Ultra Unlock begins as a series of post–GO Fest 2025: Global Events in Pokémon GO. The first of these events focuses on Hisui, a region lost to time that has become the modern-day Sinnoh region. Let's get into the details.
Here's what's happening for the Ultra Unlock: Hisui Celebration event in Pokémon GO:
- Date and time: Tuesday, July 8, at 10:00 a.m. to Sunday, July 13, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. local time
- New Pokémon: Hisuian Zorua will be released for the first time. Using 50 Zorua Candy, it can be evolved to Hisuian Zoroark. Hisuian Zorua is known as the Spiteful Fox Pokémon.
