Pokémon Go Ultra Bonus dates and rewards from Global Challenge 2019 explained How to be rewarded from various Pokémon Go events wherever you are this year. Guide by Matthew Reynolds Managing Editor Updated on 21 Aug 2019 2 comments Pokémon Go's Global Challenge allows players around the world to get involved in the game's many Go Fest events throughout the summer. Each Go Fest event - in Chicago, Dortmund and Yokohama - will coincide with a Global Challenge date that all players can participate in. Doing so will result in bonuses being unlocked for everyone in the game - as well as the arrival of shiny beasts. After those, there will be Pokémon Go Ultra Bonus dates in September, with the tease of some powerful and never-before-seen rewards.

Even if you can't attend them yourself, there will be Global Challenges taking place across all three events, each with unique rewards that then unlock for all players at a later time. If players can unlock all challenges within an event, a Raid day for the legendary beasts - Raikou, Entei and Suicune - will unlock. Anad, if players can unlock every challenge across all three Go Fest events, there will be a bonus mystery Raid Day in the future. Last year's bonus Raid Day was the arrival of Mewtwo in Level 5 Raids, and it's likely the current EX Raid occupant, Deoxys, will take its place.
