Get ready, Pokémon Go enthusiasts! The legendary giants are awakening, and the Ancients Recovered event is your ticket to an unforgettable adventure. Kicking off on June 23rd, this week-long event, leading up to Go Fest: Global, is the perfect opportunity to rally your raid teams and dive into the world of these majestic titans.
Each day of the event will feature a different one of the six legendary giants in five-star raids, starting from Regirock and culminating in a grand reunion on June 27th with Regigigas. These aren't mere reruns; catch these giants during the event, and they'll come with powerful signature attacks like Zap Cannon on Registeel and Thunder Cage on Regieleki, enhancing your team's prowess.
For those seeking a true test of skill, Max Battles await with the fully Gigantamaxed Galar starters, Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon, challenging you in six-star arenas. And if you're after more than just raid trophies, engage in the Timed Research, which offers repeatable tasks focused on the legendary giants. Complete it, and you'll unlock a surprise choice that adds an extra layer of excitement to your journey.
For an enhanced experience, consider purchasing the Fleeting Legends Ticket for $7.99. This premium path includes a Timed Research leading to an encounter with your choice of Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres. It's a one-time bird hunt with a guaranteed reward, making it a worthwhile investment for serious trainers.
Don’t miss out on the Global Challenge from June 22nd to 27th, where trainers worldwide can contribute to unlocking global bonuses such as stronger Premier Balls and faster Party Power charging, which will last through Go Fest. Every raid you participate in can make a difference.
Keep an eye out for lucky catches during raids, as they might come with new Pokémon Backgrounds. These visual souvenirs, similar to Location Backgrounds from in-person festivals, don't affect gameplay but add a unique flair to your collection.
Lastly, be sure to check out the Pokémon Go Web Store, which offers new battle pass bundles and a comprehensive $99.99 raid-and-hatch box designed for the most dedicated trainers.
