Pokemon Go's July 2023 content update brings numerous events as we draw closer to the 7th anniversary celebrations

Just like that, we’ve already gone past the first month of Pokémon Go’s Season 11: Hidden Gems. June saw events like the Axew Community Day, Bech Week, and the Solstice Horizons event. July promises the same amount of action as we close in on the AR Game’s seventh anniversary.

July Raids

Beginning June 29th itself, numerous legendary and really powerful Pokemon will feature in five-star and Mega Raid battles. Heatran and Mega Sableye kick these raids off as they are part of the upcoming Dark Flames event. Raid Hours will be between 6:00 and 7:00 pm local time.
