A new month has arrived, which means a new slate of events to look forward to in Pokemon Go. The mobile game has a variety of activities lined up for the final month of its Max Out season, including new Spotlight Hours and a Mankey Community Day.
That’s not all that’s happening this month. On top of that, a handful of legendary Pokemon from the Galar region will make an encore appearance in raid battles, including Regieleki and Regidrago. Origin Forme Dialga and Palkia will also appear as raid bosses this month, giving you another chance to add these rare legendaries to your collection.
We’ve put together a rundown of all the biggest events happening in Pokemon Go this month below.
