Road of Legends

On Monday, July 6, nearly every Legendary and Mythical Pokémon to have appeared in Pokémon GO returns to five-star raids for a single day.

Monday features an extended Raid Hour from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one — Solgaleo, Lunala and both Enamorus formes do not have Shiny forms available.

Some Legendary Pokémon are only available in specific regions — see the Regional Raids list below.

From Tuesday, July 7 to Friday, July 10, a featured selection of Legendary Pokémon appears in five-star raids each day.

The five-star Raid Hour runs from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one — Kyurem (Black and White), Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta do not have Shiny forms available.

A different Mega-Evolved Pokémon headlines Mega Raids each day from Monday to Thursday.

The Mega Raid Hour runs from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!

On Friday, July 10, Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon take over the evening with a Primal Raid Hour from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.

If you're lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!

Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y debut in Super Mega Raids during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global on July 11–12, 2026.

Every Mewtwo caught from these Super Mega Raids will have at least one Mega Level already unlocked, with no initial Energy cost, and a higher chance of high Attack, Defense and HP. Mewtwo caught with a Special Background show special visual effects when Mega-Evolved.

Shiny Mega Mewtwo X and Shiny Mega Mewtwo Y are available — if you're lucky, you may encounter one!

New Pokémon Backgrounds debut during the event!

From Monday, July 6 to Sunday, July 12, 2026, Pokémon caught from five-star Raids, Primal Raids and Mega Raids may be caught with a special Background that appears on the Pokémon's summary page — similar to the location-based Backgrounds from in-person events. Mewtwo caught with a Special Background show special visual effects when Mega-Evolved.

For the first time in Pokémon GO, these Adventure Effects and Charged Attacks are available through Elite TM!

• Kyurem encountered in raids on Monday, July 6 may know the Charged Attack Glaciate.
• Origin Forme Palkia may know Spacial Rend (Adventure Effect).
• Origin Forme Dialga may know Roar of Time (Adventure Effect).

Elite TMs that teach the Origin Formes' Adventure Effects — Roar of Time and Spacial Rend — are available through Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global. Glaciate is learned by Kyurem encountered in raids on Monday, July 6.

Hatch your way into GO Fest! Event-themed Eggs are available throughout the Road of Legends.

If you're lucky, Larvesta may hatch from 2 km, 5 km, or 10 km Eggs — and you may encounter a Shiny one! Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle hatch wearing a Pikachu visor from 5 km Eggs.

On July 6, from 12:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time, Bulbasaur, Charmander and Squirtle in 5 km Eggs hatch wearing a Party Hat instead of a Pikachu visor, due to the overlapping 10th Anniversary Party.
