Niantic teases the creature that will be featured in the upcoming Pokemon GO Community Day, which will happen in the first half of June.
The Shared Skies season will begin in Pokemon GO on June 1 and run until September 3. During this time, players will get season-long bonuses. Trainers will get increased XP for the first catch of the day, along with being able to make one additional daily special trade. Players level 31 and over will also have a higher chance of receiving Candy XL from their buddy Pokemon. The Pokemon encountered through the weekly research rewards will include Hisuian Growlithe, Larvitar, Audino, Axew, Furfrou and Jangmo-o. Players will have a chance to catch each of these in their shiny form, including Jangmo-o, as the Gen-7 Dragon-type will debut its shiny form shortly after GO Fest 2024.

Alola’s Ultra Beasts Kartana, Pheromosa, Buzzwole, and Nihilego will return to raids and be joined by Mega Rayquaza, who hasn’t been in the game since last year’s Go Fest.

After a test run via an April Fools' joke on Google Maps, Pokemon GO was released to the public in the summer of 2016. The AR mobile app saw unparalleled success and continues to be one of the largest mobile games in the world, pulling in billions for developer Niantic.
