Don’t Miss the Epic Hoopa Unbound Raid Day: A Game-Changer for Pokemon Go!

by

The recent promotional video for Pokemon Go’s Dual Destiny strongly suggests that the legendary Pokemon Hoopa will be a significant focus this season. Although Hoopa has been technically available in Pokemon Go since its two forms were released in 2021, it’s been quite some time since players have had an opportunity to catch it. Hoopa Confined was part of a Special Research back in 2021 and hasn’t appeared again since, while Hoopa Unbound was featured in a Raid Event the same year. Now, trainers will get another chance to battle against Hoopa Unbound during the upcoming Hoopa Unbound Raid Day in Pokemon Go.

Similar to numerous Legendary Pokémon, Hoopa can’t be traded, making it a highly sought-after catch for those who missed its initial release. If you fall into this category, mark your calendars for the opportunities to capture one in 2025. This year, Hoopa Unbound Raid Day is scheduled for Saturday, February 15th, from 2 PM to 2 PM (local time). This could make a fantastic Pokémon Go adventure for Valentine’s Day – although participating remotely during the event is an option if you prefer to stay home.

It seems that Shiny Hoopa Unbound won’t be obtainable through this second Raid event, leaving some players disappointed who were hoping for an additional incentive to participate in Raids, especially if they already own a regular Hoopa. Regardless of the disappointment, many trainers are likely to join the Raid due to the rarity of catching Hoopa Unbound.

Pokemon Go Hoopa Unbound Raid Day Event Bonuses

On the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day event, you can expect an increase in the appearance of Hoopa Unbound during raids. These raids will be rated 5-stars and can be joined remotely by players. Additionally, there will be other bonuses active during this period, starting from 2 PM to 5 PM local time on February 15th:

During the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day event, you can look forward to more frequent encounters of Hoopa Unbound in raids. These will be 5-star raids that players can participate in from afar. Furthermore, there will be additional perks available during this period, specifically between 2 PM and 5 PM local time on February 15th:

This version maintains the original meaning but uses simpler language and a more conversational tone to make it easier for readers to understand.

  • Up to 5 additional Free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Disks
  • Remote Raid Pass limit increased to 20 from February 14th at 5 PM PST to February 15th at 8 PM PST

It’s pleasing to learn that the community’s long-standing demand for higher limits on Remote Raids in Pokemon Go is being addressed, albeit temporarily. Additionally, the introduction of remote Shadow Raids indicates that Niantic could be easing up on their stringent rules regarding Remote Raid participation.

During the forthcoming Raid Day event, players have other options besides just Remote Raids where they can spend money. Apart from the regular bonuses, there’s also an event ticket available for trainers who wish to enhance their Hoopa Unbound Raid Day experience in Pokemon Go, by purchasing it.

Paid Event Ticket Bonuses

The price for the ticket, whether it’s in USD or the local currency, is set at $5. During the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day event, you’ll receive a few additional perks. These extra benefits will be activated during the event.

  • 8 Additional Raid Passes from spinning Gyms (on top of the regular bonus noted above)
  • Increased chance of getting Rare Candy XL from Raids
  • 50% more XP from Raids
  • Double Stardust from Raids

Tickets for the event can be given away if you are considered Great Friends or higher with someone. Therefore, for those who have accumulated PokeCoins, this might be an excellent opportunity to encourage friends to participate in the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day.
