Pokémon GO celebrates the GO Fest 2022 next weekend. There is a new announcement on how you can unlock the Hyper Bonuses this year.
What is a Hyper Bonus? The Hyper Bonuses have established themselves as a fixed part of the Pokémon GO Fest over the past years.
Recently, all trainers around the world had to complete several challenges in the game during the GO Fest together. This happened in three stages. For each stage, there was a “Hyper Bonus”.
The bonuses were separate events that were unlocked and then took place after the respective GO Fest. The third bonus of the last GO Fest, for example, brought the debut of the legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta.
This time, however, things will be a bit different.
You cannot unlock all Hyper Bonuses at once
How to unlock the Hyper Bonuses? As the Pokémon GO team officially announced, there will also be Hyper Bonuses at the upcoming GO Fest events. However, you will need to keep track of several dates – and not just the global GO Fest 2022 taking place this weekend.
Because this year there are multiple GO Fest events, the game also takes multiple opportunities to challenge you.
What else is changing? This time, the Hyper Bonuses will apparently not be “own” events as in the past, but will improve events of the upcoming Season of GO.
- The first Hyper Bonus can be unlocked at the global GO Fest on June 4 and 5, 2022. To do this, trainers must complete a total of at least 20 global challenges. The bonus will then enhance Adventure Week from June 7 to June 12.
- The second Hyper Bonus can be unlocked during the GO Fest Berlin, from July 1 to July 3. It is supposed to enhance the Pokémon GO birthday event.
- Hyper Bonus 3 can be unlocked at the GO Fest Seattle, which runs from July 22 to July 24. The event that will be boosted by the bonus is still unknown.
- There is also a fourth Hyper Bonus that can be unlocked at the GO Fest Sapporo, running from August 5 to August 7, 2022. Again, it is not yet known which event the bonus will enhance.
Important: At the three events in Berlin, Seattle, and Sapporo, although they are “on-site GO Fests”, you can still help unlock the Hyper Bonus – even if you’re not there. The Hyper Bonuses are all to be unlocked through global challenges.
The GO Fest is indeed the biggest, but not the only event in the upcoming weeks. To learn more about what else is ahead, check our overview of all Pokémon GO events in June 2022.
