Heatmor and Durant are expected to go live with the other Unova Pokemon on September 16 at 1 p.m. PDT according to Niantic.
You’ll have a small chance of finding a Shiny Patrat and Shiny Lillipup in the wild once the Unova region Pokemon go live. According to research from The Silph Road, the shiny rate for wild encounters is about one in 450. You also have a chance to encounter a Shiny Klink after you defeat it as a Raid Boss.
The release of the Unova Pokemon coincides with week three of the Ultra Bonus event. That means that you’ll also have the opportunity to fight and encounter a Mewtwo with the exclusive move Psystrike in five-star Raid Battles until September 23 at 1 p.m. PDT. You may also find a shiny Mewtwo. According to The Silph Road, your chances of encountering a shiny Legendary Pokemon after a Raid Battle is one in 19. Also appearing in Raids are new Raid Bosses that can serve as counters to Mewtwo when you beat and capture them. Also, Egg Incubators are twice as effective for the duration of the event.
