Niantic has officially revealed the next season of Pokemon Go, called Shared Skies. The announcement came in the form of a short teaser trailer, dropping after the Pokemon VGC Los Angeles Regionals, and now Niantic has lifted the lid on the entire event.

Shared Skies alludes to the increase in Ultra Wormholes, as well as the return of Mega Rayquaza, as the Dragon-type Legendary, Necrozma, and several other Ultra Beasts have been the focus of most marketing so far. But, there’s always bound to be some surprises in store.

So, here’s everything we know about Pokemon Go Shared Skies.

Pokemon Go Shared Skies reveal trailer

The Pokemon Company revealed the name Shared Skies alongside a reveal trailer that shows the inclusion of Ultra Wormholes, Ultra Beasts, and the return of Mega Rayquaza for the first time since Pokemon Go Fest 2023

There aren’t many new Pokemon revealed in the short teaser, but the focus on Ultra Beasts seems to indicate they will be promoted heavily in the coming months, while a quick glance at Mega Rayquaza also seems to confirm its return.

It’s confirmed that Pokemon Go’s Shared Skies season will run from June 1, 2024, until September 3, 2024. Like other seasons, and the previous season World of Wonders, this is around 3 months of events and challenges, all under one umbrella and overarching theme.

At the time of writing, there is no confirmation on what the next season will be. Pokemon Go players will likely have to wait until August to get any details on the future of the mobile game.
