The Pokémon GO team has announced a special raid event for Trainers in Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, as compensation for a technical issue that prevented players from joining Raid Battles during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global. The event will take place on Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, featuring a variety of Pokémon and raid bosses, including Mega Mewtwo Y Super Mega Raids. This event is a great opportunity for players to catch up on missed raids and earn additional rewards, such as free Raid Passes, Special Backgrounds for caught Pokémon, and increased effectiveness of Premier Balls. Additionally, players who previously purchased the Road of Legends Deluxe Pass will receive additional XP, Candy, and Candy XL from completed raids. The event also includes a special bonus for players in the Asia-Pacific region, featuring a unique set of Pokémon and raid bosses. Overall, this event is a welcome addition to the game, offering players a chance to enjoy the game's content and earn rewards while also providing a much-needed fix for a technical issue that affected players during the original event.
