There are plenty of things that fans want to see in "Pokémon GO," one of which are the Legendary creatures. Apparently, Niantic has been shadowy when it comes to revealing details about these Pokémon. There are reports, however, that these pocket monsters could arrive sometime in the summer.

According to Birmingham Mail, the studio's strategy of releasing exciting events have always kept the momentum of "Pokémon GO" afloat. Interestingly, this could exactly be the move they will take in unleashing the Legendary Pokémon. It is believed that these creatures will arrive during the first anniversary of the game.

To make things even more interesting, the aforementioned beasts will be introduced via a special summer event as part of the game's first birthday celebrations. Speculations about it surfaced soon after the Easter Event came to a conclusion.

Apart from the Legendary monsters, the studio is also believed to unleash a highly anticipated "Pokémon GO" feature — the player-versus-player (PvP) system, which basically involves two players battling each other using their respective Pokémon. There are also talks about other features such as co-operative raids and player trading coming to the hit mobile game.

It is worth noting that although Niantic has somehow shed some light on the existence of the Legendary creatures, their release still remains unknown. The developers did promise, however, that they intend to unleash these monsters this year. But until that day arrives, all of these are mere speculations.

In related "Pokémon GO" news, Daily Star reports that the company has released yet another anti-spoofing feature to eradicate the issue. Spoofing is when players tend to have their GPS jump to a certain locale in order to capture a specific Pokémon. Once they do so, the GPS tends to go back to the original point just in time for the creature to be caught.
