Today, on August 27, 2023, the second day of the global Pokémon GO Fest 2023 is underway. We summarize what content is coming next here.
This is the GO Fest: On Saturday, August 26, the global GO Fest with Day 1 started. There was, among other things, special research with Diancie and hourly rotating habitats full of spawns.
Now the second day of the GO Fest 2023 is still ahead.
When does Day 2 start? The second day takes place today, August 27, starting again at 10:00 AM and running until 6:00 PM. What can you expect? We will show you here.
GO Fest 2023: Day 2 comes with Mega-Rayquaza as the highlight
This is what Day 2 brings: For many players, the appearance of Mega-Rayquaza is likely to be the highlight. The legendary dragon will be featured in Mega Raids and is somewhat of the boss opponent this weekend.
Surrounding Rayquaza, you will receive a special research on Sunday, which will earn you the crucial item “Meteorite”. This is required to teach Rayquaza the move “Zenith Strike”, which in turn is a prerequisite for the mega evolution of the monster.
This special research should also be available to players without a ticket for the GO Fest 2023. If you have purchased a ticket, the research will be expanded to include an additional meteorite. This means you can teach two Rayquaza the move.
In addition, you will need Mega Energy for Rayquaza. This can be obtained from Mega Raids. We will show you the best counters against Rayquaza here. With a ticket, you will again receive up to 9 Raid Passes on that day if you spin the photo discs at the gyms.
You can find all tasks and rewards for the special researches with Rayquaza here.
What else is happening on Day 2? Unlike Day 1, there will be no rotating habitats. Instead, the event spawns will be distributed throughout the day, but without specific divisions. You still have the opportunity to catch some of the most exciting monsters of the GO Fest.
In the raids, you will also continue to find Pokémon like Rocara or the Snorlax with cowboy hat.
Whether there are further bonuses or surprises on Sunday remains to be seen. We will keep you updated again in the live ticker from the event start.
