All Pokémon Go Fest: Finale 2022 Special and Event-exclusive research tasks and rewards

The Ultra Beasts seem to have brought new content with them during the breach.

The Season of Go is reaching its conclusion as the Pokémon Go Fest: Finale rolls out around the globe, and brings with it just about every last bit of content players need to complete the event season’s three-month run.

Ticketed and non-ticketed players alike will see plenty of rare or new Pokémon appearing during the event, including all four of the Ultra Beasts who breached out into our world during the various Go Fest events this summer. Professor Willow is also making his return, and with him comes more information about the incidents that have taken place in-game. 

Pheromost, Buzzwole, Xurkitree, and Nihilego are the Ultra Beasts making an appearance in five-star raids during specific periods between 10am and 6pm on Aug. 27. This also plays into a set of “Ultra Incursion” habitat rotations with specific Pokémon spawning during a set period of time, and each will have its own Collection Challenge too.
