Beginning on June 1 and running until September 1 will be the new seasonal event, Season of Go. A variety of Pokémon will appear depending on your location in the world, and you will get multiple rounds of bonuses for playing during this time.

Pokémon Go Fest 2022

As mentioned above, Pokémon Go Fest 2022 is taking place on June 4-5. The mythical Pokémon Shaymin in its Land Forme is debuting alongside Nihilego, who will appear in five-star raids. Axew will also be making its debut with a shiny form. To catch Shaymin, you will choose personalized Special Research to focus on catching, exploring, or battling. Every hour of Go Fest, there will be one of four groups of Pokémon spawning in the wild based on city, plains, rainforest, and tundra habitats. Additionally, if you want to show that you participated in Go Fest this year, you can purchase a themed t-shirt for the event from Niantic.

Additional events

Season of Go and Go Fest are not the only events taking place during June this year. Adventure Week takes place from June 7-12, and the Pokémon Trading Card Game Crossover Event is June 13-30.
