Most monthly Pokémon Go events have the usual offerings. You can expect to see a Community Day every month, and there are usually a few events that cater towards a new Pokémon reveal and, at times, a new mechanic.

Usually, when Niantic reveals the events ahead of time, not much information is known about the contents of each one. Sure, stuff like Community Day, Mega Raid Days, Research Days, and the usual offering are easy to guess, but most of the events are a mystery until closer to the start date and time when Niantic reveals what Pokémon and offerings trainers can expect. Sometimes, there are even completely hidden events with no names, just adding to the mystery.

Several months also host a massive in-person event, whether a Go Fest or something on a small scale. And you almost always have something tied to the season, whether it’s Summer, Halloween, or Christmas. So, every month, something thematic is on offer.

Additionally, depending on what new feature is available, whether Mega or Gigantamax, there’s always something new Niantic is trying to push to keep trainers interested. So long as the team doesn’t screw it up somehow and needs to force out a makeup event of some kind to add to the schedule.

As with usual months, there is a lot to look forward to this time around, so be prepared to make time to grab all the new Pokémon and hopefully snag a few new Shiny Pokémon along the way.
