Zekrom/Reshiram raid does not have legacy move



The event clearly states that Zekrom and Reshiram WILL have their signature move, while Kyurem MAY have Glaciate. I just now realize some my Zekroms dont have Fusion Bolt. Does anyone suffer from the same problem? Thanks alot.

    Edit: out of ~20 Zekrom I have at least 7 that does not have fusion bolt.

    I’d blame AI, but this is how the game has always been.

    No, the notes said that Zekrom, Reshiram AND Kyurem WILL know their signature moves when encountered after a raid.

    7/16 for me and 7/17 for my wife do not have Glaciate.

    Already opened a ticket … wait and see !

    the only thing I can think of: is it possible you remote raided them outside of your timezone? that’s been known to screw stuff up. or did that also apply to mons caught between 2 and 5pm local time?

    I’ve only been doing Kyurem for the fusion energy, and only remoting (eastern USA – no locals yet) so far, but none have had Glaciate. I assume it’s just a time zone thing? However, I do seem to be getting the boosted shiny rate. I dunno, guess I’ll take it

    Same my zekrom also doesnt have its move.

    I remoted raided one each, both got their legacy moves

    I don’t know if it’s the case this time, but previously when we’ve had rotating raid bosses within a time window and legacy moves, you didn’t get the legacy move if you caught the ‘mon after the allocated window for it.

    E,g Zekrom was 2-2:30, 3-3:30, 4-4:30 for me – if you did a raid at the end of the window and the encounter start (not actual catch) was at like 2:32 then it won’t have the legacy move.

    What time zone are you in? Wondering if this was the NZ special or if this happened in many more zones.

    My reshiram has fusion flare, weird…

  12. So glad I’ve raided enough where I don’t need anything and can sit this one out. But, it’s easy to do when you get the same 5 raid bosses for the last few years. Complete circus full of clowns running the game content.

    I raided none outside of their dedicated time and every Zekrom/Reshiram have their announced move.

  14. Can you Charged TM into it or does it have to be Elite TM?

  15. AttentionAfraid1277

    All the Reshirams I caught after event hours (like 5:10 pm) did not have the legacy move, but that part was kinda expected for me since it happened before.

    contact help via chat. they’ll prob give you an elite tm

    Is this a bug? I thought it was just unlucky, I did about 25 raids today and 6 of them did not have the special move. Including both shiny kyurems I caught did not have glaciate so I didn’t want to fuse them.

    Have we got an official statement already?

    That sort of mistake/communicating misleading/outright wrong information by Niantic isn’t surprising anymore, sadly, but that doesn’t make it any less unacceptable.

    Coins were spent, passes/remote passes were bought, and part of the reason for that would have been the expectation to get the advertised special move on the encounters.

    If the encounter started after 5pm local time, it didnt have the legacy move. Applicable for kyurem, reshiram and zekrom
