Every time a new Pokémon GO event rolls around, there is always a long list of new Pokémon making an appearance for the first time or becoming more common during the duration of the event.
The Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Global event is no different, and there are a lot of Pokémon on the event list. Whether you’re looking for something extra special or you just want a Pikachu with a specific hat, there’s something for everyone to aim for during the Unova Global event.

Black and White Kyurem

Perhaps the biggest draw of the event is the debut of Kyurem’s alternate forms, Black and White Kyurem. These Pokémon will be available to battle in 5-star raids, and you’ll be able to add them to your own Pokédex using Fusion.
If you want to know more about Black and White Kyurem in Pokémon GO, check out our full guide on how to get them.
Shiny Meloetta

For the first time, players will be able to get a Shiny Meloetta in their Pokédex during the Unova Global event. To do so, you’ll need to purchase a ticket for Masterwork Research, which costs $4.99 (or the equivalent in your local currency). Completing this Masterwork Research will guarantee an encounter with the never-before-seen shiny Pokémon.
On the plus side, Masterwork Research does not expire, so you’ll be able to purchase the ticket and then complete the tasks in your own time without having to rush through it during the event.
Event themed Pokémon Habitats

There will be four timed “Habitats” to explore during the Unova Global event, each with their own selection of Pokémon to find and capture. Excitingly, Shiny Deerling will appear for the first time inside these habitats, so you might catch one of you get lucky!
Here are the four habitats, when they’ll be around, and which themed Pokémon you can find there:
Habitat | Times (local times) | Pokémon |
---|---|---|
Winter Caverns | 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. 2 p.m. – 3 p.m. | Oshawatt Roggenrola Woobat Drilbur Tirtouga Minccino Vanillite Deerling (Winter) Joltik Klink Tynamo Axew Cubhoo Cryogonal |
Spring Soirée | 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. 3 p.m. – 4 p.m. | Snivy Pansage Munna Audino Timburr Sewaddle Venipede Cottonee Petilil Ducklett Deerling (Spring) Foongus Alomomola Ferroseed |
Summer Vacation | 12 p.m. – 1 p.m. 4 p.m. – 5 p.m. | Tepig Lilipup Pansear Pidove Blitzle Tympole Darumaka Dwebble Archen Trubbish Deerling (Summer) Emolga Stunfisk Rufflet |

As well as the themed Pokémon in each Habitat, you also stand a chance of finding the following behatted Pikachus in any of the four Habitats:
- Pikachu wearing Hilbert’s hat
- Pikachu wearing Hilda’s hat
- Pikachu wearing Nate’s visor
- Pikachu wearing Rosa’s visor
Don’t worry if you don’t get lucky and find them, though. They’ll also be appearing Tier 1 Raids throughout the event.
Possible Pokémon from Eggs

During the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova Global event, the distance required to hatch Eggs will be halved. As such, it’s the perfect opportunity to try and hatch some of the following Pokémon that will be more likely during the event:
Distance | Pokémon |
---|---|
2 km | Roggenrola Timburr Karrablast Shelmet Larvesta |
5 km | Throh Sawk Heatmor Durant Larvesta |
10 km | Maractus Sigilyph Bouffalant Larvesta |
Pokémon attracted with Incense

During the event, you’ll be able to attract a few different Unowns when using Incense (except Daily Adventure Incense). The types of Unown you’ll be able to find are:
- Unown U
- Unown N
- Unown O
- Unown V
- Unown A
Yes, that spells Unova. Can you collect all of them and spell out the region’s name?
Raid Pokémon

Of course, the main draw of Raids during the Unova Global event is definitely the newly added Black and White Kyurem, but other Pokémon are putting in their appearances. Along with the behatted Pikachus in Tier 1 raids, Druddigon will be appearing in Tier 3 raids.
