Niantic has announced its latest local and global event, Pokémon GO Ultra Beast Arrival, featuring multiple Ultra Beasts debuting worldwide. Essentially, this latest event is all about Ultra Beasts returning to Pokémon GO, but the best part is that Trainers in all countries can catch and collect them. In addition, the developer has released various global event-exclusive Timed Research tasks and rewards to compete during the Pokémon GO Ultra Beast Arrival event festivities.
Update on 27 November: We added the Timed Research tasks and rewards for the global event.

Finally, for those that have just beaten an Ultra Beast Raid Battle, certain Pokémon will take their place right after, allowing Trainers to continue Raiding. When a Trainer defeats an Ultra Beast in a Raid Battle, Machoke, Scyther, Magmar, Gulpin, Absol, Minccino, Frillish, and Dedenne will appear around the Gym that hosted that Raid. In addition, Scyther, Magmar, Absol, and Minccino will have Shiny variants for Trainers to collect if they're lucky.
And that's all there is to it. For more information, feel free to visit Pokémon GO's official website. Remember, Pokémon GO Ultra Beasts Arrival will only last six hours, from 11:00 am to 5:00 pm local time.
