Trainers who can’t capture enough legendary Pokémon in Pokémon Go to add to their collection, you will love September. Each week, a new five-star raid Pokémon will be available for trainers to team up with their friends to try and capture. These Pokémon are pretty tough, so you need to plan your strategies accordingly. Make sure to invite other trainers to help you increase your chances of capturing these Pokémon while you can fight them.
