Pokemon Go Ultra Beast Arrival Global Event: Everything You Need to Know

As spotted by Serebii.net, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, revealed details about an “Ultra Beast Arrival: Global” event that’s coming soon to Pokemon Go.

The Ultra Beast Arrival: Global event will take place on November 27, 2022 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. local time.

During this event, different Ultra Beasts will appear in Tier-5 Raids around the world. Here’s the breakdown:

• Americas – Nihilego, Buzzwole, and Guzzlord
• Asia-Pacific – Nihilego, Xurkitree, and Guzzlord
• Europe – Nihilego, Pheromosa, and Guzzlord
• Northern Hemisphere – Kartana
• Southern Hemisphere – Celesteela

After players defeat an Ultra Beast in a Raid Battle during this event, Machoke, Scyther, Magmar, Gulpin, Absol, Minccino, Frillish, and Dedenne will have the chance to appear around the Gym that hosted the Raid for a limited time. Specifically, on the Pokemon Go website, Niantic said these Pokemon will appear “for a short duration.”

Niantic also said, “Minccino that appear under these circumstances will have an increased chance of being Shiny.”

Players will be able to complete Timed Research tasks during this event to earn encounters with Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Guzzlord, Celesteela, and Kartana.

Three in-game bonuses will be active during this event:

• Players will receive 1.25 times the normal number of experience points when winning Raid Battles against Ultra Beasts
• Players will have an increased chance of receiving Rare Candy XL when completing in-person Raid Battles
• Players can collect up to five extra Raid Passes from Gyms during this event and during the two hours immediately following it

Finally, from now until November 26, 2022, players will be able to work together to unlock additional bonuses that will be active during the Ultra Beast Arrival: Global event. Players will be able to unlock these bonuses by referring other people to play Pokemon Go.

The Pokemon Go website detailed the two bonuses that will be available to unlock:

• “50,000 Trainers referred: all Trainers will receive a Lure Module via a bundle in the in-game shop.
• 100,000 Trainers referred: all Trainers will be able to use Beast Balls when facing Ultra Beasts during Ultra Beast Arrival: Global.”
