Gen 3 Legendary Groudon is now leaving Gyms, with no set date for its return.
Pokemon Go news this week has mainly dominated by the launch of Kyorgre and the announcement of the new Community Days coming to the game.
Groudon has been available to battle in Pokemon Raids since December and will no longer be available from 9pm, GMT.
Niantic have not made any announcements suggesting their going to be extending the period of Groudon’s launch, with no information on when it might return.
The Kyogre event, meanwhile, will carry on until February 14, ending at a similar time.

Something you might not know is that the Pokemon Company like to post official guides on how to counter the strength of the latest Pocket Monsters launched in-game.
For instance, being a Water-type Pokemon, Kyogre is weak only against Electric- and Grass-type attacks.
“Its sole Fast Attack—Waterfall—is a Water-type attack, while its Charged Attack may be an Electric-type Thunder, Ice-type Blizzard, or Water-type Hydro Pump,” the Pokemon Company explain.
“Electric-type Pokémon are reliable choices regardless of Kyogre’s moves. Their Electric-type attacks will deal supereffective damage to Kyogre, while none of Kyogre’s attacks are super effective in return.
“Raikou will be the most effective Electric-type Pokémon by far, with Zapdos and Jolteon trailing afterward.”
It should also be noted that Grass-type Pokémon resist Water-type attacks, so they might be your top performers against a Kyogre that knows Hydro Pump.
And when it comes to countering Kyogre, the Pokemon Company suggests bringing in a Ho-Oh or Gen 3 Groudon for good measure.
“Since Kyogre only has two weaknesses, you may need to find a few more Pokémon to fill out a party with high CP Pokémon. Keep Kyogre’s attacks in mind. A Kyogre that knows Thunder will have a hard time matching up against a Groudon that knows Solar Beam,” they add.
“On the other hand, a Kyogre that knows Blizzard gives you an opening to counter with your own Solar Beam wielder in Ho-Oh.
“Dragonite can be deployed against a Kyogre that knows only Water-type attacks—and don’t forget about Mewtwo for quick bursts of damage, if you’re fortunate enough to have caught one.”
Kyogre will become even more powerful if rain is falling on the battlefield, although it should be noted that Electric-type attacks will also be amplified during rainfall, which could help in strategy planning.
