Pokémon Go's June content update is jam-packed with new additions

| Pokemon GO
  • Pokémon Go's June update is right around the corner
  • Shadow Regice, Gigantamax Inteleon and Gigantamax Cinderace are featured
  • And there's a whole host of five-star raids, max battles and other additions

While for many of us the experience of what should be the lovely pre-summer weather has been spoiled by some serious rain, there's still plenty of hot new additions coming. And not only is Pokémon Go, GO-ing on the road, it's also set to introduce some major new additions for its June update.

To start, we have three new featured Pokémon, with Shadow Regice, Gigantamax Inteleon and Gigantamax Cinderace. These three will be joined by five featured Dynamax battles: Chansey (June 2nd), Machop (9th-15th), Hatenna (16th-22nd), Caterpie (23rd-29th) and Shuckle (30th-July 6th), making an appearance throughout the month in Max Battles, and at certain times over Power Spots.

Naturally, it wouldn't be a major update without some new five-star Raids to take on either. Tapu Bulu (June 3rd-5th), Groudon (5th-14th), Kyogre (14th-23rd) and Cabalion (30th-July 8th) will all also be making an appearance throughout June, with Shiny versions available to lucky trainers.

As you might expect, the starring Pokémon for Shadow Raids is none other than Shadow Regice, who'll be popping up during weekends in June. They'll be joined by Mega Raids featuring mega versions of Altaria (June 3rd-5th), Abomasnow (5th-14th), Manectric (14th-23rd), Beedrill (23rd-30th) and Aggron (30th-8th).

And don't forget the upcoming events! Serene Retreat is the closest, taking place from May 30th to June 3rd. But throughout the month, you can also look forward to Instrumental Wonders, Phantom Ruins, Community Days and a mystery event, among others that are livening up the rainy pre-summer for Pokémon fans!
