The Global iteration of the Pokemon GO Tour: Hoenn is coming online worldwide, and players will finally be able to participate in all that it has to offer. The event is slated to be a celebration of everything Hoenn, along with the debut of the Primal Reversion mechanic in-game and an event-exclusive Special Research story for players to complete.

The aforementioned Primal Reversion mechanic is a unique transformation undergone by Kyogre and Groudon, where they transform into a more primitive form, absorbing the energy of nature to increase its power according to the lore. Pokemon GO trainers worldwide will finally be able to encounter Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre in Primal Raids and earn Primal Energy.
