Hoopa Unbound Returns to Pokemon GO with Special February Raid Day

Pokemon GO has announced the return of Hoopa Unbound in an exclusive Raid Day event scheduled for February 15, 2025. The powerful Mythical Pokemon will be featured in five-star raids during a three-hour window, offering trainers a focused opportunity to challenge and capture this rare creature.

The event will run from 2 PM to 5 PM local time, with increased raid appearances throughout participating locations. Trainers can access the event through a $5 ticket, which unlocks additional benefits including enhanced raid rewards and extra raid passes.

Event Features and Bonuses

Pokemon GO has implemented several special features for the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day. During the event window, trainers will receive seven free Raid Passes when spinning photo discs at Gyms, while ticket holders will gain access to eight additional passes, bringing their total to 15 for the day.

  • Seven free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs
  • Remote Raid Pass limit increased to 20 (February 14, 5 PM PST to February 15, 8 PM PST)
  • 50% more XP from raids for ticket holders
  • Double Stardust rewards for ticket holders
  • Increased chances of obtaining Rare Candy XL

For players seeking additional value, Pokemon GO’s Web Store will offer a special Hoopa Unbound Raid Day Ultra Ticket Box priced at $4.99, which includes the event ticket and a bonus Premium Battle Pass.

The Remote Raid Pass limit increase will be active from February 14 at 5 PM PST through February 15 at 8 PM PST, allowing trainers to participate in raids from various locations. This temporary expansion provides greater flexibility for players who may not be able to attend raids in person.
