2) Know new mechanics and features during GO Big

The Max Out Season, which will start in Pokemon GO in September 2024, will introduce players to new mechanics and features like Power Spots, Max Battles, Dynamax Pokemon, Max Particles, and more.

3) Join 5-star Raid Battles and Mega Raids

Each month in Pokemon GO, powerhouses, including Legendary and Mega Pokemon, appear in raids. Trainers will be expected to join 5-star Raid Battles and Mega Raids in Pokemon GO in September 2024. The first creature one will face in 5-star raids is the powerful Water-type Pokemon Kyogre.

Mega Absol will take over Gyms hosting Mega Raids during the same period, and this will be the first Mega Evolution for raiders to defeat. Around the third week of September 2024, Groudon will make its way into 5-Star Raid Battles, and Mega Houndoom will emerge in Mega Raids.

These battles will be hard to win on our own in Pokemon GO in September 2024. As such, trainers have to make sure they defeat the Raid Bosses by forming a strong team to counter them.

Lastly, Zacian and Mega Gardevour will be returning to 5-star Raid Battles and Mega Raids, respectively, by the end September. Use high-level counters to defeat them.

4)Catch wild spawns in Spotlight Hour
