Pokémon Go: Who is the Ultra Recon Squad?

Professor Willow has gone missing on the second day of Pokémon Go Fest 2022. We meet a member of the Ultra Recon Squad in his place. They help us learn about the Ultra Wormholes that emerge in the game, as well as the newest Pokémon, Nihilego. What is the Ultra Recon Squad in Pokémon Go, and what do they do?

Who is the Ultra Recon Squad?

In the Pokémon games Pokémon Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon, the Ultra Recond Squad makes an appearance. They're a group that investigates the many Ultra Beasts that exist beyond the Ultra Wormholes. Because of the appearance of Nihilego, one of the 11 Ultra Beasts, the Ultra Recon Squad has made its way over to Pokémon Go. Not only has Nihilego arrived, but Ultra Wormholes are popping up all over the game, including in the sky and at Gyms, signifying Nihilego's whereabouts.

With Nihileg's appearance, we should expect more Ultra Beasts to appear in Pokémon Go. When they appear, we expect the Ultra Recon Squad to be present for any Special Research jobs involving these Pokémon, as well as aiding you on your adventure, as they were in Rhi's Arrival and A Radiant World.

Professor Willow is unlikely to be replaced by the Ultra Recon Squad in Pokémon. They are the best NPC to help players comprehend Ultra Beasts because they have the most expertise with them. We may expect to see more of them in the future, and their appearance items may become accessible to players as part of events or as in-game store purchases.
