why that was a good decision from Niantic.

Why the duration was a problem: After Niantic announced the return of Latias for a weekend, many players were in time pressure. With the dazzling version of Pokémon for the first time, many players wanted to make as many raids as possible. But this is difficult if Latias can only be caught for a weekend.

This is how Niantic has responded: The game developers responded to this criticism and made the Raid weekend just a raid week. So there is now Latias longer to catch

Many players are happy about the change.

We know that about the raid week with Shiny Latias

How long is there Latias? The whole event started already yesterday evening at 22 o’clock. Since this morning German players can also fight against the Pokémon of type Dragon and Psycho.

By the extension, you have until March 1, the chance to Shiny Latias.

Why is it extended? Niantic did not name a real reason for the extension. But one can assume that they have responded to the criticism of the players.

Many players found it bad that Latias was only available for such a short time. On Reddit much was discussed about the short raid time. This was probably also Niantic with and extended the times without further ado.

Why are longer times better? Latias is the first time to catch Shiny. If it were only available for 3 days, then only a few would have the chance of Shiny Latias.

Now you can hunt for a whole week after the dazzling Latias. The probability of the desired Pokémon is then all the greater because you can do more raids. Alone with the free Raid passports, you can fight 7 Latias. That’s much more than the 3 free raids so far.

How rare is Shiny Latias? The dazzling Pokémon has a probability of 1 to 19. That means, at least in theory, should after 19 raids Shiny appears.

To complete at least 19 raids, most players need more than a weekend. It is all the better if you have time all week long.

That was also a problem: This weekend, today on Saturday, is also the Perlu event. These two events overlap. Many players were in conflict. Dear Raiden, or the limited research play? Now the decision is a little easier because you can take it a little easier.
