Pokemon Go June 2026 Events: Raid Bosses, Community Day, And More

Pokemon Go's latest season, Forever Forward, officially begins on June 2, and the mobile game is ushering it in with a host of events this month. Some fan-favorite legendaries and Mega Pokemon are returning to Raids over the next few weeks, while the elusive ice dragon Frigibax is taking center stage for June's Community Day. That's not all that's happening in the mobile game. Team leaders Spark and Candela are holding their own research quests in June, and another Mega Pokemon will make its debut during a Mega Raid Day later this month.

Frigibax Community Day The ice dragon Frigibax is stepping into the spotlight for this month's Community Day, which takes place on June 20. From 2-5 PM local time, Frigibax will appear in the wild much more frequently than usual, making this a good opportunity to catch the elusive Pokemon.

On top of the increased spawn rate, themed Field Research tasks will be available during the event, which will offer various rewards like Stardust and additional Frigibax encounters. Frigibax's final form, Baxcalibur, will also be able to learn the special Charged Attack Glaive Rush if you can evolve one by 9 PM local time. Finally, a few bonuses will be active throughout the event. You'll earn triple Stardust and double candy each time you catch Pokemon, and any Incense and Lure Modules that you activate will last longer than usual.
