The Path of Legends in Pokémon GO leads towards GO Fest. It is paved with strong Pokémon and bonuses.
GO Fest is of course the highlight among the Pokémon GO events in July 2026. But honestly: The Path of Legends is hardly lacking in bonuses compared to the event, if at all.
When does the Path of Legends start? It kicks off on Monday, July 6th at 00:01. Thus, the Path of Legends overlaps with the birthday event of Pokémon GO.
It ends on July 10th at 23:59.
So we have five days full of bonuses ahead of us. And above all: full of powerful Pokémon. Because just about everything that can be raided appears during the Path of Legends.
Which Pokémon appear in raids?
On Monday you can actually find the majority of all raidable legendary Pokémon or Ultra Beasts. After that, it continues daily with rotating raid pools. The mentioned Pokémon will also appear in raid hours in the evenings.
Interesting: The Pokémon you catch here may have a special background. This also applies until July 12th, so even during GO Fest.
We have the overviews for you in the expandable boxes.
