There are also a number of Ultra Unlock bonuses running throughout the A Paldean Adventure event. The first two see you receiving x4 catch XP and stardust alongside every Pokémon you catch. Golden PokéStops will also be appearing throughout this event and, while you can’t find Roaming Form Gimmighouls from these PokéStops, you may earn Gimmighoul Coins!

The above bonuses will also be available during the Ultra Unlock: Paldea event.

Another Ultra Unlock running throughout this event is that Unown A, D, E, L and P (I wonder what word that spells…) can be fought in one-star raids.

Alongside these Unowns, you can battle the following Pokémon in raids:

These Ultra Beasts will then switch hemispheres - Kartana to the southern hemisphere and Celesteela in the northern hemisphere - until Saturday 16th September.

Here are Pokémon which will be appearing more frequently in the wild during A Paldean Adventure:

The shiny rates for Hoppip, Houndour, Buizel and Fletchling will also be increased during this event, so, if you’re missing them from your shiny collection, now is the time to hunt them down.

Any 7km egg you collect from opening Gifts during A Paldean Adventure can hatch one of the following Pokémon:
