Legendary giants awaken as Pokémon Go summons trainers back into action. Ahead of Go Fest: Global, the week-long Ancients Recovered event starting June 23rd presents the perfect opportunity to prepare raid teams for colossal encounters.

From Regirock to Regigigas, each day will highlight one of the six titans in five-star raids, culminating in a full reunion on June 27th. These aren't simple reruns - captured during the event, these legendaries will know their signature moves, including Registeel's Zap Cannon and Regieleki's Thunder Cage.

Lucky trainers might discover raid catches sporting special Pokémon Backgrounds - unique visual mementos that serve as trophies from this limited-time event, similar to location-based backgrounds from in-person festivals.
