Ultra Beasts Return to Pokémon GO in July

Pokémon GO's "Inbound from Ultra Space" event brings back Ultra Beasts! This five-day extravaganza, running from July 8th to 13th (10 AM local time), features nine Ultra Beasts in five-star raids. However, geographical limitations apply – several Ultra Beasts are regional exclusives. Asia-Pacific gets Xurkitree, EMEA and India get Pheromosa, the Americas and Greenland have Buzzwole, Stakataka is in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Blacephalon in the West.

New backgrounds are also obtainable from raids and wild catches. The event includes increased daily Remote Raid Pass limits (20 until July 11th, unlimited from July 12th-14th) and guaranteed Candy XL for trades (Trainers level 31+).
