Which events are particularly worth it in July 2021?
GO Fest 2021: The traditionally largest event of the year in Pokémon GO takes place on July 17 and 18. On these two days, there will be special spawns and plenty of bonuses.
- On Saturday of the event, the GO Fest will feature changing habitats that will deliver thematically appropriate Pokémon. Additionally, you can expect a research surrounding the singing Pokémon Meloetta.
- On Sunday, you can expect lots of legendary Pokémon in raids. The GO Fest will bring back all previously available legendary monsters on that day. Again, there will be changing hours where you encounter different monsters.
Raid hours: In the raid hours, you will encounter interesting monsters in July. Defense Form Deoxys has not been available in the game for a long time and is particularly interesting in the PvP League. If you do not have one yet, you can now catch it.
Then Mewtwo will enter the legendary raids – and this monster is always useful; it is one of the best attackers in Pokémon GO. Plus, with some luck, you may encounter its shiny form.
Mewtwo will be followed by an as yet unknown boss. We will have to wait and see who Niantic has in store for the end of the month.
Pokémon GO Anniversary Celebration: The anniversary celebration will be a multi-day event held in honor of the fifth birthday of Pokémon GO. It runs from July 6 to July 15.
The developers will announce what exactly will happen during the event at the beginning of July. Since it is an anniversary, it should be an interesting event. For now, we will have to wait. We will keep you updated here on MeinMMO as soon as more information about the event becomes available.
Which event in July 2021 in Pokémon GO are you looking forward to? Are you hunting for Bidiza again, catching Mewtwo, or do you have completely different monsters in focus this month?
