The *Ancients Recovered* event in Pokémon GO is set to begin on June 23rd, bringing a thrilling week of legendary raids and exclusive rewards just ahead of Go Fest: Global. Trainers worldwide are invited to reunite with ancient titans as one of the six Regis appears daily in five-star raids, culminating in a full legendary reunion on June 27th.
From Regirock’s stony resilience to Regigigas’ unmatched strength, each legendary giant will be available in raid battles with their signature moveset—including Zap Cannon for Registeel and Thunder Cage for Regieleki—offering a unique challenge and exciting capture opportunities. These aren’t your typical reruns; this is your chance to complete your Regi collection or finally snag one with perfect IVs.

For trainers looking for an extra edge, Max Battles will feature fully Gigantamaxed Galar starters—Rillaboom, Cinderace, and Inteleon—stepping into the six-star raid spotlight. If you're chasing more than just raid trophies, take on the event's repeatable Timed Research tasks centered around the legendary giants. Complete the research line to unlock a surprise encounter of your choice, adding even more value to your adventure.
Want more exclusives? The *Fleeting Legends Ticket* offers a premium experience for $7.99, featuring a special Timed Research quest that leads to a guaranteed encounter with either Galarian Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres. It's a limited-time opportunity to catch all three legendary birds without leaving your neighborhood.
Teamwork makes the dream work during the Global Challenge, active from June 22nd to June 27th. As trainers around the world complete raids and research tasks, global progress unlocks powerful bonuses such as stronger Premier Balls and faster Party Power charging—benefits that last through the entirety of Go Fest.
Keep an eye out for visual surprises too—some raid catches during the event might include new *Pokémon Backgrounds*, functioning as commemorative keepsakes similar to those seen at in-person festival events. While they don't affect gameplay, they’re a stylish way to show off your participation.
