The event is set to begin on November 9, 2022, at 10:00 am local time and will run until November 17, 2022, at 8:00 pm local time. This gives players plenty of time to get their mittens on the new Ultra Beast in five-star raids.

The official Twitter handle of Pokemon GO Japan recently shared this week's schedule for the game. The post confirmed that Hoopa Unbound will once again appear in Elite Raids.

The special raids are a new, challenging variety added to the game. Niantic explained that they appear in the form of special Raid Eggs that need 24 hours to hatch. Once a Raid Egg has hatched, a Raid Boss will appear for 30 minutes.

Players must keep in mind that Elite Raid Bosses can only be fought in person.
