Players of Pokemon Go in Italy recently noticed that, despite concerns about the corona virus, the attack is still ongoing, despite national regulations to stay indoors. As a result, they discovered a way to play Pokemon Go at home without having to collect Raid rewards first.
This phenomenon is not limited to Italy. Until Niantic recently announced the cancellation of Raid Hour until further notice is posted on the Pokemon Go live update website, Cobalion raids are still appearing in Japan, South Korea and other countries.

Niantic also announced that they will work hard to cultivate a Pokemon Go experience that can be enjoyed at home on Twitter, with special mention of the special research story event "A Drive to Investigate", which is designed to be played without group games. You can view the following tweets.

Still, the Italian players are eager to find a way to maneuver to complete the now-defunct raid. The keen players came to Reddit to express their concerns that they wanted to capture the rare Pokémon cobalt blue without compromising safety or breaking new rules set to curb the spread of COVID-19 (commonly known as coronavirus) .

These responses are thoughtful, measured, and based on reality. There are other ways to get Cobalion without risking the health of you or others, and if not, these opportunities will reappear.
In fact, another article outlines that although Thundurus is currently the only potential Pokémon legendary Pokemon to appear in GBL (Go Battle League) rewards, players often encounter Cobalion-and even a high sparkle opportunity.

On this basis, Cobalion's capture rate has recently increased from 2% to 4%.

And it has a chance to know the holy sword.
As Niantic invests more resources to make Pokemon Go playable at home, and players can share information on how to make the most of Pokemon Go without leaving home, avid Pokemon Go players can still play and Participate in their favorite game to attack or destroy the battle with COVD-19.
So if you're thinking about raids, think twice-join the Go Battle League at home and you still get the latest raid rewards. If it fails, perform a new stationary "special research" mission, or don't play at all. Niantic is making sure there is no benefit going out, so do the right thing and then play Pokemon Go at home.
