Mega Mewtwo Y Headlines Compensation Event for Pokemon GO Fest 2026 Glitch
The compensation event offers a full day of Mega Raids featuring Mega Mewtwo Y and removes Remote Raid limits, a direct response to the Fest's technical failure.
Reporting from 1 source: GAME Watch (Impress).
Niantic will hold a compensation event on July 26 for glitches during Pokemon GO Fest 2026: Global. The event features Mega Mewtwo Y in Mega Raids and lifts Remote Raid restrictions for all Trainers. The original Fest's second day saw Raid Battle issues in some time zones, prompting the makeup day.
The makeup event runs from 10:00 to 19:00 on July 26, a single day dedicated to re-running the Raid Bosses from the original Pokemon GO Fest 2026: Global. Niantic and The Pokemon Company are lifting Remote Raid restrictions for all Trainers from 5:00 July 26 to 4:00 July 27 JST, covering Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East, and Africa up to UTC+0. The glitch occurred on the second day of the Fest (July 12) in some time zones, blocking Raid participation. The compensation is a direct response to that disruption.
