With so many creatures available, it\u2019s a great time for newcomers to jump into the game or veterans to return to it. The Global Pokemon Go Fest runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, July 11, and Sunday, July 12, and will feature three biomes each day, with their own set of Pokemon. Although there are plenty of opportunities to catch pocket monsters, the real prizes of the event is Mewtwo\u2019s Mega Evolutions \u2013 Mewtwo X and Mewtwo Y \u2013 and Zeraora, a mythical Pokemon that\u2019s available via a Special Research encounter open to everyone.<\/p>\n
