Fresh off exploring time distortions and capturing Hisuian Zorua, Pokémon Go unveils its next Ultra Unlock event. Steel and Scales launches on July 22nd, introducing Kalos region stars Honedge, Doublade, and Aegislash to the game for the first time.
The second Ultra Unlock event delivers generous bonuses, including 4x XP and Stardust for catching Pokémon, alongside increased Shiny odds for Bagon, Beldum, and Unown U in raids. However, the real highlights lie beyond these rewards.
A major feature is the inclusion of Honedge and its evolutions in the Go Battle League. From Rank Six during the event, and Rank 16 afterward, players can earn these Pokémon via reward tracks, with enhanced odds on the premium route.
Wild spawns lean toward steel and dragon-type Pokémon, with Magnemite, Dratini, Aron, Noibat, and Ferroseed appearing more frequently. Lucky trainers might encounter Shiny Rookidee for the first time, while Axew and Goomy offer rare challenges for dedicated hunters.
Raids see a robust refresh, with Honedge joining One-Star raids alongside Unown U, Gible, Klink, and Deino. The Three-Star lineup features Skarmory, Bisharp, Dragalge, and Turtonator. Not all are Shiny-eligible, so check the raid schedule carefully if you’re hunting for shines.

Themed Field Research Tasks and Collection Challenges complete the event, offering XP, Stardust, and additional encounters for organized players. The event runs until July 27th, providing nearly a week to unlock all its offerings.
