In Pokémon GO the Ultra Bonus will soon be unlocked, bringing Mewtwo and more legendary and regional monsters in eggs.
What’s new? Niantic has finally announced how the Ultra Bonus will affect Pokémon GO. And it’s extremely generous, helping trainers with regional Pokémon, legendary monsters, and more.
Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres as Shinies
When will the legendary Pokémon arrive? Starting September 13 at 10:00 PM, you can encounter the three legendary birds Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres again in Pokémon GO gyms.
How long will they stay? They will remain in the game for one week, until September 20 at 10:00 PM.
Even as Shiny: If you’re lucky, you can catch these three legendary birds in their shiny forms. So, be sure to participate in the raids and battle the bosses together. Those who had no luck on the last Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres days will now have another chance to catch these rare monsters.
More Kanto spawns: Additionally, Pokémon from the Kanto region will appear more frequently worldwide and in raids until September 30.
Mewtwo comes for all
What’s new? Until now, only trainers who received an EX Raid invitation could battle Mewtwo. But this is changing now. As many players suspected, the Ultra Bonus is related to Mewtwo. It will be made available to all trainers in raid battles for a limited time.
What does that mean? Every trainer can battle and catch Mewtwo for a short period. The condition is that the trainer can participate in raids in Pokémon GO.
How long will Mewtwo stay? Mewtwo will be unlocked in raid battles on September 20 at 10:00 PM. It will remain until October 23. Make sure to take advantage of this opportunity and secure the monster for your collection.
Tauros, Mr. Mime, Kangaskhan – Regional monsters from eggs
What’s new? Regional Pokémon were originally only found in specific parts of the world in the wild. With the Ultra Bonus, some of the regional monsters will appear from 7KM eggs.
Which monsters? Mr. Mime, Kangaskhan, Tauros, and Snorlax will be available in the 7KM eggs in Pokémon GO until the end of September, in addition to the Alolan monsters.
How do I get them? Send many gifts to your friends so you can receive the 7KM eggs and hatch the special regional monsters. This feature will likely go live on September 13 at 10:00 PM. Keep in mind that only the eggs you receive after the event starts will count.
Summary of the events:
- Pokémon from the Kanto region will appear more frequently from September 13 to 30.
- Regional Pokémon will hatch from regional eggs, available starting September 13 at 10:00 PM (start of this event is uncertain).
- Raid battles with Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will start from September 13 and will be active until September 20.
- Chance to catch shiny variants of the 3 birds.
- Mewtwo will be available as a boss in the raids from September 20 without an EX Raid invitation. The monster will remain in the raids of Pokémon GO until October 23.
