Global & Japan Legend Release Dates

[u/FateOfMuffins]

So I did the JP release dates awhile back before 6th Anni. I updated them plus added in Global release dates as well. They should be reasonably accurate, maybe 1-2 days off due to timezones + some old 6+ dates were kind of hard to get.

You can access the full list here

Of course most of you don't really like numbers so here are some pictures instead:

Global Japan Release Gap

Release Gap if we exclude Global firsts (since a big aspect of this is to figure out when JP content arrives on Global)

And then if we get rid of superevolutions on top of that (only new releases

So interestingly enough, up until approximately January 2018, the release dates for Global was all over the place!!! Release orders were swapped like no tomorrow and you couldn't really predict what was gonna happen next.

Then for most of 2018, Global lagged behind by approximately 5 months, with some 4 months and some 7 months at the end. For most of 2019, Global lagged behind by approximately 6 months, with some 5 and 7 month lags as well. Release dates were fairly standard in these 2 years, however units can and have been swapped around before

For 2020, it's been almost entirely a very nice exact 5 month lag, with releases generally hovering around 148 to 153 days after the JP release.

With this data, we can make some predictions on Global release dates!

Caution:

• 100%, just like years of old, they will be doing something that will change up these predicted dates.

• Look at WCI and Kaido vs BM release dates, and then look at HW batch release dates.

• Either a batch will be swapped around OR (there are rumors) New Years may be a simultaneous release which would fix up the schedule entirely.

Anyways, there's always a lot of questions asking when units will arrive on Global, so here's an answer. Again I would like to remind everyone that these are predictions based on recent data and are not set in stone.

Made up my mind, im only pulling on Kaido vs Big Mom banner. the rest of the legend doesnt interest me much.

I was a dolphin, spent 2-3k usd in the game already, decided to go f2p from now on.

I wanna see my f2p gems went up to 1480 gems to pull guaranteed KaidoXBigmom. Thanks for the target date.
