Niantic has announced that in the Ultra Unlock Part 3: Sword and Shield event being held now in Pokémon GO, Falinks was to appear in three-star raids until September 1, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time. However, due to a bug causing Falinks to appear distorted during raids, it has been removed from raids. To replace Falinks, Machamp will be appearing in three-star raids from August 20, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to August 26, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Gengar will then be appearing in three-star raids from August 26, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to September 1, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time.
Falinks will now be appearing more frequently in the wild during the event and Falinks can still be encountered after you complete event-exclusive Field Research tasks.
