Planning
Two part question.
1) After this wave of the Legendary Beasts, what do you all think will be out there for Legendary raids? Ho-Oh over Xmas (at least the name is close to xmas-y)? Mewtwo as a non EX raid? The birds and Lugia coming back for a bit? The beasts doing a cycle tour?
Don't reply what you want them to do, reply what you'll think they WILL do.
2) Going forward, with this first wave of boss changes, how do you all think the raid bosses will change when Gen3 comes out? Will we lose Machamp and T-Tar? I suspect the new bosses are in for a while, but I don't know when the older ones will shift out.
Any info appreciated, with the caveat that the only people who really know what will happen (Niantic employees) probably are banned from discussing it at all.

personally I think they will add in dellibird as it is based off of santa.
after the Halloween event Niantic hinted that they would add new gen 3 pokemon this December and the legendary beasts finish at the start of December. Mewtwo was said to be a trail for the EX raid system so Personally I think that new gen. 3 legendaries and maybe HO-OH will be coming out through the EX raid system.
this is all speculation though so don't take my word for it
I think Ho oh comes out the week of thanksgiving because it looks like a turkey.
Ex raid invites will be tossed out and both mewtwo/ho oh will be available in a new Legendary God Tier 6 like the current raid system with the exception of no invite needed. Ex passes for Mewtwo and Ho oh will be available in the shop in boxes during the black friday sale for an arm and a leg (1 ex pass plus 10 potions for 480 coins)
Ho-oh will be out by thanks giving.

As per the series, the trio birds were controlled/Monitored by lugia. Thats why they release lugia with the other birds. Similarly, Ho-Oh created trio beast, So it makes sense that the Ho-oh is out almost at the end of trio beast. Since they are maintaining a lot of parallelism with the movies/series. So thanks giving seems more probable.
