The annual GO Fest activities have come to a close, but that doesn't mean it's time for the celebrations to completely stop. Pokemon GO trainers managed to complete every challenge needed to unlock all three Ultra Unlock rewards during last weekend's event, which means the next month of gameplay is going to include events focused around Time, Space, and a Mystery...
The first Ultra Unlock reward to arrive in Pokemon GO will be the Time bonuses. These activities are scheduled to kick off on July 23 and trainers will have until August 3 to take advantage of all the special spawns, raids, and activities associated with the reward before the event concludes and is followed by the Space Ultra Unlock bonuses in early to mid-August.
The Time event features some brand new Shiny Pokemon, which should be very exciting news for any players out there who are chasing that ever elusive Shiny Dex completion. Even if players aren't all about collecting, shiny Pokemon, there are still some great features to take advantage of while this event is live. Both the Battle Raids and the increased wild spawns include some Pokemon that are definitely relevant to the PoGO PvE and PvP meta game scenes.
Legendary Raids (Dialga)
Dialga, the Legendary Temporal Pokémon, will be appearing in five-star raids through August 6, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Lucky Trainers may even encounter a Shiny Dialga!
1 and 3 Star Raid Bosses
Additionally, Trainers can encounter Unown U, Cranidos, Shieldon, Bronzor, and Klink in one-star raids.
Aerodactyl, Porygon2, and Golurk will be appearing in three-star raids.
Timed and Field Research
Complete Timed Research and themed Field Research throughout the event for reward encounters with Pokémon from the past and future.
Increased Wild Spawns
Throughout this time-traveling gala, the following Pokémon will be appearing more frequently in the wild: Voltorb, Porygon, Omanyte, Kabuto, Baltoy, Cranidos, Shieldon, and more.
7km Egg Hatches
Pokémon hatching from 7 km Eggs during Part 1 of the Ultra Unlock event include: Omanyte, Kabuto, Aerodactyl, Lileep, Anorith, Cranidos, and Shieldon.
New Shiny Pokemon Appearances
In addition to potentially encountering a Shiny Dialga, truly lucky Trainers might encounter a Shiny Unown U, a Shiny Cranidos, or a Shiny Shieldon.
At this point that's everything that is known about the upcoming Time Ultra Unlock event, but there will definitely be full lists of Timed and Field Research tasks and rewards coming as the event gets closer. Players should be sure to check back to find out what is required for those and what sort of rewards are up for grabs throughout the event window.
In the coming weeks, we should learn more about what other events will be arriving during the rest of the Season of Discovery. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
