The Ultra Unlock rewards are well underway in Pokemon GO and the third and final reward event is finally a little less shrouded in mystery. The big reveal has arrived and trainers now know that the Time and Space events are going to be followed by a Galar Region festivity!
The Pokemon GO Galar Region Ultra Unlock Reward definitely came as a major surprise for a lot of players and is bringing some very exciting rewards and opportunities along in a few weeks when it arrives. The biggest headline of the reward event is going to be the debut of some generation eight Pokemon who will be brand new to the mobile AR experience.
Pokemon GO has featured some Galarian form Pokemon for more than a year at this point, but this event is taking things to the next level with the addition of Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield's iconinc Legendary pair - Zacian and Zamazenta. The titular sword and shield Pokemon are each going to be featured in Legendary Battle Raids for a week during the upcoming event...
