As part of the final Ultra Unlock event from GO Fest 2021, Pokemon originally discovered in the Galar region will be making their debut!
The Galar region is featured in the mainline titles Pokémon Sword and Shield on the Nintendo Switch.
Story-wise, it appears like Hoopa has been a bit mischevous. It has opened up portals that has brought various Galarian Pokemon with it!
This event even includes the two Legendaries Zacian and Zamazenta! Alongside them are Swkovet, Greedent, Wooloo, Dubwool, and Falinks.
It’ll also be possible to find Shiny variants for the Galarian Forms of Meowth, Farfetch’d, Weezing and Stunfisk.
Here is a full list of event features:
- Skwovet and Wooloo will be appearing more frequently in the wild! You can also look forward to finding Galarian Darumaka, Trubbish, and more! If you’re lucky, you might encounter Falinks!
- The following Pokémon will be hatching from 7 km Eggs: Galarian Meowth, Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Slowpoke, Galarian Farfetch’d, Galarian Zigzagoon, Galarian Darumaka, and Galarian Stunfisk.
- If you’re lucky, you might encounter a Shiny Galarian Meowth, Shiny Galarian Farfetch’d, Shiny Galarian Weezing, or Shiny Galarian Stunfisk! See below for when some of these Pokémon will be appearing in raids during the event.
