Niantic has detailed some of the content coming to Pokémon Go throughout July, including a special Pokémon Go Anniversary event and the return of Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres to five-star raids.
We already got confirmation that July’s Community Day would feature Starly, but now we know that the Pokémon Go Anniversary event will run from July 6 to 12, with more details to be shared next week. Additionally, a mystery event is scheduled for July 27 to Aug. 2 and it will be revealed later in July.
Niantic is also reminding players that Go Fest: Berlin, July 1 to 3, and Go Fest: Seattle, July 22 to 25, are both taking place as additional Go Fest events in July. This will provide players around the world with some additional content like Global Challenges, which will help achieve more Ultra Unlock bonuses that could play into future events.
The majority of the monthly five-star and Mega Raid content is just cycling through returning Pokémon, while a new set of Spotlight Hours is set to run every Tuesday from 6 to 7pm local time with one featured Pokémon and some bonuses. Here is a full list for all three of those rotations.
