Pokédex notes

Where in GO: Legendary raids, research breakthroughs, and GO Tour events

Invest tip: Low Kick + Sacred Sword / Close Combat is the Fighting kit; Poison Jab + Hydro Pump for Water. Mythical candy is scarce — power only copies you will use. Shadow Keldeo (if available) is the DPS lean — remove Frustration before investing. No Community Day exclusive is required.
