Summary
Times Square hosted a one-off Pokemon GO Unity Raid in which 1,000-plus players battled Mega Mewtwo Y, turning the game’s 10th-anniversary celebration into a live recreation of its original Mewtwo showdown promise.
Massive billboards synced with players’ phones throughout the raid, showing avatars, attacks and the shield-break mechanic as participants raised their devices to help defeat Mewtwo.
Scopely Explore framed the event as the payoff to a 10-year vision first teased before launch, after executives Ed Wu and Michael Steranka reflected on the game’s history, early failures and community growth.
The spectacle came alongside Pokemon GO Fest Global 2026, which the company billed as one of the game’s biggest events, with Mega Mewtwo as the centerpiece across two days of raids and wild spawns.
