May is almost over and in Pokémon GO, that can mean one thing: it’s time to prepare for a new set of activities coming in June.
Let’s start with the fact that Giovanni almost has Shadow Zapdos in his hands but trainers have a chance to save this Pokémon. From June 1 to June 17, players need to finish the Team GO Rocket Special Research titled “The Higher They Fly.” Once completed, they earn a Super Rocket Radar which can help them go after Giovanni himself.
Community Day
So what else is happening in June? Of course, there’s the monthly Community Day, on June 6, and it features Gible, the Land Shark Pokémon. Bonuses for this day include 3x Catch XP and Incense activated lasting for three hours.

Research Breakthrough
The Research Breakthrough Encounter starts June 1 until July 1. During this period, trainers get to encounter Clamperl in Research Breakthrough encounters. As a bonus, everyone gets to receive a Remote Raid Pass for free. In addition, achieving a Research Breakthrough results in earning twice the XP.
