The Legendary Water- and Dragon-type Pokémon Palkia is known for its awe-inspiring ability to control the boundaries of space—so it’s only natural for the Spatial Pokémon to star during Pokémon GO’s Ultra Unlock Part 2: Space event! This supremely stupendous space-themed soiree runs from Friday, August 6, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, August 17, 2021, at 8:00 p.m. local time. Palkia will be appearing in five-star raids during this time, and if you’re lucky, you might even encounter a Shiny one.
The event’s spatial distortions will also see Heracross make its global debut in three-star raids, along with Pokémon like Alakazam and Kangaskhan. If you’re lucky, you might find a Shiny Heracross! And in one-star raids, Pokémon like Unown U, West Sea Shellos, East Sea Shellos, Elgyem, and Espurr will be appearing. You might even encounter a Shiny Unown U, if you’re lucky!
Throughout Ultra Unlock Part 2: Space, Pokémon like West Sea Shellos, East Sea Shellos, Red-Striped Basculin, Blue-Striped Basculin, Heatmor, and Durant will be hatching from 7 km Eggs. You can also complete research tasks to earn encounters with event-themed Pokémon.
