Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Raid Make-Up Event

During Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global certain areas experienced issues with raids. This led to Scopely Explore turning off Team GO Rocket to help the event run smoother. Trainers experienced technical issues when attempting to join raid battles that led to them being unable to participate in raids.

As a result, a special make-up raid event will be held for all Trainers, globally. Raid Bosses featured during the original event–including Mega Mewtwo Y Super Mega Raids–will appear. Team GO Rocket are now also reactivated in game!

Initially it was announced that this event would only be for trainers in certain time zones, but this has now been updated to be a global event.
