A lot of people are reading these new “Unity Raids” and think Pokemon Go is pulling off some weird new gimmick like Super Mega Raids.
But… it’s absolutely going to be a one time thing just for Go Fest. And it’s all a reference to the original Pokemon Go Trailer.
For anyone that doesn’t remember… here you go:

Specifically, the last ~60 seconds or so show hundreds of trainers fighting a Mewtwo, beating the Mewtwo, and holding up their phones to catch it.
We are basically going to be reenacting that moment from the trailer (well, just ignore that the Commerical takes place in NYC and not where GoFest will actually be).
It’s just a neat homage. That’s it.
