The limited-time introduction of legendary Pokemon has seen Pokemon Go players spend the most money in a single day outside of the game's launch period.
Sensor Tower's revenue data shows that around the globe Pokemon Go players put down about $5.8 million on July 23rd, the day after long-awaited legendary Pokemon Articuno and Lugia became available to catch.
This took place as part of the Chicago Pokemon Go festival which experienced connectivity problems that saw developer Niantic offer apologies and refunds to attendees as well as add delays to planned European events.
Despite these problems leading some players to sue Niantic, Pokemon Go is currently the top-grossing app in 23 countries, which include U.S., Canada, and the UK. With more legendary releases to come in the form of Moltres and Zapdos, Niantic will likely hold the top spot.
If you're on the hunt for a Moltres as raids begin, we have just the guide to help you nab your next legendary.
