Pokémon GO Announces Raids & Events For September 2024

The newly announced Max Out season of Pokémon GO begins this September with Shiny Zacian making its debut in Tier Five Raids.



Article Summary

  • Max Out season begins in September 2024 with a focus on Galar and Dynamax Pokémon.

Niantic has announced the new Season of Pokémon GO: Max Out. This season will focus on Galar and Dynamax Pokémon. Though we did have a brief peek at Galar when Niantic hosted Dialga and Palkia-themed events that played with space and time, giving us early encounters with species from Galar, Max Out is now giving us a proper generation rollout. Here's what's going on during September, the first month of this three-month-long season.
