A quick note for anyone playing Pokémon GO alongside Switch — this one's mobile, not Nintendo hardware, but it's part of the wider Pokémon news cycle worth flagging briefly.

The Lake Guardian trio — Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf — returned to five-star raids on August 5 and stick around through August 11, with each legendary tied to a specific region: Uxie in Asia-Pacific, Mesprit across Europe/Middle East/Africa/India, and Azelf in the Americas and Greenland. A dedicated Raid Hour ran the evening of the 5th with boosted spawn rates for whichever Lake Guardian is regional to you. Shiny versions are possible for all three.

Mega Blaziken is also in Mega Raids for the same window, through August 11.

We'll keep our focus on Nintendo Switch and Pokémon Champions coverage going forward — this is here as a brief aside, not a shift in what the site covers.
