The legendary giants are awakening, and *Pokémon Go* is calling all raiders, collectors, and lore enthusiasts back to the field. As we gear up for this year's Go Fest: Global, a thrilling week-long event called Ancients Recovered is set to begin on June 23rd. This event is the perfect opportunity for you to dust off your raid teams and take on some of the most formidable titans the game has to offer.
Each day of the event will feature one of the six legendary giants in five-star raids, starting with Regirock and culminating in a grand reunion of all six on June 27th. These encounters are more than just reruns; catch them during Ancients Recovered, and they'll come with signature attacks like Zap Cannon on Registeel and Thunder Cage on Regieleki, making them even more powerful.
For those looking for an extra challenge, Max Battles are also on the schedule. The fully Gigantamaxed Galar starters, Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon, will be available in six-star raids. Additionally, Timed Research offers repeatable tasks focused on the legendary giants, with a special surprise choice waiting for those who complete it.
For a premium experience, you can purchase the Fleeting Legends Ticket for $7.99. This ticket includes a Timed Research that leads to an encounter with your choice of Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres—a guaranteed one-time bird hunt that's well worth the investment.
Don't miss out on the Global Challenge, running from June 22nd to 27th. Trainers worldwide can contribute to unlocking global bonuses such as stronger Premier Balls and faster Party Power charging, which will last until the end of Go Fest. Every raid counts, so make sure to participate.
If luck is on your side, some raid catches may feature new Pokémon Backgrounds, visual souvenirs unique to the event, similar to Location Backgrounds from in-person festivals. These backgrounds don't affect gameplay but add a cool, collectible element to your Pokémon.
Finally, don't forget to visit the Pokémon Go Web Store, where you'll find new battle pass bundles and a comprehensive $99.99 raid-and-hatch box designed for the most dedicated trainers.
