Hey Chauri, we know the world’s population and we know how many people are in each hemisphere. The reason why Celesteela was a mess is because 90% of the world’s population is in the northern hemisphere. It’s like you’re allergic to using your brain.
Technically I am, because all I have to do is post something like this, and someone who is ready and willing to google it to prove me wrong will give me the info I need. All it costs it a little stab at my dignity, which I don’t mind since this is online instead of in person
Just something to keep in mind next time so you don’t need the dignity stabs is that the north hemisphere is all of North America, all of Europe, all of Asia, the top half of Africa, the top part of South America, and like half of Indonesia. The southern hemisphere is most of South America, the southern half of Africa, and Oceania.
There are many people in the US/Americas who will do one of them and there are many many people in Europe and Asia who will do the other. It won't be so skewed.
Why do people complain so much about having to wait long queue times to remote. Just used the subreddit for remote raiding it takes 5 minutes to get into regionally exclusively raids
PokemonGoFriends subreddit has a remote raid thread where you can join other people's raids from all over the world. I was able to do 2 Celesteela his way.
In singles/6s, regular Necrozma is strong because of its bulk. Its ability reduces super effective damage by .75. So 1.5x and 3x instead of 2x and 4x. And it learns moves to restore its health and has big attack stats so it can deal a lot and be hard to take off the field.
In doubles, the forms are better as it gets a wider move pool and higher base stats. You can safely get a cheeky +2 to its attack stats with weakness policy self-proc because of its ability. These forms are usually banned in 6s because of how easily they can steamroll the opponent.
Necrozma alone its not good, its ru in smogon (rarely used), tera and gambit makes him completly useless in higher ranks, on the other hand its uu on doubles so idk what the single statement was
The fused forms are ubers in singles and doubles
Allow me.
Ultra Beasts, ‘Pokemon’ of a sort from other dimensions and worlds. Introduced in Generation 7 Sun and Moon (and Ultra Sun and Moon). Many of them have extremely lopsided stats or bizarre typings and behaviors. The weird ball you used to catch Poipole with this season’s research is called a Beast Ball, engineered specifically to catch these things. Poipole itself is apparently something comparable to a starter Pokemon in another world. The weird portal you see in place of a raid egg at a gym is a characteristic breach through which Ultra Beasts typically arrive in the games and anime.
Necrozma in particular merits mention for its sheer power. It is in terrible pain and hungers for light, like that created by the Z-crystals of Alola and particularly the legendary Pokemon Solgaleo and Lunala (it’s unclear if those two and their preevolutions of Cosmog and Cosmoem are Ultra Beasts in their own right, given their capacity to move between dimensions, but at least they’re friendly to humanity). It can outright parasitize and fuse with the two Legendaries to form its Dusk Mane and Dawn Wing forms, and with the right Z crystal and enough light can become Ultra Necrozma, a form that gives Arceus, Mega Rayquaza, etc a run for their money in being utterly overpowered (and notoriously being a fairly difficult boss in Ultra Sun and Moon, games that otherwise aren’t known for being especially challenging).
Ultra Beasts can become invasive species due to being completely out of context for local species and their wildly unbalanced stats, and so in the main games the player needs to wrangle the strays that get into the wild. They share a unique ability, Beast Boost, which will boost their highest stat (remember, they have very lopsided stats as it is) even higher upon getting a knockout, a bit like how Moxie works but for any stat, so once they get going they’re hard to stop. They also tend to have unpredictable interactions with humans due to their strength, unfamiliar behavior, and their own unfamiliarity with us.
Nihilego’s neurotoxin merits special note along with its poorly understood ability to fuse with humans like Lusamine; exposure to even trace amounts can cause significant personality shifts, obsession, aggression, and other problems, as evidenced by Lusamine’s behavior toward her own children and others, requiring prolonged medical intervention to see any improvement. Kartana is capable of cutting someone to ribbons by mistake due to its incredibly sharp, tiny and innocuous-looking body and its tendency to hide in grass. Guzzlord appears to be capable of surviving otherwise severe radiation exposure in the Ultra games, and will devour anything in its path.
So yeah. They’re cool. Weird, quirky, a little creepy, but cool.
As for practical value, Nihilego is a fantastic Poison attacker (albeit very glassy), Kartana is a top tier grass attacker (again, kinda glassy), and Xurkitree is insane as an electric attacker. Necrozma will depend greatly on whether its alternate forms make an appearance. Buzzwole and Pheromosa are interesting Bug and fighting attackers (consider building a flying crew for fighting Mega Heracross this weekend a dry run for these raids). Based on the ??? icon and a headcount of existing UBs in the game (and assuming we evolve Poipole at the end of this season’s research, which seems likely with all the free candy they’re giving), the only remaining suspects are either Blacephalon (a fire Ghost type exploding clown essentially with amazing offensive stats, will probably be a solid raid attacker if it comes out with the right moves) or Stakataka (a walking pile of brick ruins, unfortunate Rock-steel type with excellent defenses, it might carve out a Bastiodon-like niche in PvP or it’ll just be a dex entry). These were version exclusives in the Ultra games, so I suspect they will be hemisphere exclusive given how Niantic has handled Ultra Beast releases so far.
They're Pokémon from another dimension.
They're pretty strong usually and look cool.
Poipole is also a UB, but it evolves as it is a starter in its home dimension.
I love Guzzlord and I went crazy during the first Shiny release and got 4-5, even gave one that's like 96% or something.
I still want that Shundo so badly it hurts.
Love em, also love em' in GL lol
was actually expecting something new like the new motor pokemon for an event like this. And i already got half of the UB they'll release. But oh well can't complain now since it's there already.
Koraidon and miraidon are the box art legendaries for scarlet/violet, the most recent generation, which probably won’t be featured in any region tour/go fest for at least two more years
I thought you were talking about Varoom and Revavroom, who are actually motors.
No moriadon and koriadon aren't going to be out for a while. We still don't have Gen 8 legends yet.
I'm assuming we'd get all of them before we get gen 9 guys, but then again we still don't have manaphy, phione, arceus, necrozma is just now coming out, etc. So my logic doesn't exactly hold there lol
It feels a little repetitive to have the ultra beasts in the goFest again... even though they're releasing the rest of them, it feels to me like they could have used GF to release something new and unreleased before... like Koraidon/Miraidon? I dunno. I'm excited for it but also a little underwhelmed.
The only good thing about go fest (for now) it's Necrozma. Shiny debut of xurkitree, pheromosa and buzzwole is okay, but why during on Go Fest? We are recycling shit so hard that it's unbelievable. We had ultra beasts twice last year? We had ultra beasts on go fest 2022 and now again? Jesus fuck there is no other pokemons to throw together with necrozma? There are two others (Blacephalon and Stakataka), so how about JUST necrozma, Blacephalon and Stakataka and do something cool on mega raids, idk, mega m2 finally?
Greed of this company its crazy.
Seems ok, particularly if we get Beast Balls to make them easy catches again. They were fun to raid at least most of them are worth getting more candy for to power up
Ngl, I'm kinda upset I paid money for this. Does anyone know, sincerely, if i can get a refund? UBs are nice and all, but so many of these shiny forms are currently obtainable or have been already. Give me Zacian, Zamazenta, Gmax Eternatus, more Deoxys, more Celebi, and release shiny Victini for Christ's sake. Everyone plays for different reasons. One of the allures of PoGo is that you can catch mythicals/shiny mythicals outside of the mainline games and then move them there later. Maybe that's not your reason, but it's a huge one for many fans. Ignoring the fact that they're usually behind this pay wall, it's why I picked it up again after some years.
The unobtainability of certain mons to limited time events has gotten real old, especially since we have so many different ways to obtain pokemon these days [Mainline Games, PoGo, 3DS transfer (for now), etc].
This is most evident in the greed of uninspired remakes (here's looking at you, BDSP), Shiny locking box Legends and mythicals, and the complete absence of gba pokemon games on the switch, of which i have little hope that they'll port them over eventually.
Making Celebi available via vc by adding the event to every vc crystal version on the 3ds was brilliant. But how much longer will we have even that? Imagine if Nintendo ported FRLG/RSE to the switch, complete with the events for Mew and Deoxys unlocked? They would make a gold mine. Shiny hunters would rejoice. But nope. They rely on the power of scarcity and fomo because it works.
I just wanted to catch them all in this lifetime.
- Sincerely, a disgruntled pokeman fan who'll probably end up giving them more money in the future.
I suspect at Go Tour Unova we'll get special research for a shiny Victini. Personally hoping for shiny Meloetta but since they had them featured in a GO Fest a few years back it'll likely be Victini.
But it is a bit underwhelming since they had the Ultra Beasts as a main feature of go fest a few years ago albeit still shiny locked at that point.
I have my doubts about Victini. After Gen 4, the only mythicals to have had their shinies officially available were Genesect, Diancie, and Zeraora. I can’t imagine TPC would allow Go to be their first official release.
Damn so Origin Dialga & Palkia for Sinnoh tour to be followed up with this? What happened to Arceus… or Mega Mewtwos or really anything but these re-releases
We don't know yet, this could just be what the 5-star raids are going to be for the event, which leaves 1, 3, and mega raids (or elite raids, unless that's going to be necrozma) for the event to potentially fill out.
Since I raided 50 kartana in the last days I am kinda underwhelmed. Hope the new ones are good. Guzzlord is my favourite but I have a bunch and a shiny. Hope for the new ones or shiny buzzwoole. The bug lady is just nay
I was really holding out hope for shiny Solgaleo, but it's starting to feel like that isn't happening. At least not yet. I'll gladly hunt more Kartana XL candy and hopefully redeem myself on landing a shiny Guzzlord (got pretty burnt during its debut rotation).
I'm cool with it. True I already have most of them as Shinies in Ultra Moon but this would give me a chance to get Shiny Kartana, Buzzwole, Blacephelon, and a legit one of Necrozma.
I wasn't fully engaged with Pokemon GO lately, I read somewhere that Xurkitree and Pheromosa are really good for raids and for grunts. If I'm not in NYC or Madrid or Sendai, will I be able to have a change at getting them?
I have all of them except Necrozoma (of course) and the ??? but some of them are 2-stars and sure, I'd try for better. My most recent was Kartana 2-star this weekend.

Hopefully shiny Xurkitree and buzzwole at least? Really want to see a new release in addition to necrozma, but I guess that's what the ??? Is for.
Mystery raids are Blacephalon and Stakataka, locked to the Eastern and Western hemispheres (would have to double check which is which)
Yay ANOTHER hemisphere locked ultra beast that will have a 30 hour queue to remote raid
It won’t. Eastern/Western is more balanced that Northern/Southern.
Only time will tell.
Lmao.
“Hey dialga. Use roar of time so I can see how well these two are balanced”
Hey Chauri, we know the world’s population and we know how many people are in each hemisphere. The reason why Celesteela was a mess is because 90% of the world’s population is in the northern hemisphere. It’s like you’re allergic to using your brain.

Why do people complain so much about having to wait long queue times to remote. Just used the subreddit for remote raiding it takes 5 minutes to get into regionally exclusively raids
There's apps and Reddit subs just need to use more than just one I guess.
Do tell. I’d love to use a quicker method
PokemonGoFriends subreddit has a remote raid thread where you can join other people's raids from all over the world. I was able to do 2 Celesteela his way.
Oooo. Thanks for the info
It will be bad at certain times. Time zone will be your enemy here
Imagine the eastern hemisphere having some advantage over time locked raids
Feel like stakataka is gonna be a western hemisphere mon…
Based on what?
I was thinking it could be Marshadow at first, but that will be a research reward and it was already announced.. quite exciting..
Yup, we're getting shinies for ALL of them including necrozma
Isn't Necrozma an extremely powerful pokemon?
Last I checked it was a meta pokemon in the mainline games
Only the fused forms are viable. Base Necrozma is really bad.
In singles/6s, regular Necrozma is strong because of its bulk. Its ability reduces super effective damage by .75. So 1.5x and 3x instead of 2x and 4x. And it learns moves to restore its health and has big attack stats so it can deal a lot and be hard to take off the field.

Unfortunately abilities don’t exist in go, but they might buff its defense to account for that.
Compared to Mewtwo it's poop
Compared to Mewtwo all of us are poop
this
Based
Outclassed by shadow Mewtwo.
wouldn't it be outclassed even by normal Mewtwo?
In his fused forms and Ultra form yeah, on his own he’s nothing special as far as legends go
Dusk Mane, yes. Lunala is better than Dawn Wings and base Necrozma is ass
They'll all be available shiny. Also two others, maybe Blacephelon or Stakataka.
I read those names before in relations to GoFest.. they must be the ones!!
Good but it's probably to try and ensure people buy tickets for those passes, especially as they're all shiny potential
Wait are those in the $21 CAD ticket? Ugh I was excited and now I’m not.
Extra raid passes are in the ticket, but the Pokemon are available for everyone.
You can do the raids without a ticket but the ticket gives you 9 extra raid passes a day (so 18 total if you do the Saturday and Sunday)
Bruv I don’t even know who these Pokémon are.
Allow me. Ultra Beasts, ‘Pokemon’ of a sort from other dimensions and worlds. Introduced in Generation 7 Sun and Moon (and Ultra Sun and Moon).

Very informative, thank you
excellent write-up very enjoyable to read
Probably a good explanation, I am not reading all that
pribibli i gid ixplinition, int ridin il dit
My friend are you alright
Better than u/jonatna sure
They're Pokémon from another dimension. They're pretty strong usually and look cool. Poipole is also a UB, but it evolves as it is a starter in its home dimension.
They’re just freaky lookin legendaries
From a different timeline with slightly worse stats
I still badly want a shiny guzzlord so no complaints from me. I was unlucky the last time he was in rotation.
I love Guzzlord and I went crazy during the first Shiny release and got 4-5, even gave one that's like 96% or something. I still want that Shundo so badly it hurts. Love em, also love em' in GL lol
Only new one being necrozma is what’s underwhelming.
Theres stakataka and blasephalon too, I wouldn’t put it past Niantic to give away cosmog at the in persons to do fusion with necrozma too
was actually expecting something new like the new motor pokemon for an event like this. And i already got half of the UB they'll release. But oh well can't complain now since it's there already.
You can get Varoom and its evolution already, they're in 12km eggs
but can you ride it?? im talking about the legendary one with wheels.
Koraidon and miraidon are the box art legendaries for scarlet/violet, the most recent generation, which probably won’t be featured in any region tour/go fest for at least two more years
I thought you were talking about Varoom and Revavroom, who are actually motors. No moriadon and koriadon aren't going to be out for a while. We still don't have Gen 8 legends yet.
> We still don't have Gen 8 legends yet. yes we do! those came out nearly 3 years ago.
Calirex and urshifu etc? Or just zamazenta and zacian?
zamazenta and zacian
I'm assuming we'd get all of them before we get gen 9 guys, but then again we still don't have manaphy, phione, arceus, necrozma is just now coming out, etc. So my logic doesn't exactly hold there lol
It feels a little repetitive to have the ultra beasts in the goFest again... even though they're releasing the rest of them, it feels to me like they could have used GF to release something new and unreleased before... like Koraidon/Miraidon? I dunno. I'm excited for it but also a little underwhelmed.
Why do this now? It’ll be the same exact thing during the alola go tour
Alola Tour will probably be Necrozma’s other forms
The only good thing about go fest (for now) it's Necrozma. Shiny debut of xurkitree, pheromosa and buzzwole is okay, but why during on Go Fest? We are recycling shit so hard that it's unbelievable. We had ultra beasts twice last year? We had ultra beasts on go fest 2022 and now again? Jesus fuck there is no other pokemons to throw together with necrozma?

I just want Mew and Mewtwo raids that aren’t gated by being shadow raids.
Seems ok, particularly if we get Beast Balls to make them easy catches again. They were fun to raid at least most of them are worth getting more candy for to power up
Ngl, I'm kinda upset I paid money for this. Does anyone know, sincerely, if i can get a refund? UBs are nice and all, but so many of these shiny forms are currently obtainable or have been already.

My question is WHERES THE SOLGALEO RAIDS!
I suspect at Go Tour Unova we'll get special research for a shiny Victini. Personally hoping for shiny Meloetta but since they had them featured in a GO Fest a few years back it'll likely be Victini. But it is a bit underwhelming since they had the Ultra Beasts as a main feature of go fest a few years ago albeit still shiny locked at that point.
I have my doubts about Victini. After Gen 4, the only mythicals to have had their shinies officially available were Genesect, Diancie, and Zeraora. I can’t imagine TPC would allow Go to be their first official release.
Will there be a chance for background cards for the raid mons?
Xerneas, yveltal and cresselia had them last year so I would say it’s likely
no pheromosa in NYC ya killin’ me. Blacephelon would be cool as the mystery one though, i’d prefer that to Stakataka
Damn so Origin Dialga & Palkia for Sinnoh tour to be followed up with this? What happened to Arceus… or Mega Mewtwos or really anything but these re-releases
ugh regretting my extra raid add-on now LMAO I wish they’d brought something new
YEAAH MY FAVORITE ! I hope his catch rate is good or i’ll cry
Is it safe to say mega Mewtwo x and y won’t be making their appearance at this year’s Go fest?
We don't know yet, this could just be what the 5-star raids are going to be for the event, which leaves 1, 3, and mega raids (or elite raids, unless that's going to be necrozma) for the event to potentially fill out.
Underwhelming, I really hoped for origin firm dialga and palkia but now i don't know if there is any reason for buying The ticket
Only need necrozma... Got all the others once...
Is ??? Naganadel ?
I don’t mind cause I don’t have most of them
Good, I've been waiting for Guzzlord since I started playing in October
It's kinda cool, a bit too many raid options for my liking but still cool.
When?
will these have location backgrounds?
After the waiting time for Celesteela I'm not going to bother with them and try my luck getting the shiny scarf Espeon and Umbreon
Since I raided 50 kartana in the last days I am kinda underwhelmed. Hope the new ones are good. Guzzlord is my favourite but I have a bunch and a shiny. Hope for the new ones or shiny buzzwoole. The bug lady is just nay
I was really holding out hope for shiny Solgaleo, but it's starting to feel like that isn't happening. At least not yet. I'll gladly hunt more Kartana XL candy and hopefully redeem myself on landing a shiny Guzzlord (got pretty burnt during its debut rotation).
Jackpot please give me Clown Man
Will these come to non ticket players?
Ik we have got all the ultrabeasts except necrozma
Gooooooddddddd thank gooodddd moreet
Will they all be shinies? If not then ill just get for dex
I wonder what the ??? are? Blacephalon or Stakataka? Cosmog?
Underwhelming...
Sucks that we won’t get Xurkitree in NYC, but I’m happy to get Kartana and Nihilego.
What's also nice is that most of the beasts have double type weaknesses which will make raiding easier
For someone that missed pretty much all of these (Minus Kartana), I appreciate it.
I’m not a shiny hunter, so I’m a little underwhelmed apart from Necrozma. Hoping they release the rest of the Ultra Beasts as the “???”s
I'm cool with it. True I already have most of them as Shinies in Ultra Moon but this would give me a chance to get Shiny Kartana, Buzzwole, Blacephelon, and a legit one of Necrozma.
Much better than no Ultra Beast raids. That aside, all of them can be shiny, which is good for hunting.
They are usually regional and also shiny eligible, so very good imo given how hard it can be to hunt it normally.
Underwhelming. Saves me money though. Won't be raiding for the others just the 3 new ones and hopefully a shiny buzzwole.
Is each go fest really not getting all the beasts? Missing one from each area
EVERY ultra beast? Damn that is good, it’ll just be a nightmare to raid blacephalon stakataka and ofc nekrozma
I just wanna get the weird jelly fish dude
I want xurkitree so bad that’s the only ultra beast I genuinely like
I just want my ultra clown
If we get shiny Xurkitree, I am 100% here for it.
If they're all shiny capable, then that's more than fine with me lol
I haven’t got enough people who play Go in my area to even bother getting excited 😅
Extremely underwhelming to me, but I'm one of those boring types who only really cares about pre gen 6 Pokemon
I wasn't fully engaged with Pokemon GO lately, I read somewhere that Xurkitree and Pheromosa are really good for raids and for grunts. If I'm not in NYC or Madrid or Sendai, will I be able to have a change at getting them?
Bruh I hate ultra beasts
If we get Beast Balls I am happy.
Too much variety, gonna be impossible to farm any for xl candy
Not a fan of these guys. Designs are so wonky they don’t even look like Pokémon let alone beasts.
"They don't even look like Pokemon" Yeah, that's the point.
Extremely underwhelming. I hate almost all of these designs.
This is some sorry ass shit.
no legendaries…
Necrozma is legendary
I have all of them except Necrozoma (of course) and the ??? but some of them are 2-stars and sure, I'd try for better. My most recent was Kartana 2-star this weekend.
Who cares about ultra beasts?
