Ultra Unlock: 10th Anniversary Edition

The upgraded 10th Anniversary Party, unlocked by Global Challenges completed during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global, runs from 21 to 27 July. First partner Pokémon from every region appear in the wild in three rotations and can carry a team-specific Special Background, while party-hat Pokémon fill the raids. It is a good week to evolve first partners for their signature Charged Attacks, collect the free Professor Willow–style avatar items and work towards a Shiny Shaymin, with Professor Willow's birthday celebrated on the first day.
