More than two years of accurate predictions for the June Community Day and Pokémon GO Fest Shiny drops have led us to this moment.

Stay tuned for more details about June Community Day and beyond!

I am certain that June will be Goomy Community Day. This hasn't been announced, but looking at Niantic's pattern, I have been able to predict the June Community Day choice and the biggest GO Fest Shiny release two years in a row. In my article "Prediction Confirmed: Pokémon GO Axew Community Day In June 2023," I looked back on my 2022 prediction:

That's another Pokémon GO prediction that has come true! Last year, I wrote, "Will Niantic stick to this pattern in Pokémon GO? If so, I'd expect Axew Community Day next June with Shiny Goomy as a major chase of Pokémon GO Fest 2023. What do you think?" Well, after predicting Deino Community Day for June 2022 and Axew Community Day for June 2023, I'd say buckle in! First, let's talk about Axew Community Day!

I later predicted Goomy as the GO Fest 2023 Shiny drop, which ended up happening. Next, I believe we will see Goomy Community Day in June 2024, and my prediction of Shiny Jangmo-o has already been confirmed for GO Fest 2024. If the pattern holds true, June 2025 Community Day will feature Jangmo-o with GO Fest 2025 dropping Shiny… well, if we were going in regional order, it would be Dragapult, but now it's looking more likely to be Frigibax.
