GO Fest 2026 Raid Makeup Fixes the Sunday Raid Outage
The GO Fest 2026 Raid Makeup event runs Sunday, July 26, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time, compensating Trainers who hit raid-join errors during GO Fest 2026: Global. For eligible regions (Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, up to and including UTC+0), the full Sunday raid lineup returns — including Mega Mewtwo Y Super Mega Raids. The unlimited Remote Raid removal, however, applies to all Trainers worldwide, making this a global catch-up opportunity.
Who Is Eligible — and What Everyone Gets
- Eligible regions (UTC+14 through UTC+0): Full Sunday raid makeup with Mega Mewtwo Y Super Mega Raids and the complete Legendary rotation.
- All Trainers worldwide: No Remote Raid limit from Saturday, July 25 at 1:00 p.m. PDT to Sunday, July 26 at 12:00 p.m. PDT.
The original outage did not consume Raid Passes, but it blocked Trainers from joining raids normally — hence the makeup rather than a full rerun.
Makeup Bonuses
- Up to nine free Raid Passes per day from Gym Photo Disc spins
- More effective Premier Balls for post-raid catches
- Link Charge cap increased to 2,000
- Special Backgrounds possible from five-star and Mega Raids, plus Mewtwo from Super Mega Raids
Road of Legends Deluxe Pass holders also get +5,000 XP, +3 Candy, and +1 Candy XL from five-star-and-up raids during the event.
The Raid Lineup (Three-Hour Blocks)
The Sunday rotation returns in three windows:
| Time (local) | Featured bosses |
|---|---|
| 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. | Regirock, Regice, Registeel, Origin Dialga, Origin Palkia, Heatran, Regigigas, Tornadus, Thundurus, Landorus, Enamorus, Regieleki, Regidrago |
| 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. | Deoxys, Genesect, Nihilego, Buzzwole, Pheromosa, Xurkitree, Celesteela, Kartana, Guzzlord, Necrozma, Stakataka, Blacephalon, Tapu Koko/Lele/Bulu/Fini |
| 4:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. | Latias, Latios, Cresselia, Darkrai, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Zacian, Zamazenta |
Mega Mewtwo Y appears in Super Mega Raids throughout, with up to 10 shields — bring a Mega Evolved Pokémon (not a Primal) to break each shield.
Best Plan for the Makeup
- Pre-build a Mewtwo counter roster (Bug, Dark, Ghost types) before 10:00 a.m.
- Use unlimited Remote Raids to hit every region's boss pool if you missed Global.
- Spin Gyms for nine free passes to stretch your Remote Raid stack.
- Prioritize Special Background hunts on five-star and Mega raids.
Final Thought
The Raid Makeup is a rare "second chance" at GO Fest Sunday — and the worldwide Remote Raid lift means even ineligible regions can raid hard that weekend. Assemble your counters, top off your passes, and grab that Shiny Mewtwo. Happy hunting, trainers!
