Pokémon Go Fest: Global 2026 brings Zeraora and free Mega Mewtwo this July

Pokémon Go Fest: Global 2026 runs July 11 and 12 from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. in local time. During the event, players can access the Special Research task "A Thunderous Discovery," which rewards the mythical Pokémon Zeraora. Additionally, timed research called "Genetic Mastery" grants players a free Mega Mewtwo, allowing them to choose between Mega Mewtwo X or Y. This research is only available on the event dates, making it essential for players seeking the legendary Mewtwo form. The event also features rotating habitats across the two days, with different Pokémon spawning each day, encouraging players to participate on both Saturday and Sunday to maximize their encounters and raid opportunities.
