There's a nice surprise for Part 3 of Pokemon Go Fest 2021's Ultra Unlock event! Pokemon Go Galar Pokemon will be making their debut later this month — and yes, there will be some Legendary Pokemon.

As with previous years, Pokemon Go has lined up a bunch of special events for its anniversary through the Pokemon Go Fest. This is the game's fifth anniversary and Niantic has some nice surprises this time around — soon, Trainers will be able to play with some iconic 'mons from Pokemon Sword and Shield.

In addition, Trainers might catch the following Shiny variants during this event if they're lucky:

That's not all that's on the way, though! Skwovet and Wooloo will be appearing more frequently in the wild throughout the event. Additionally, you might be able to get some Pokemon Go Galarian Pokemon by hatching 7km eggs — here's who you can hatch:

Naturally, there will also be Timed Research and themed Field Research tasks, some of which will give you the opportunity to capture Galarian-exclusive Pokemon; you can read about everything that's on the way in today's announcement.
