Step back in time with the Hisuian Discoveries event

Trainers,

Seek out all Pokémon.

We can’t explain it, but somehow, more Pokémon originally discovered in the Hisui region are set to debut in Pokémon GO!

And even more surprises may be in store. Perhaps working together during Pokémon GO Fest: Seattle is the key to unlocking something?

UPDATE: Trainers, your fighting spirit has rippled through time and space! Through your determination and grit, you’ve awakened Ultra Unlock bonuses. Tons of treats and a Pokémon debut await during Ultra Unlock: Hisuian Discoveries and Ultra Unlock: Hisuian Discoveries Raid Day!
