From May 23 to 28 at 8pm local time, the Pokémon Go Ultra Space Wonders event introduces Naganadel, Stakataka, and Blacephalon. Multiple other rare Pokémon will also be appearing more frequently in the wild, with a specific focus on Mareanie as it gets its Shiny variant. And, so you don’t forget about the other cool goodies like the Collection Challenges and Research, here’s the full event guide for Ultra Space Wonders.

Running from May 23 to 28, the Pokémon Go Ultra Space Wonders event is full of content at every level. The event bonuses are a bit light, but the focus here is on the sheer volume of rare Pokémon you can encounter at an increased rate. 

The introduction of Naganadel, Stakataka, and Blacephalon is key, especially with the latter two being exclusive to the Eastern and Western Hemisphere respectively. But there’s also a nice lineup of boosted raid and wild spawns that will help flesh out the event alongside a trio of Collection Challenges.

Don’t forget about all the Ultra Space Wonders Timed Research either.
