Pokemon GO has revealed a new Raid Day featuring Hoopa Unbound that will take place on February 15. The current Pokemon GO season began in December last year, and Hoopa Unbound's appearance in the official trailer caught the attention of fans. Since then, the community has been waiting for news about when the Mythical Pokemon will appear again in the game.
Hoopa is a Psychic/Ghost-type introduced in Gen 6 whose design reminds players of a Djinn (or genie). While its best-known form is the Confined, its real form is the Unbound. This form is unleashed after using the Prison Bottle, turning Hoopa into a six-armed bipedal creature and one of the biggest Pokemon ever. In Pokemon GO, players saw Hoopa Confined and Unbound for the first time in 2021, with the Unbound one debuting during the Mischief Unbound event.
Pokemon GO Announces Road to Unova Event
Pokemon GO announces another Unova-themed event, which will be the region featured in this year's Pokemon GO Tour celebrations.
Hoopa Unbound will return to Pokemon GO on the upcoming Raid Day on February 15. The event will take place on a Saturday and will run from 2 pm to 5 pm local time, a period during which trainers will see the Mythical Pokemon more frequently in five-star raids. The upcoming Raid Day will increase the limit of free Raid Passes that Pokemon GO players get when spinning photo discs at Gyms to seven and the limit of Remote Raid Passes to 20, offering more chances to join the event. It's important to note that the Remote Raid Pass limit will only apply from February 14 at 5 pm PST to February 15 at 8 pm PST.

Like Ho-Oh's Shadow Raid Day, Hoopa Unbound's Raid Day will have a $5 ticket, giving players bonuses. One of these benefits will be eight additional Raid Passes obtained by spinning photo discs at Gyms, which added to the free passes will increase the daily limit to 15. The ticket will also increase raid earnings, giving 50% more XP, 2x more Stardust, and boosting the chances of getting Rare Candy XL. These benefits will be valid only on February 15 from 2 pm to 5 pm local time.
