The month of June events in Pokemon GO begins with the GO Fest: Sendai. As the name suggests, this is an event specifically focused on the region of Sendai, Japan. So, you must visit the region to participate in this particular event.

Outside of that, there will be event-themed field research tasks, timed research for players connecting a Pokemon GO Plus+, Wild Encounters with Pokemon such as Psyduck, Slowpoke, etc., Paid Timed Research for $2.00, and collection challenges. If you’ve played the Ultra Space Wonders from last month, it follows a similar trajectory.
