The third portion of Ultra Unlock will be active in Pokemon GO from August 20th through the 31st, and the focus will be on Pocket Monsters from the Galar region.

As a part of this special event, trainers will have the first chance ever to catch several Pokemon making their debut in the mobile game. One of these is the highly-sought after Falinks, a uniquely designed Fighting-type Pokemon.

Once Ultra Unlock Part 3 commences on August 20th at 10:00 a.m. local time, players will be able to encounter Falinks in the wild. However, there is a more sure-fire way for Pokemon GO trainers to garner an attempt at catching Falinks.

By completing Field Research tasks during the Ultra Unlock Part 3 event, players will be rewarded with a Falinks encounter. If doing Field Research tasks isn't up a player's alley, they will also have an opportunity to take on Falinks in raids.

From August 20th through the 26th, Falinks will feature as three-star raid boss. That means all a player has to do to catch Falinks is defeat it in a raid battle, because afterwards they'll be rewarded with a chance to catch it.

Falinks will make an important addition to any Pokemon GO player's Pokedex. Though the Pokemon doesn't have any known evolutions, it certainly makes for a unique piece in a trainer's collection.
