June Raid Schedule

A new month means a new selection of Raid bosses to challenge.

Between June 3rd and 5th, the island protector Tapu Bulu will be featured in five-star Raids. This presents a great chance to capture one if you’ve been unable to do so before, as each caught Pokemon will know the Charged Attack of the fairy type, Nature’s Madness.

After Tapu Bulu’s departure, Groudon and Kyogre, two legendary Pokemon, will come back. Firstly, you can find Groudon from June 5 to June 14. Following that period, Kyogre will make an appearance from June 14 until June 23. Last but not least, the legendary Cobalion, the Sword of Justice, will appear in the last days of June.

During the month of June, new managers are set to join the Mega Raids. First up is Mega Altaria from June 3rd to 5th, followed by weekly appearances of Mega Abomasnow, Mega Manectric, Mega Beedrill, and Mega Aggron respectively. Additionally, Shadow Regice will be a special weekend raid boss each time.

Just as past highlighted Pokemon, Jangmo-o too will acquire a unique move upon evolving into its ultimate form. If you evolve any Hakamo-o into Kommo-o by June 28, it will learn the dragon-type Charged Attack, Clanging Scales.

Furthermore, the upcoming event provides fresh Timed Quests and Field Research tasks to accomplish, along with a selection of in-game perks.

Plus, there won’t be any restrictions on participating in Remote Raids during the final day of the event. Furthermore, you might find yourself with unique stickers as rewards from gifts and PokeStops.

In contrast, on Sunday, you’ll come across sword-themed Pokémon like Karrablast and Galarian Farfetch’d.
