Pokemon Go's August content update is full of events including the highly awaited Pokemon Go Fest 2023

August has almost begun and that means we’re in the final stretch of Pokémon Go’s Season 11: Hidden Gems. The twelfth one will release on September 1st so trainers have another month to enjoy the festivities the current season has to offer. Special Research and Research Breakthrough events will not be available after August, so it’s best to wrap them up as soon as possible.

August Raids

Going into August, a few Pokémon being featured in raids will be carried over. Five-star raids and mega raids will continue to feature Regidrago and Mega Tyranitar until August 4th. They will then be followed by Cresseilia and Mega Gyarados, and finally Xerneas, Yveltal, and Mega Salamence who will be available in the second half of the month.

Spotlight hours are held every Tuesday in Pokémon Go between 6:00 and 7:00 pm local time. This month’s spotlight Pokémon and bonuses are:

• August 1st – Vulpix with 2x Evolve XP
• August 8th – Paras with 2x Catch Stardust
