Get ready, Trainers! June 2026 is closing out with some incredibly exciting Pokémon GO events. From the brand new "Flying Taxi" event to an epic showdown with Team GO Rocket, there's a lot of ground to cover. Whether you're exploring your local neighborhood or playing safely from home, here is your ultimate guide to the latest events and how you can maximize your rewards.
1. Flying Taxi & Team GO Rocket Takeover (June 23–29, 2026)
The sky is the limit in the Flying Taxi event! Running from June 23 to June 29, this bird-heavy event brings an influx of Flying-type Pokémon to the wild. But that's not all—trouble is brewing in the skies.
Starting June 25, the Flying Taxi: Taken Over sub-event begins. Team GO Rocket is back with a vengeance.
- Shadow Reshiram: By completing the "Flying Taxi" GO Pass research, you can earn a Super Rocket Radar to track down Giovanni and rescue the incredibly powerful Shadow Reshiram.
- New Shadow Pokémon: Expect to see Team GO Rocket Grunts using new Shadow Pokémon, including Rookidee, Noibat, Seel, and Hoothoot.
Pro Tip: Tracking down specific Team GO Rocket leaders or finding the best Flying-type spawns can be tiring if you live in a rural area. With iAnyMove, you can safely simulate movement and teleport to high-density PokéStop areas like New York or Tokyo without leaving your couch. It’s the perfect tool for trainers who want to rescue Shadow Reshiram without spending all day driving around town!
2. Mega Skarmory Super Mega Raid Day (June 27, 2026)
Mark your calendars! On June 27, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time, Mega Skarmory makes its highly anticipated debut in Super Mega Raids.
Event Bonuses:
- Remote Raid Pass Limit Increased: The limit goes up to 20 passes from June 26 to June 27.
- Free Raid Passes: Spin Gym Photo Discs during the event to receive up to six free Raid Passes!
Mega Skarmory is a formidable Steel/Flying-type. Bring your best Fire and Electric-type counters (like Reshiram or Zekrom) to take it down quickly.
Can't Find Enough Local Raiders?
Finding enough players for a Super Mega Raid can be challenging. If your local gyms are empty, iAnyMove is your best friend. By using iAnyMove's GPS spoofing capabilities, you can instantly teleport to raid hotspots like Zaragoza, Spain, or Pier 39 in San Francisco, where raid lobbies fill up in seconds. It’s the safest, No-Root/No-Jailbreak solution for Android and iOS devices to ensure you never miss a Mega Raid again.
3. Looking Ahead: Global GO Fest (July 2026)
Don't forget to stock up on Poké Balls and items, because the Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global is coming up on July 11–12! This is the biggest event of the year, and you’ll want to be fully prepared.
Whether you're gearing up for GO Fest or just trying to clear your Team GO Rocket radars this week, using a reliable location changer like iAnyMove gives you the flexibility to play Pokémon GO on your own terms.
Stay safe, have fun, and catch 'em all!
