Hisui Celebration 2025 Recap: Hisuian Zorua Debut and 4x Catch Stardust
By Matt · Published · Updated The Hisui Celebration Ultra Unlock ran from 8 to 13 July 2025. It debuted Hisuian Zorua and Hisuian Zoroark, gave 4x catch Stardust and 4x catch XP, added Space-Time Anomalies that changed wild spawns, boosted shiny odds for Hisuian Voltorb and Qwilfish, and put Unown U in 1-star raids with a shiny boost.
The Hisui Celebration was one of the Ultra Unlock events, and it came with some of the biggest catch bonuses I’ve seen.
What was in the event
- Hisuian Zorua debuted, along with its evolution, Hisuian Zoroark.
- Increased shiny odds for Hisuian Voltorb and Hisuian Qwilfish.
- Unown U in 1-star raids, with a shiny boost.
- Space-Time Anomalies that changed the wild spawns while they were active.
- 4x catch XP.
- 4x catch Stardust.
Why 4x catch Stardust was a big deal
4x catch Stardust meant a minimum of 400 Stardust per catch, or 600 with a Star Piece, and that’s just the base amount. It was a great chance to level up your trainer or top up your Stardust after investing in Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta.
Matt's takeI love it when they do these Ultra Unlocks, the bonuses are always so great.
Zorua got its own Community Day in 2026: see my Zorua Community Day guide.
