Pokémon GO's "Inbound from Ultra Space" event brings back Ultra Beasts! This five-day extravaganza, running July 8th-13th, 2024, features the return of nine Ultra Beasts in five-star raids. However, prepare for a global adventure, as many of these powerful Pokémon are region-exclusive.
Ultra Beasts, originating from another dimension in Pokémon lore, were first introduced in Generation VII games. Their appearances in Pokémon GO have been limited-time events, starting with Nihilego in June 2022. This new event continues that tradition.
Regional Exclusives: Catch 'em all will require some travel. Xurkitree will be in the Asia-Pacific region, Pheromosa in EMEA and India, Buzzwole in the Americas and Greenland, Stakataka in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Blacephalon in the Western Hemisphere. Celesteela appears in the Southern Hemisphere, with Kartana gracing the Northern Hemisphere.
Timed Research and Rewards: Timed Research quests will award encounters with all featured Ultra Beasts. Stakataka and Blacephalon earned through these quests boast special Pokédex backgrounds. New backgrounds are also obtainable from raids and wild catches.
Event Bonuses: Enjoy an increased daily Remote Raid Pass limit (20, then unlimited from July 12th-14th), and guaranteed Candy XL for trades (Trainers level 31+).
Raid Schedule:
- July 8th: Guzzlord
- July 9th: Nihilego
