Date + Time

Friday, August 20, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, August 31, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. local time

Skwovet and Wooloo will be appearing more frequently in the wild! You can also look forward to finding Galarian Darumaka, Trubbish, and more! If you're lucky, you might encounter Falinks!

Skwovet, Wooloo, and Falinks are all brand-new species from the Galar region appearing today in Pokémon GO for the very first time. Not listed here is, though, is that both Skwovet and Wooloo will be the subject of the next two Tuesday Spotlight Hours respectively.

The following Pokémon will be hatching from 7 km Eggs: Galarian Meowth, Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Slowpoke, Galarian Farfetch'd, Galarian Zigzagoon, Galarian Darumaka, and Galarian Stunfisk.

If you're lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Galarian Meowth, Shiny Galarian Farfetch'd, Shiny Galarian Weezing, or Shiny Galarian Stunfisk!

This is far and away the best set of Eggs we've had all Ultra Unlock 2021. I remember back in 2019 when this event was called Ultra Bonus, and I was walking to my Egg capacity every day in attempt to get a Shiny regional Pokémon. I ended up hatching every possible Egg I could during the event and ended up with a Shiny Mr. Mime. Those are some good times right there. Some damn good times!

Complete event-exclusive Timed Research for a chance to encounter Pokémon first discovered in the Galar region!

Stay tuned to Bleeding Cool for a breakdown of the tasks and rewards available from this event's Timed Research.

Get themed Field Research tasks from PokéStops. If you complete Field Research, you may encounter Skwovet, Wooloo, or Falinks.

Best of luck out there, fellow Pokémon trainers!
