Dialga, Palkia, Giratina Raids Take Over Pokémon GO Fest 2020 Day Two

Bleeding Cool has been breaking Pokémon GO news for GO Fest 2020 all month, but here's one thing that no one saw coming: a change in legendary raid bosses between Day One and Day Two. As of Day Two, Kyogre and Groudon are out and four different Legendary Pokémon are in. Dialga, Palkia, and Giratina Origin Forme are three of the most anticipated Legendary Pokémon in the game due to both their power and their absence from raids for over a year… which, in Niantic terms, is the longest a Legendary Pokémon has been unavailable in some form, full stop. Along with the more common Giratina Altered Forme, these Pokémon will finally return to raids for the big event. Here is a list, for each one, of the top six counters calculated by the Pokebattler algorithm, excluding Shadow Pokémon, so you can defeat these Legendaries.
