Pokemon GO Ultra Bonus Detailed, Unova Pokemon Teased

Earlier this week, Niantic announced an “Ultra Bonus” for Pokemon GO players in celebration of completing the latest Global Challenge.

Today, we now have some new details about what this Ultra Bonus will entail, at least for its first three weeks starting from September 2nd. In Week 1, there will be a special bonus related to Johto Pokemon, while in Week 2 will feature an appearance of a Mythical Pokemon.

Week 1

September 2, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT to September 9, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT

Trainers can enjoy a chance to work on their Johto Pokédex while exploring and raiding. Put on your walking shoes, as Pokémon never before seen in Eggs in Pokémon GO will be hatching during this time.

Week 2

September 9, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT to September 16, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT

Pokémon from across the globe will join in the celebration this week, along with a special appearance by a Mythical Pokémon that will be available to challenge in raids.

However, its in Week 3 that things start to really get interesting. While the wording of the announcement seems pretty standard, eagle-eyed fans noticed that the first letter of each sentence spells out U N O V A. Unova, as many Pokemon fans would know, is the name of the region in which Pokemon Black & White takes place, strongly hinting that Generation V Pokemon are coming to Pokemon GO soon.

Week 3

September 16, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT to September 23, 2019, at 1 p.m. PDT

Unusual Pokémon will be appearing in the wild during this week. Noteworthy opponents are coming to raids, too. Over the course of the event, you may also be able to add some Pokémon to your Kanto Pokédex that previously eluded you in your part of the world. Venture out to take on challenges and make discoveries. As always, happy exploring, Trainers!

According to the blog post, more details will be shared on August 20th. We will be sure keep an eye out and report back with the latest updates.
