Pokémon GO's "Inbound from Ultra Space" event brings back Ultra Beasts! This five-day extravaganza, running from July 8th to 13th, 2024 (10 AM local time), features nine Ultra Beasts in five-star raids. However, geographic limitations apply; several Ultra Beasts are region-exclusive. For example, Xurkitree appears in the Asia-Pacific region, Pheromosa in EMEA and India, Buzzwole in the Americas and Greenland, Stakataka in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Blacephalon in the Western Hemisphere. Celesteela is exclusive to the Southern Hemisphere, with Kartana appearing in the Northern Hemisphere.
Timed Research quests offer encounters with all featured Ultra Beasts, but only Stakataka and Blacephalon boast special Pokédex backgrounds. New event-themed backgrounds are also available from raids and wild catches. Regional exclusivity mirrors recent Ultra Beast introductions. Bonuses include a boosted daily Remote Raid Pass limit (20, increased to unlimited from July 12th-14th) and guaranteed Candy XL from trades (for Trainers level 31+).
