Lugia and Articuno have made their way into the game so far, with more legendary Pokémon coming soon, and they’re both affected by this bug. As you can see from the screens from Japanese player sumika920, Instead of the powerful Psychic/Flying-type we’re used to, we’re treated to a bootleg imitation.

What’s going on with legendaries in Pokémon Go? Niantic hasn’t said yet, but one thing is for sure: with time running out to catch these two, this glitch is going to cause a panic for many a trainer.
