Niantic, Inc.'s "Pokemon Go" is gearing up for one of its biggest raids this November 2020, as the powerful Aeroblast Lugia will soon come on the game as the top boss that holds one of the rarest moves in the game. The AR Game is making fan-favorite Lugia up for grabs again, but this time, with a harder challenge under the Animation Week event.

Lugia is one of the rarest Pokemon in the game, with its last significant sighting in 2017 during its debut and Raid events. However, the Legendary Bird was already hard to catch then, despite not having its famous Flying-type move initially seen on the Japanese Manga and the console games, the Aeroblast.
'Pokemon Go's' Animation Week November 2020: Aeroblast Lugia Comeback
Aeroblast Lugia will appear on the Animation Week event of "Pokemon Go" as a five-star raid throughout the incoming week, starting at 1 PM PT or 4 PM ET, Thursday, November 5, until Monday, November 16. The coming week will be the Pokemon's debut back to the game, offering a chance to battle against the Pokemon, capture Lugia with its popular Aeroblast, and win other Raid items.

However, playing against Lugia would not be an easy feat despite having the best team one can gather. It is ideal to best go up against "Pokemon Go's" Legendary Johto Bird with its weaknesses and counters, and that too would not be enough.
Raid schedules are unpredictable and have no pattern, so always be on the lookout for the legendary bird's appearance and sighting in one's area. Aeroblast Lugia will still appear on five-star raids, and players will be notified that an incoming event is set to happen within site.
