How to get Poipole in Pokemon Go
Trainers can earn an encounter with Poipole by completing the season-long World of Wonders special research quest, which runs from March 1, 2024, to June 1, 2024. However, at the time of writing, all of the steps have not been released, so you’re not able to fully complete the quest.
Poipole is the only Ultra Beast that can evolve, but it’s unclear when Naganadel will arrive in Pokemon Go.
Can you get Necrozma in Pokemon Go?
Necrozma will debut as part of Pokemon Go Fest 2024. It will first appear in Raids during the Sendai, Madrid, and New York City events before becoming available to all during the worldwide event on July 13 and 14, 2024.
Though there’s some fan debate over whether Necrozma should be categorized as an Ultra Beast, Pokemon Go seems to be treating it as one. After a perfectly timed tease, Niantic announced the Prism Pokemon’s arrival with an alert warning of a “Surge in Ultra Wormhole activity.” The GO Fest events will also feature other Ultra Beasts alongside Necrozma.
Can you get the Ultra Beasts outside of Pokemon Go Fest?
Trainers around the world were able to battle Pheromosa, Buzzwole, Xurkitree, and Nihilego in Raids during the Pokemon GO Fest 2022 Finale event on August 27 between 10 AM and 6 PM local time.
Buzzwole, Xurkitree, and Pheromosa appeared in 5-star Raids from January 1, 2024, to January 10, 2024. Celesteela and Kartana returned for the Sizeable Surprises event.
Ultra Beasts aren’t in Pokemon Go?
Right now, three Ultra Beasts remain unavailable in Pokemon Go, not counting Necrozma who is coming soon and whose Ultra Beast status is debatable.
All of these missing Ultra Beasts debuted in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon: Naganadel, Stakataka, and Blacephalon. Naganadel will likely debut later in the ongoing World of Wonders season, as its pre-evolution Poipole is a major part of the event’s special research.
As for the others, it’s not yet known when Stakataka and Blacephalon will be added to Pokemon Go.
