A new Legendary has begun appearing in Pokemon Go. Regice, one of the three Legendary titans originally from Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire, can now be found at Gyms around the world as a Raid Battle, where it will appear until July 19. As usual, players will first have to team up with other Trainers and battle Regice before earning a chance to capture it. Like its name implies, Regice is an Ice-type, which means it's particularly vulnerable to Fire-, Rock-, Steel-, and Fighting-types.

Beginning this past June, players could team up with friends to battle against powerful boss Pokemon at Gyms. Aside from appearances by new Legendary Pokemon, however, Raids have featured the same list of bosses since the feature first rolled out back in summer--until now. Pokemon Go developer Niantic has refreshed the list of boss Pokemon players can encounter in Raid Battles. Surprisingly, Niantic didn't advertise the change in advance of its implementation; instead, the developer quietly rolled it out over the past weekend. Among the changes Niantic has made to Raids are their duration. Before, players would have a full hour to complete a Raid after the boss Pokemon hatched; now, the Raid Battle will last for 45 minutes. As far as new Pokemon go, Metapod is now a tier-1 Raid Boss, while Ivysaur, Charmeleon, and Wartortle have...
