Pokémon GO Fest 2021 is now over, but thanks to the ticket holders around the world completing at least 24 global challenges, three bonus events have been unlocked. These three Ultra Unlock events are available to all players and today the official Pokémon GO blog published details for the first two events – Part 1: Time and Part 2: Space – yet being quite vague on Part 3.
Get ready to celebrate Sinnoh legendaries Dialga and Palkia by finding them in 5-star raids, spot Unown U in 1-star raids, Heracross breaking out of its regional exclusive temporarily into 3-star raids, and more! Check out the full details for the first two parts below.
