Are you ready to catch some incredible Ultra Beasts with brand new Special Backgrounds in Pokémon GO? Niantic is introducing a fantastic new feature that will allow trainers to earn these unique backgrounds during in-game events, starting with the upcoming “Inbound from Ultra Space Event” and continuing through the highly anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global.

But what exactly are Pokémon Backgrounds? These special images appear behind a Pokémon when looking at its details screen, serving as a memorable reminder of when and where you caught that particular Pokémon. Previously, these backgrounds were only available to those attending real-world events or participating in special in-game events. However, Niantic is expanding this feature to include a wider selection of backgrounds called Special Backgrounds.

During the “Inbound from Ultra Space” event, which runs from July 8th to July 13th, trainers will have the opportunity to earn Special Backgrounds from specific Ultra Beasts in five-star raids. Simply make a successful catch during this event, and you could receive one of these unique backgrounds. Don't miss out on this exciting event – it's a chance to catch some rare Pokémon with special backgrounds that will make your collection truly stand out.

Additionally, during Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global, trainers will have even more opportunities to earn Special Backgrounds. On July 13th, Necrozma, Solgaleo, and Lunala will be available in five-star raids, each offering a chance to receive a Special Background upon capture. Ticket-holding trainers will also have the exclusive opportunity to encounter Solgaleo or Lunala with a Special Background as part of their Special Research. And if you manage to fuse Necrozma with a Special Background, the resulting Dusk Mane Necrozma or Dawn Wings Necrozma will have its own unique variant of the background.

These events offer a fantastic opportunity for trainers to enhance their Pokémon collection with these rare and visually striking backgrounds. Keep an eye out for more Special Background events in the future, and make sure to participate in these exciting in-game events to catch Ultra Beasts with Special Backgrounds ahead of Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global!
