Ultra Beasts Set for Return in Pokémon GO in July

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!

Ultra Beasts Return, but Location Matters

Nine Ultra Beasts will reappear in five-star raids. However, securing them all requires global travel, as many are region-locked:

• Eastern Hemisphere: Stakataka
• Western Hemisphere: Blacephalon
• Southern Hemisphere: Celesteela
• Northern Hemisphere: Kartana

Timed Research offers another path to capture these powerful Pokémon, with Stakataka and Blacephalon boasting special Pokédex entries. New event-themed backgrounds will also be available through raids and wild catches.

Event Bonuses & Raid Passes
