A second chance to get your hands on Hoopa Unbound in Pokémon GO.
Hoopa Unbound is finally returning to Pokémon GO. We've not seen Hoopa Unbound in Pokémon GO since 2022, when it appeared in the controversial Elite Raid system. That means for most Trainers, even those who have played for a long time, this Raid Day will be the first time they've ever encountered Hoopa Unbound.
While Hoopa Unbound can't be shiny, it is also a pretty powerful Psychic-type Raid Attacker so is still well worth grinding for across this Raid Day event.
Here's all the details behind the Hoopa Unbound Raid Day in Pokémon GO.
Hoopa Unbound Pokémon GO Raid Day
Hoopa Unbound Raid Day takes place from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m on Saturday, Feb. 15.

Event Bonuses
The following bonuses will be in effect during the Raid Day.
- Hoopa Unbound will appear more frequently in five-star raids.
- Receive up to five additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs (for a total of seven).
- The Remote Raid Pass limit will increase to 20 from Friday, February 14, at 5:00 p.m. PST to Saturday, February 15, 2025, at 8:00 p.m. PST.
Event Ticket
Like most Raid Day events, there will be a Hoopa Unbound Raid Day Event Ticket to help you make the most of the event. It will be priced at $5, and will grant the following bonuses:
- Eight additional Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs (for a daily total of 15)
- Increased chance to get Rare Candy XL from Raid Battles
- 50% more XP from Raid Battles
- 2× Stardust from Raid Battles
This ticket is value for money if you plan to do a lot of Raids. The eight additional Raid Passes would set you back more than $5, and the extra XP and Stardust, plus the hugely valuable Rare Candy XL overall makes this a worthwhile purchase. If you only plan to do a couple of Raids, then it wouldn't be worth it.
