So this is a thread where you post your theory that you have in PoGO and talk about them!
Chat away!
Here is a theory: the fighting event was teased in the raids, since a total of NINE fighting types are in the raids this month they are: Poliwrath, Machamp, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, Combusken, Breloom, Monferno, Makuhita, and Meditite, and 5 of these are featured in this, those are: Breloom, Meditite, Makuhita, Machamp, Hitmonchan, and Hitmonlee. So I think Niantic teased the event ahead of time, but again, fighting types are usually in raids, but these are not usually in raids: Combusken, Meditite, Makuhita (kinda), Poliwrath, Hitmonlee, and Hitmonchan.
So my theory is quite possible, and I think it has happened before too.
That’s a good theory my theory is if they did not release Shiny Rayquaza just to see if the community will still come out and spend money on a good Pokemon
