Pokémon GO's "Inbound from Ultra Space" event: A five-day Ultra Beast extravaganza!
Get ready for a week of intense raiding as Pokémon GO announces its "Inbound from Ultra Space" event, running from July 8th to 13th, 2024. This five-day event brings back a host of Ultra Beasts, but with a twist – regional exclusivity!

- Western Hemisphere: Blacephalon
- Southern Hemisphere: Celesteela
