In a surprise curveball from Niantic, the Legendary Lake Trio Pokémon Azelf, Uxie, and Mesprit have been released in Pokémon GO. Unlike every other non-Mythical Legendary released so far, they are not (yet) Raid Bosses but instead found in the wild!
Various pieces of proof have been found, such as the above video. The official Pokémon GO Twitter account made a hint towards this as well.
Hmm. We’ve been hearing reports of unidentified Pokémon.

While not yet confirmed, it appears they may be regional with Uxie appearing in Asia-Pacific regions, and Azelf in the Americas. No report about Mesprit (assumably to be assigned to the Europe/Africa region) has been made yet. It is also unsure if they will ever become a Raid Boss.
Their spawn rates are rare. Game data for these Pokémon suggest a flee rate of 4%, and a base catch rate of 2%. As such, if you are lucky enough to encounter one, we strongly recommend using any Golden Razz Berries and an Ultra Ball with curveball!
Thanks to Castform for the tip.
