In addition to the upcoming Bug-type themed event, some fans may always want to dedicate some of their time to Battle Raids throughout August. The return of Palkia and Genesect open up some interesting metagame options, but that’s just the start. Later in the month Pokemon GO will be bringing Zacian and Zamazenta back to the Legendary rotation. These Pokemon aren’t new debuts, but they are still very popular and will likely make August a big month for Battle Raids.

Those Legendary Battle Raids are likely going to encourage a lot of raid pass uses, but the Mega Battle Raids are bringing some excitement this month, as well. In addition to three confirmed Mega Raid bosses, there’s also a mystery Mega Raid boss hinted at in the schedule, as well. It’s not guaranteed, but this likely means there may be a new Mega debut when August 10 arrives. Players should definitely keep an eye out for updates in the coming week as that rotation approaches.
