The Road of Legends is live in Pokémon GO right now — and if you have not checked your nearby raid gyms yet today, it is time to put that right. Every Legendary Pokémon, Ultra Beast, and Primal ever to feature in five-star raids is back, rotating daily through July 10, with a dedicated Raid Hour tonight at 6pm SGT.

What Is the Road of Legends?

Running from 12:01am on Monday 6 July to 11:59pm on Friday 10 July (local time), the Road of Legends is Niantic’s official hype-up week before Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global on the weekend of 11–12 July. According to Niantic, it is designed to let trainers stock up on Legendary candy and optimise their raid squads before the biggest Pokémon GO event of the year — and this year GO Fest Global is completely free for all trainers, meaning the whole Singapore community can jump in without spending a cent on a ticket.

Any Pokémon caught from five-star raids between 6 and 12 July has a chance to come with a brand-new Special Background — the new in-game collectible art introduced for GO Fest 2026. That alone makes this the most visually rewarding raid week Pokémon GO has ever run.

Road of Legends Daily Raid Schedule

Each day brings a different rotation of five-star and Mega raid bosses, with a Raid Hour from 6pm to 7pm every evening (Primal Raid Hour on Friday runs 7pm–8pm instead). Here is the full week:

• Monday 6 July (Today) — 50+ Legendary Pokémon and Ultra Beasts in five-star raids: the Legendary Birds, Legendary Beasts, Dialga, Palkia (standard formes), Genesect variants, Tapu guardians, and more. Mega Salamence in Mega Raids. Raid Hour: 6–7pm.
• Tuesday 7 July — White Kyurem, Zekrom, Dawn Wings Necrozma (five-star); Mega Tyranitar (Mega). Raid Hour: 6–7pm.
• Wednesday 8 July — Black Kyurem, Reshiram, Dusk Mane Necrozma (five-star); Mega Gardevoir (Mega). Raid Hour: 6–7pm.
• Thursday 9 July — Crowned Sword Zacian, Crowned Shield Zamazenta (five-star); Mega Gengar (Mega). Raid Hour: 6–7pm.
• Friday 10 July — Origin Forme Dialga, Origin Forme Palkia (five-star); Primal Kyogre and Primal Groudon (Primal Raids). Primal Raid Hour: 7–8pm.

Friday is the crown jewel: Origin Forme Dialga and Origin Forme Palkia are two of the strongest Pokémon in the entire GO meta, and catching either one this week activates the Elite TM window described below.

Elite TM Alert — Spacial Rend and Roar of Time

For a limited window from July 6 through July 12, Trainers can use an Elite Charged TM to teach Origin Forme Palkia the Charged Attack Spacial Rend, or teach Origin Forme Dialga the Charged Attack Roar of Time. Both are the signature moves for each Pokémon and their best-in-slot option for raids and GO Battle League. If you already have either one sitting in your storage from a past event, now is your confirmed window to give them the move they deserve.

Special Backgrounds — A Brand-New Collectible

Pokémon caught from five-star, Primal, and Mega Raid Battles between 6 and 12 July have a chance to come with a Special Background — a new category of in-game artwork that displays behind your Pokémon on the storage screen. These exist purely as a visual collectible, but they mark your Pokémon as caught during this specific event window in a very visible way. Singapore trainers doing organised raid groups this week will be seeing a lot of them — and missing the window means no Special Background until Niantic brings the feature back for a future event.

All the Event Bonuses Running Through July 12

These bonuses are active from Road of Legends straight through the end of GO Fest Global:

• No Remote Raid Pass cap — remote-raid with friends in Singapore or anywhere else, as many times as you like.
• 2 free Raid Passes daily by spinning Photo Discs at Gyms (the usual daily cap is one).
• Enhanced Premier Ball catch rates after every raid.
• Faster Party Power charge in raids — co-ordinate your throws and you will land the bonus sooner.
• Special event stickers from PokéStops and Gifts.

Where Singapore Trainers Should Head Tonight

Raid Hour starts at 6pm SGT every evening this week. The usual hotspots will be busy: gyms along Marina Bay waterfront, the cluster around Dhoby Ghaut MRT, the Botanic Gardens, and Clarke Quay all tend to see organised raid groups during major events. Jewel Changi Airport is a popular indoor option for weekend sessions, especially with the air-conditioning. Check your local Pokémon GO Singapore Telegram or Discord groups for any raid trains forming tonight — Monday’s mass-legendary Raid Hour is the widest one of the week, and five-star raids are easiest when you walk in with a full group of six.

And here is the final motivation: Mega Mewtwo X and Y make their Pokémon GO world debut at GO Fest Global on 11–12 July. They are the most powerful Mega Evolutions in the game, and this Road of Legends week is your prep time. Get your Legendary candy, secure your Elite TMs, and come back this weekend ready.
