Pokemon GO

July 2022 is already underway and, although the early summer's biggest event is over, there's still plenty of excitement happening in Pokemon GO. The mobile AR game is experience a big anniversary event during the July 2022 PoGO celebrations and that's just one small fraction of this month's activities for players to enjoy. The battle raid scene is also experiencing an interesting throwback at the Legendary tier.

Fans of Gen 1 may be excited to see that the July 2022 Legendary and Mega Raid schedule for Pokemon GO is bringing the trio of Kanto birds back into the spotlight. Some players may be sick of catching Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres at this point, but the chance for a shiny encounter is usually enough to get collectors out and active during these throwback Battle Raid months.

The Legendary Battle Raids will bring in Dialga towards the end of the month who, although also not a debut, is at least a bit newer and more exciting to some veteran players than the original trio. As always, there will be a rotation of Mega Raid bosses as well to offer players a chance to grind some Mega Energy this month by battling foes like Charizard X, Gengar, and others.
