Legendary Birds!!!
Is there still a chance for the legendary birds to show up as raid bosses?? I've stared playing pogo since its launch, but there after stopped playing it. Started again when Groudon was released. So is there still hope with it.....like they did for the weather trio????

My guess is if they bring back the legendary birds, they'll be event-specific (I believe they already did this for one of their events in either Europe or Asia). Of course, Niantic could always do reruns of all the previously released legendaries down the line except this time, their shiny variants would be available as well.
As much as I would appreciate shiny legendaries, as much I wouldn‘t want them in the game. I would guess they could cause even more frustration than the normal legendaries, as they are hard enough to catch, and I bet many people wouldn‘t get them and get pissed at some people getting multiple ones and therefore quit the game. Just my thoughts.
I definitely agree with your concerns here. But since all of the legendaries released thus far have their shiny sprites in the code, I imagine it's only a matter of time until we see them in game.
Plus, if Niantic continues with the theme of one new legendary per month, then we're going to run out of Gen 3 legendaries 5 months from now. At that point, I'm thinking they'll either start releasing the mythical Mons, rerelease old legendaries with shiny variants, or maybe they've got some new content in the works.
My totally out of left field with no privileged info at all is that for the second anniversary of the game, in mid July, they will have 2-3 days where all raids will be legendary, and all legendary raid bosses will be back. The birds, the beasts, the weather trio, Ho-Oh and Lugia, and whatever we'll see between now and then. Pretty cool if they actually do it, and one can hope, ....
