It’s time to cap off the World of Wonders season with one last round of events, with Niantic stacking May with a few unique opportunities leading into Pokémon Go Fest 2024. This means more Ultra Beasts, more Legendaries, and an entire week dedicated to rivalries for you to dig into.
Starting with a Pokémon Go Battle Weekend and Rivals Week on May 4, Niantic wants May to live up to the World of Wonders moniker that this season has gone by. Catching Wonders will be a new event type and the Ultra Space Wonders event will finally introduce Blacephalon and Stakataka to the game, though with one big catch—all leading up to Go Fest 2024: Sendai kicking off the Go Fest lineup on May 30. So if you want a full overview of what events Pokémon Go has running in May, we have your bag packed and ready to go.
