Hoopa Form Change update
With the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day, Niantic is lifting the restriction from changing Hoopa's form. Earlier, trainers needed to have to complete the Mischief Unbound Special Research to get the option for changing forms. That will no longer be the case with the upcoming event. Niantic also confirmed that trainers will be able to transfer Hoopa Unbound to Pokemon HOME with this event.
