The much-anticipated Inbound from Ultra Space event serves as a warm-up for this year’s Go Fest: Global in Pokémon Go. As the event title implies, players will encounter the infamous Ultra Beasts during five-star raids once again, each appearing on a rotating basis throughout the event. Be sure to check the Inbound from Ultra Space raid schedule to catch each Ultra Beast on its designated day.
While battling in raids, players can also work on the Timed Research quest for Inbound from Ultra Space, granting additional Ultra Beast encounters as rewards. This quest presents an excellent opportunity to capture the regionally exclusive Ultra Beasts that may have otherwise eluded you.
Overview of the ‘Inbound from Ultra Space Timed Research’ Quest
The Inbound from Ultra Space Timed Research quest is accessible to all players and will conclude at 10 a.m. local time on Saturday, July 13, 2024. Completing this quest is highly recommended as it allows you to catch every Ultra Beast that has been released in Pokémon Go, excluding Poipole and Naganadel. For trainers who need specific Ultra Beasts to complete their collection or are looking to gain extra Candy, this quest is perfect. Unlike in raids, the regionally exclusive Ultra Beasts encountered through this quest cannot escape, ensuring a higher catch rate.
Here’s a breakdown of the quest steps and rewards:
‘Inbound from Ultra Space Timed Research’ Step 1 of 1:
- Win 2 raids → Encounter with Blacephalon

Raid Schedule for Inbound from Ultra Space
The Inbound from Ultra Space event features an engaging raid schedule. Each day showcases a different Ultra Beast in five-star raids. Additionally, there will be a raid hour dedicated to that day’s featured Ultra Beast from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. local time, making it a prime opportunity to battle alongside friends.
Players should anticipate the potential for catching shiny forms of Buzzwole, Pheromosa, or Xurkitree for the first time! All Ultra Beasts caught during these raids will display a special background, reminiscent of past Go Fest events. However, Ultra Beasts acquired through the timed research quest will not feature these exclusive backgrounds.
Inbound from Ultra Space Raid Schedule:
- Monday, July 8 – Guzzlord
- Tuesday, July 9 – Nihilego
- Wednesday, July 10 – Celesteela in the Southern Hemisphere; Kartana in the Northern Hemisphere
- Thursday, July 11 – Stakataka in the Eastern Hemisphere; Blacephalon in the Western Hemisphere
- Friday, July 12 – Buzzwole in the Americas and Greenland; Pheromosa in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India; Xurkitree in Asia-Pacific
For optimal catching of Ultra Beasts, trainers are encouraged to participate in the timed research quest, where these Pokémon cannot escape, making it a less stressful option than relying solely on remote raids.
