Pokémon Go promises three new event upgrades, but there's a catch

Pokémon Go Fest is mere days away, and, as always, it promises to be a fun affair for trainers around the globe. It’s an event that’s full of goodies for you if you’re willing to put a bit of work in - hey, no one said becoming a Pokémon master is easy. If you want them shinies, you need to earn them. Do you know what else you can earn? Three new event upgrades with the Pokémon Go Fest Ultra Unlocks global challenges. I don’t know about you, but the promise of three extra Pokémon Go events through July and August sounds great to me, not that I need more of a reason to catch some of Pokémon Go’s best Pokémon. However, trainers around the world have the opportunity to enhance these events, dubbed Hisui Celebration, Steel and Scales, and Origin Raid Day, respectively.

Do that, and Hisui Celebration gets an upgrade when it takes place between July 8 and July 13.
