Everything you need to know about the Ultra Unlock Paldea event in Pokémon Go

The main highlight of Ultra Unlock: Paldea, however, is the release of nine Gen 9 Pokémon:
- Nymble
- Lokix (Evolve Nymble using 50 Nymble Candy)
- Pawmi
- Pawmo (Evolve Pawmi using 25 Pawmi Candy)
- Pawmot (Evolve Pawmo using 100 Pawmi Candy after walking 25km Candy with Pawmo as your buddy)
- Bombirdier
- Frigibax
- Arctibax (Evolve Frigibax using 25 Frigibax Candy)

You can also purchase a pay-to-play timed research quest during Ultra Unlock: Paldea, called I’ve Got Your Back. This quest is $5.00 or the equivalent price in your local currency and, among other rewards, will unlock a Pawmi Backpack for your avatar.
Keep in mind that, due to being a timed research quest, you must complete it before Friday 15th September at 8pm (local time) if you want to earn all of its rewards. Don’t complete the quest and your money will have been wasted.

Unowns A, D, E, L and P are also still appearing in one-star raids as an Ultra Unlock bonus throughout this event.
Alongside these Ultra Unlock bonuses, the following Pokémon will also be appearing more frequently in the wild throughout the event:
