2. RAIKOU RETURNS VIA RESEARCH
The Legendary Pokémon Raikou will be returning soon! On August 1 at 1:00 PM PDT, Raikou will replace Snorlax as the Research Breakthrough encounter.
If you want to get a Snorlax with Body Slam before it disappears, make sure to work towards it in these next few days. If you want to get a Raikou instead, do not claim your seventh Stamp until after 1:00 PM PDT on August 1. And one more reminder: the summer-style Pikachu will disappear 24 hours prior to Raikou's return.
