Hisuian Discoveries event brings a little Pokémon Legends Arceus into Pokémon Go this week
More Hisuian Pokémon are making their debut in Pokémon Go during this week’s Hisuian Discoveries event, running from 10am on the 27th July through to 8pm on the 2nd August. Hisuian Growlithe, Qwilfish and Sneasel will join the previously released Hisuian Voltorb in 7km eggs, while Hisuian Braviary will debut in Raids during a special Raid Day this Sunday.
Hisuian Braviary Raid Day
Running from 11am to 2pm local time on the 31st July, Hisuian Braviary, as well as it’s Shiny form, will be appearing in raids for the first time. Additional bonuses during the event include an increased chance to receive Rare Candy XL from in-person Raid battles, 50% more XP for winning Raid battles and up to 5 free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs both during the event and up to two hours afterwards.

Throughout the main event several Ultra Unlocks will also be in play as a result of players completing a global challenge during last weekend’s Go Fest Seattle event. Friendship levels will increase faster than normal, while up to 30 gifts can be stored, up to 45 can be opened and up to 150 can be sent. Shiny forms of Unown S and Panpour will also be available globally after appearing during Seattle’s Go Fest.
