Inbound from Ultra Space ran July 8–13, 2024, and its Timed Research is no longer available. This historical guide lists the nine free raid milestones and encounters, explains the expired ticket track, and records the deadlines that applied during the event.
Free Timed Research: raid wins and Ultra Beast encounters
The free track awarded one Ultra Beast encounter at each milestone, for a total of nine encounters after winning raids at the listed thresholds. The encounters did not have Special Backgrounds, according to Leek Duck’s archived event guide.
| Raids won | Encounter reward |
|---|---|
| 2 | Blacephalon |
| 3 | Stakataka |
| 4 | Guzzlord |
| 5 | Nihilego |
| 6 | Kartana |
| 7 | Celesteela |
| 8 | Xurkitree |
| 9 | Pheromosa |
| 10 | Buzzwole |
Serebii’s archived task listing independently records the same milestone-to-encounter sequence.
Premium Timed Research rewards
