Bonuses and Features of the Ultra Beast Arrival Event in Pokemon GO

Trainers of Pokemon GO can prepare for the Ultra Beasts Arrival with this breakdown of all the upcoming bonuses, features, and raids.

In Pokemon GO, the early winter season is about to be revealed, but the remaining fall events will continue to play out over the next few weeks. The Astral Eclipse begins later this week with some exciting new debuts, and it won’t be long before players are also racing to battle Ultra Beasts.

Ultra Beasts are returning to Pokemon GO during the final days of November as part of an event with numerous exciting bonuses and features. The Ultra Beasts Arrival activities begin on November 27, and players will need to act swiftly to encounter and capture as many of them as possible during the six-hour event.

During the one-day event, there will be a great deal to monitor. Various Battle Raids will appear based on location, and players will have access to numerous individual and group bonuses while the activities are active. With five free Raid Passes up for grabs, it should come as no surprise that the day’s primary focus will be on battling Ultra Beasts in Legendary Raids…

Date and Time of Ultra Beast Arrival Sunday, November 27, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time
