GO Fest 2026 Global — Sunday Raid Makeup Event

Raid Day
From at Until at
Starts in

Niantic is holding a special raid event on Sunday, July 26, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, featuring dozens of the Pokémon that appeared on the Sunday of Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global.

This makeup event only runs for Trainers in the time zones UTC+14 through UTC+0 — Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. The Netherlands and the rest of the EU are included, so you can take part. Trainers in the Americas are not.

The event is compensation for the technical issue that prevented Trainers in certain time zones from joining Raid Battles during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global. The issue did not consume Raid Passes, but it did stop raids from being joined as normal. Every Raid Boss from the original Sunday returns for the day — including Mega Mewtwo Y in Super Mega Raids.

Super Mega Raid — Mega Mewtwo Y

Mega Mewtwo Y appears in Super Mega Raids during the event.

Mewtwo caught from these raids may have a Special Background. If a Mewtwo with a Special Background is Mega Evolved, its Mega Evolution’s background gains an additional visual effect.

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!

Five-Star Raids

The five-star Raid Bosses rotate through three themed windows across the nine event hours.

Both Enamorus formes are the only five-star bosses that cannot be Shiny.

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!

One-Star Raids

Pikachu wearing Team Instinct, Team Mystic and Team Valor hats appear in one-star raids throughout the event.

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
