If you’re a big Pokémon fan, you’ll love this news. Three Pokémon that have been out of the spotlight for over two decades will be officially returning to Pokémon Go in a legendary event. These Pokémon marked a generation of players in the 2000s, but they’re so rare that even new players will be excited about their return. Niantic, the game’s developer, promises that these Pokémon will be worth the effort for its players. Find out what these Pokémon are and where you can find them.
The “Ancient Recovered” event — What’s happening and why is it special?
From May 29th to June 4th this year, a major event in the Pokémon universe will take place, “Ancients Recovered”. The event proposes to retrace the journey of capturing 3 legendary Pokémon from the Hoenn generation. These Pokémon are not just any Pokémon, but 3 great titans: Regirock, Regice, and Registeel.
This will be a very important event for Pokémon fans, marking the return of a classic from the games. In addition to the “standard” version of the Titans, the “shiny” version will also be available at the event. The event will be full of free surprises, thinking about the fan experience, such as a research to unlock encounters with these Pokémon.
Get your Pokeballs ready, as this event will have many benefits for those who capture Pokémon, such as acquiring more candy when capturing, especially if it is from as little distance as possible. Without a doubt, this will not be just another event, but a historic moment for fans of the game.
The importance of Regirock, Regice, and Registeel in the Pokémon universe
You’re probably wondering how important these Pokémon are to have a major event centered around them. The biggest impact of the return of these titans that have been missing since 2002 is, without a doubt, the nostalgia they bring. But beyond this feeling, titans are actually extremely strategic Pokémon in the Pokémon Go game. To hunt them, you need an extra dose of patience and be willing to take on a big challenge.
The first appearance of the great titans was in the Pokémon Ruby, Sapphire, and Emerald games, and since then, they have become almost legendary, due to all the mystery behind their appearance, since it was necessary to solve puzzles to unlock them. And that’s why they’re so important to the fans.
For fans, there is an anxiety surrounding what this nostalgic experience will be like now in 2025, with more modernity. They worry that the Pokémon have lost their essence, but Niantic assures that it has combined the most classic elements of its formation with a touch of technology, to ensure that Pro fans and Noobs alike will be satisfied with the hunt for these rare Pokémon.
How to make the most of the event: practical tips
If you’re a Pokémon fan, don’t miss out on this historic event. For those who have already secured their present at the event and also want to secure at least one of the three legendary titans, here are some practical tips that can help you in this difficult mission:
- Focus on five-star raids, where Regi will be present throughout the event. Invite your friends to increase your chances.
- Take advantage of the bonuses in candy and egg distance to evolve and strengthen your Pokémon.
- Complete the Timed Research, which is free and offers guaranteed encounters with all three titans.
Enjoy this unique opportunity to experience a historic moment with the return of the titans after 23 years since their last appearance. If you stopped playing Pokémon Go at some point, now is a special reason to encourage you to come back. Or for those who want to start this journey, now is the ideal time.
