Ultra Unlock: 10th Anniversary Edition
Ultra Unlock: 10th Anniversary Edition
Cap off Pokémon GO's 10th anniversary with Ultra Unlock! First partner Pokémon from all nine regions—Kanto through Paldea—rotate through the wild in three phases, and evolving them teaches Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, and Hydro Cannon. Catch XP climbs through the event: 6× → 8× → 10×, and a Masterwork Research leads to a Shiny Shaymin encounter.
Featured Pokémon
In the wild, 27 first-partner Pokémon from all nine regions rotate across three phases (Phase 1 Kanto/Johto/Hoenn, Phase 2 Sinnoh/Unova/Kalos, Phase 3 Alola/Galar/Paldea). Lure Modules attract Beldum, Gible, Dreepy, and more.

Tips
Catch XP peaks at 10× in the final phase (Jul 25–27). Stack a Lucky Egg (2×) for up to 20× XP — save level-ups, mass evolutions, and new catches for this window.
Every region's final-stage starters learn their exclusive move (Frenzy Plant, Blast Burn, Hydro Cannon) when evolved during the event. Prep the ones you want with candy in advance.
Starters rotate by region each phase — Phase 1 Kanto/Johto/Hoenn, Phase 2 Sinnoh/Unova/Kalos, Phase 3 Alola/Galar/Paldea. Don't miss the phase for the starter you want.
Shiny Shaymin is only a guaranteed encounter through the paid Masterwork Research. Consider the ticket if you need Shaymin.
Professor Willow's Birthday Research also runs on Jul 21. Check that guide if you're after Assistant Pikachu.
