Niantic officially announced that they are offering five Legendary Pokémon as Special Research Encounters. The five Legendaries are Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Kyogre, and Groudon. These five Legendaries will be available in Special Research starting on Nov. 1 at 1 p.m. pacific daylight time. They will stop being available on Jan. 1, 2020, at 1 p.m. PDT.

Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres are the Legendary bird trio from the original Pokémon Red and Blue games. Articuno is a bird with the powers of ice. Zapdos is the master of electricity, and Moltres is the Legendary flame bird. Their types are self-explanatory.

Kyogre and Groudon are the masters of the sea and land, respectively, first introduced in Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. Kyogre is a giant whale-like Pokémon and is a pure water-type. Groudon is a pure-ground type unless it turns into its Primal form; Primal Groudon is a ground/fire-type.
