Pokemon GO Pinsir Raid Cancelled
Pokemon GO released a statement yesterday that the Pinsir raid day is cancelled.
In the official statement, Pokemon GO gave a very quick and direct statement. It reads "Pinsir Raid Day: This event has been canceled."
There could be a few reasons for this sudden change.
- There was an error in the game's preparation for the event.
- The Pokemon's lower level of popularity compared to other bug-type Pokemon.
- Niantic was going to release the raid as an introduction to Mega Evolution. Mega Pinsir would be powerful, but the developers are yet to complete their preparations or mechanics.
Fans await more information on the Pinsir raid.
