Trivia

 * The official blog made an announcement of shiny Aron, which is typically done for new-released Shiny Pokémon. However, shiny Aron had already been available together with its release in January 2018.
 * During the Pokémon Spotlight Hour of this event, Trainers in the time zones GMT +11 to +14 did not receive Meteor Mash and Hurricane for Metagross and Rayquaza respectively. Niantic had acknowledged this glitch and gave Elite Charged TM to affected Trainers.
