Field Research bonanza
On Saturday, August 26, Trainers will be able to collect new Field Research tasks from PokéStops each hour from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time!
Ready for Raid Battles!
Trainers around the world can now start Raid Battles more quickly by using the Ready button! Just tap the button in the raid lobby when you’re ready to start. When all Trainers have indicated that they’re ready, the lobby timer will count down from 10 seconds. The Ready button will appear when there are at least two Trainers in the lobby. If a raid reaches full capacity—20 Trainers—the timer will be reduced to a 10-second countdown so everyone can get to the Raid Boss more quickly!
We hope this enables Trainers to take on more of their favorite Raid Bosses!
Ultra Unlock
During each habitat hour on Saturday, ticket-holding Trainers around the world will be able to work together to complete a Global Challenge! If the challenge is completed in time, a special bonus will be unlocked for the remainder of the hour for ticket-holding Trainers.
Plus, if Trainers complete 20 challenges successfully, they will activate this year’s Pokémon GO Fest Ultra Unlock bonuses!

Ultra Unlock: A ??? Adventure
And if Trainers complete a total of 20 Global Challenges, they’ll unlock additional bonuses for the duration of the event. Stay tuned for more details after Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global!
