Prepare for an extraordinary celebration in the Pokémon Go Inbound from Ultra Space event. This event unleashes the elite Ultra Beasts creatures from a parallel dimension, making them some of the rarest to catch. These unique Pokémon cannot be found in the wild or through egg hatching, adding to their exclusivity and the thrill of the hunt. To ensure you’re ready for these battles, here’s what you need to know about the Inbound from Ultra Space event in Pokémon Go.
Pokémon Go Inbound from Ultra Space event guide
The Inbound from Ultra Space Raid events are set to run from July 8 at 10 a.m. to July 13, 2024, 10 a.m. local time. Be ready for the latest lineup of 5-Star Raids, including a Raid Hour from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.
Pokémon Go Ultra Beast Raid schedule
| Ultra Beasts | Locations | Raid Dates |
|---|---|---|
| Guzzlord | Available globally | July 8 |
| Nihilego | Available globally | July 9 |
| Celesteela | Southern Hemisphere | July 10 |
| Kartana | Northern Hemisphere | July 10 |
| Stakataka | Eastern Hemisphere | July 11 |

| Buzzwole | The Americas and Greenland | July 12 |

For those who are up for the challenge, successful battles will grant you the opportunity to obtain the Ultra Beast. As a testament to your achievement, you can earn Special Backgrounds for these creatures, marking the specific area where you caught them. Plus, they are just plain nice to look at, thanks to their vibrant colorful design.
Most 5-Star Raids may include Shiny variants; however, Stakataka and Blacephalon are the only ones who don’t have them yet. Due to their low spawn rates, you’ll likely need to participate in several battles to unlock any Shinies.
Timed Research encounters and global challenge
Multiple Ultra Beasts will be a part of the event’s Raid-themed Timed Research. This includes the following Pokémon:
- Nihilego
- Buzzwole
- Pheromosa
- Xurikitree
- Celesteela
- Kartana
- Guzzlord
- Stakataka
- Blacephalon
If you want access to the event-exclusive Timed Research, purchase a $5 ticket in-game from July 8 at 10 a.m. to July 14 at 6 p.m. Completing these tasks will also earn you rewards, such as Stardust, Ultra Beast Candy XL, and a Star Piece. However, you must claim them before July 4 at 8 p.m., as they will expire.
Aside from the individual challenges, a Global Challenge awaits all players. This is a chance to unite with fellow trainers and work together to complete this adventure. In return for your collective efforts, each player will receive a Beast Ball when encountering an Ultra Beast during the Pokémon Go Fest 2024.
