Pokémon Go Trainers, the final of the Ultra Unlock Bonuses is Unova Week. Trainers around the globe were able to complete eight challenges during Pokémon Go Fest 2020, and so all Pokémon Go players will be rewarded with an entire week of Pokémon originally discovered in the Unova Region. What can we expect from Unova Week?
What are Ultra Unlock Bonuses
As is tradition with Pokémon GO Fest events, Ultra Unlock bonuses are rewards players can earn for everyone by completing challenges. Throughout day one of Pokémon GO Fest 2020, Trainers had over 30 global challenges tied to the Rotating Habitats. Every eight challenges that were completed by players around the world unlocked one additional Ultra Unlock event week for a total of three events.
