- Special Raid Day kicks off July 12th
- Hisuian Liligant makes its raid battle debut
- Optional event ticket unlocks premium rewards
Between two major Ultra Unlock events, Pokémon Go trainers get a delightful surprise - a special Raid Day featuring Hisuian Lilligant's first appearance in battles.
A Blooming Battle Debut
Mark your calendars for July 12th between 2-5 PM local time when Hisuian Liligant takes over Pokémon Go raids. This elegant Grass/Fighting-type Pokémon arrives complete with its shiny variant available for lucky trainers. Throughout the three-hour window, you'll find boosted raid odds to help you catch this floral fighter.
Raid Bonuses & Event Ticket
Starting July 11th at 5 PM PDT through July 12th at 8 PM PDT, remote raiders get elevated capabilities with the daily cap increasing to 20 raids. On event day, spinning Gym Photo Discs rewards up to five bonus Raid Passes - giving everyone six total free attempts.

For trainers seeking extra action, a $4.99 event ticket delivers eight additional Gym Passes (14 total), boosted Rare Candy XL drops, and premium bonuses including 50% more XP and double Stardust from raids. Available simultaneously through the Pokémon Go Web Store, the Ultra Ticket Bundle combines the event pass with a Premium Battle Pass.
Summer Event Momentum
This floral raid event blossoms between Ultra Unlock: Hisui Celebration (featuring Hisuian Zorua) and the upcoming steel-themed Ultra Unlock: Steel and Scales introducing Honedge's evolutionary line.
The appearance continues Pokémon Go's ninth anniversary festivities, complete with shiny debuts, special events, and boosted rewards celebrating nearly a decade of monster-catching adventures. Don't forget to redeem active Pokémon Go codes for complimentary bonuses!
