This week’s Pokémon GO 6th Anniversary Event has now been updated with out-of-region Pansear encounters and Unown E raids. Let’s get into the details of this new Ultra Unlock event.
The following Ultra Unlock bonuses have been added to the Pokémon GO 6th Anniversary Event:
- Pansear: Pansear will be appearing in the wild and raids during the event. It can be encountered in its Shiny form.
- Unown E: Find Unown E in raids only during the Anniversary Event. It can also be encountered in its Shiny form.
