July 2024 is one of the most action packed months in Pokémon GO for some time. We've got a huge amount of Ultra Beasts coming to Raids, the return of Shadow Entei and some really exciting events and Spotlight Hours. Plus, Pokémon GO Fest Global is finally here too.
So, what should you be looking out for in Pokémon GO this July?

July 2024 brings several exciting Pokémon GO events. We've got the long awaited Pokémon GO Fest: Global, Tynamo Community Day and a series of Ultra Unlock events.
We don't yet know exactly what the Ultra Unlock events will have in store. However, it is likely that Trainers will be able to unlock these through Pokémon GO Fest: Global.
Perhaps the most exciting Ultra Unlock event is the Mega Raid Day. We don't yet know what Pokémon this could be. It might even be the release of a brand new Mega Pokémon... however, the 11am - 5pm time implies this could once again be Elite Raids.

Mega Raids
 Mega Swampert July 8 - 23 |  Mega Aggron July 23 - August 3 |
Nothing mind-blowing for July 2024 Mega Raids in Pokémon GO sadly. The focus is obviously on the huge amount of Five Star Raids, so Mega Pokémon are on the backseat this month.
Shadow Raids
Pokémon GO Shadow Raids in July 2024 will see Shadow Entei available, with the Shiny version released. This is a very strong Shadow Pokémon and if you can get a group together, another good use of your time in Pokémon GO this month.
Other highlights
As always, there will be a range of Pokémon GO Spotlight Hours in July 2024. July 16th's Spotlight Hour will have 2x Transfer Candy, a great chance to clear out your extra Pokémon from GO Fest. Additionally, July 30th will have 2x Catch Stardust.
Finally, don't forget to grab a ticket for Pokémon GO Fest if you haven't already, time is running out!
