Ultra Unlock 2: Enigma Week

Immediately after Dragon Week ends, the second Ultra Unlock event, Enigma Week, will kick off. This event revolves around mysterious, otherworldly Pokemon, so the following monsters will be appearing in the wild more frequently than normal:

  • Clefairy
  • Lunatone
  • Solrock
  • Baltoy

The Mythical Deoxys will also return to Raids for the event, and you'll have a chance to catch Shiny Normal Forme Deoxys and Shiny Staryu.

Ultra Unlock 3: Unova Week

  • August 14 (1 PM PT) - August 21 (1 PM PT)

The final Ultra Unlock event focuses on Pokemon from the Unova region, the setting of the series' fifth-gen games, Pokemon Black and White. Throughout the week, you'll be more likely to find Sewaddle, Cottonee, Emolga, and other Gen 5 Pokemon in the wild. Bouffalant will appear as well; the bison Pokemon will spawn throughout the event in New York City and the surrounding areas.

On top of that, the Mythical Pokemon Genesect--which was previously exclusive to EX Raids--will be featured as a five-star Raid boss. You'll also have a chance to catch Shiny versions of Genesect and Roggenrola during Unova Week. You can read more about the Ultra Unlock events on Pokemon Go's website.
