Pokémon Go developer Niantic wants to get more trainers raiding during their daily break. A new event called Legendary Lunch Hour is coming to the mobile game next week as a test for future lunchtime events.
“From 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. in your local time zone, there will be an increased number of raids to test your battle skills alongside your friends, coworkers, and classmates,” Niantic said on the Pokémon Go website. The first of those events will kick off on Wednesday, March 13, at 12 p.m. local time.
Legendary Lunch Hours will bring “an increased number of raids during the event hour” to Pokémon Go. According to a tweet from Pokémon Go fan group The Silph Road, Legendary Lunch Hour will spawn Raid Egg timers that last 10 minutes and hatch one-hour Legendary Raids.

Tips and Tricks
You only have one hour for this event and, potentially, a great portion of that time is going to be spent catching Dialga (assuming you are not just raiding for the XP and items), as well as sitting through the 2-minute lobby timer each raid. As a result, there is a sense of urgency to the event. The event will go as fast as your regular work lunch break seems to, so taking the aforementioned into consideration, it is this author’s recommendation to keep the following tips in mind:
Plan your spot prior to the event, focusing on a large number of gyms with a short distance between them.
Planning a route and mapping it out will be beneficial for your raid group, as it ensures there is no confusion on which gym to go to, and leads to the greatest number of raids that can be done.
There is strength in numbers. Large groups of Trainers with high levels and good counters can make short work of any boss, as well as carve out the extra time needed to fit in additional raids.
Catching will be the most time-consuming part, assuming you intend to catch Dialga. In this case, it is best to use berries like the Silver Pinaps and Golden Razz Berries so that each throw has the best chance to catch. Additionally, throw curve balls. Set the throwing circle to the great or excellent range and wait for Dialga to attack before throwing so it does not bat away any balls.
That being said, catching is not entirely recommended, as it can be a time-consuming task, and time is against you. Some raiders, in fact, do not catch while on a dedicated train. They simply finish the raid and go to the next one, skipping the catch sequence altogether.
Realistically, the best case scenario for Dialga raids is completing, roughly, 10 for the hour. This educated guess is taking into account the 2-minute lobby timer, the raid itself taking around 1 minute, with a large number of players, and an average traveling/ready-up time of 3 minutes. This is not factoring in catching time and can vary depending on gym density, the number of people in the raid, and potential glitches and bugs that occur at the start of these events.
Pack a lunch for yourself, there won’t be any time to grab take out when you are grinding raids.


I caught two Groudon yesterday and caught 4 blue nose Digletts today.![]()
