Pokemon Go: 3 legendary Pokemon raids including Groudon returning in May, June and July

Niantic has officially announced that raid battles for Cresselia, Groudon and Kyogre will be returning between May and June. The legendary Pokemon were available as tier five raid bosses before and were extremely challenging to catch. Players who haven't caught these legendaries will now get a second chance.

The timings of the raids are as below:

• Cresselia May 27th at 8 PM UTC – June 18th at 8 PM UTC
• Kyogre June 18th at 8 PM UTC – June 27th at 8 PM UTC
• Groudon June 27th at 8 PM UTC – July 10th at 8 PM UTC

There is also a chance that encounters with these Pokemon will be a shiny. Pokemon Go has a higher chance of finding shinies compared to the console games. There is about a 1 in 9 chance that the Pokemon will be a shiny. But the Pokemon Games allowed you to soft reset to find a shiny and you can't do that in Pokemon Go.

Here are some details about the Pokemon raids and stats when you catch them
