July’s main event is, of course, Go Fest 2026: Global! This event will be free for everyone, so make sure you login and play. It’s worth doing even if you’re busy, because you’ll unlock a Special Research quest which will reward you with a Zeraora encounter. Still, there’s other exciting events in July too, like the Raichu Super Mega Raid Day.<\/p>\n

\n
\n
\nThe Flying Taxi event<\/a> is currently running and its brought Squawkabilly<\/a>, along with its various colours, to Pok\u00e9mon Go! The Forever Forward<\/a> season is here, so it’s a good idea to know the June event schedule<\/a>. Go Fest 2026: Global<\/a> is just around the corner!
\n
\nThere’s a lot to do in Pok\u00e9mon Go outside of the current event! From the Go Battle League<\/a>, Remote Trading<\/a>, Pok\u00e9Stop Showcase<\/a>, Routes<\/a> and Max Battles<\/a>. Don’t forget to catch rare Pok\u00e9mon<\/a> while you’re at it.

Pok\u00e9mon Go Legendary Raid schedule for July 2026<\/p>\n

Here’s the Legendary<\/a> five-star raid<\/a> schedule for July 2026 in Pok\u00e9mon Go:<\/p>\n

Date
\nPok\u00e9mon
\nShiny?<\/p>\n

Wednesday 1st to Sunday 5th July
Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th July
\nArticuno<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 1st to Sunday 5th July
Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th July
\nZapdos<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 1st to Sunday 5th July
Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th July
\nMoltres<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 15th to Tuesday 21st July
\nKyogre<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 22nd to Tuesday 28th July
\nSolgaleo<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 29th July to Tuesday 4th August
\nKyurem<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

My recommendation for July’s five-star raid boss to focus on is Kyurem. It’s a good very-close-to-the-top-tier Ice-type, but, more importantly, getting a strong Kyurem leads to having a powerful Black or White Kyurem if you’ve got enough Fusion Energy to spare.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Go Mega Raid schedule for July 2026<\/p>\n

Below you’ll find the Mega Raid schedule for July 2026 in Pok\u00e9mon Go:<\/p>\n

Date
\nPok\u00e9mon
\nShiny<\/p>\n

Wednesday 1st to Sunday 5th July
Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th July
\nMega Lucario<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 15th to Tuesday 21st July
\nMega Sceptile<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 22nd to Tuesday 28th July
\nMega Salamence<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Wednesday 29th July to Tuesday 4th August
\nMega Aggron<\/a>
\nYes<\/p>\n

Remember – you don’t catch a Mega Evolution<\/a> from a Mega Raid. Instead, you get the Mega Energy for that Pok\u00e9mon and an encounter with their regular form.<\/p>\n

Mega Lucario is the obvious choice when it comes to which Mega Evolution you should focus on this month. Don’t forget about the global release of Mega Mewtwo X and Y during Go Fest 2026: Global though! Or the fact that Mega Raichu X and Y will also be released during July. (It’s quite a stacked month for Mega Evolutions when you think about it.)<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Go Max Battle schedule for July 2026<\/p>\n

Here’s the Max Battle schedule for July 2026 in Pok\u00e9mon Go:<\/p>\n

Date
\nPok\u00e9mon
\nShiny<\/p>\n

Monday 6th to Sunday 12th July
\nChansey
\nYes<\/p>\n

Monday 13th to Sunday 19th July
\nDeino
\nYes<\/p>\n

Monday 20th to Sunday 26th July
\nTrubbish
\nYes<\/p>\n

Monday 27th to Sunday 2nd August
\nHoothoot
\nYes<\/p>\n

Don’t forget to check on the Max Monday<\/a> schedule.<\/p>\n

I recommend taking the time to catch a Dynamax Deino or two. Its final evolution, Hydreigon, can still pack a punch in the game’s meta so having a Dynamax version you can use in Max Battles<\/a> wouldn’t do you any harm.<\/p>\n

Pok\u00e9mon Go Shadow Raid schedule for July 2026<\/p>\n

Shadow Palkia will be appearing in 5-star Shadow Raids in July.<\/p>\n

Shadow Palkia can be shiny!<\/p>\n

Thankfully, this planning has been made a little easier due to how you can now use Remote Raid Passes for Shadow Raids. (If you’ve got the Pok\u00e9Coin to buy the passes, that is\u2026) Still, we recommend taking a quick read on how Shadow Raids work<\/a> so you’re prepared for the fight.<\/p>\n

Hope you enjoy July 2026 in Pok\u00e9mon Go!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"July 2026 marks the tenth anniversary of Pok\u00e9mon Go! Can you believe it?
