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.

After further investigation, Niantic has expanded this makeup event to all Trainers worldwide — every region can now take part. The number of free Raid Passes has also been increased from 9 to 12 per day.

The event is compensation for the technical issue that prevented some Trainers 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.

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.
