Keldeo Arrives In Pokémon GO For The Mythic Blade Event

The Season of Mythical Wishes will fulfill a Mythical Wish of many Pokémon GO players next week… we're getting Keldo! Keldeo, the Mythical Pokémon who rounds out the Swords of Justice group of Pokémon, arrives during the new Mythic Blade event kicking off next week via ticketed research. This is the first event of the Season of Mythical Wishes, which seems to start things off with quite a promising week of gameplay. Let's get into the details.

  • Wild spawns: Mankey, Machop, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Hitmontop, Combusken, Makuhita, Meditite, and Monferno. Poliwrath and Crabrawler will be rare spawns. From what I have observed, this looks very similar to the standard Season of Mythical Wishes spawn pool.
