- June 2’s Showcase Tuesday runs from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time, letting trainers enter PokéStop Showcases built around size-based competition.
- 20 categories are active, including Good Buddy or higher, Great Buddy or higher, and 18 Pokémon types from Bug to Water.
- Five showcases can be entered per player, with points calculated from height, weight and IVs; height accounts for 80% of the score.
- The event keeps Tuesday’s Daily Discoveries slot in Season of Forever Forward, after replacing the long-running Spotlight Hour earlier this year.
- June 9 is already set for the next Showcase Tuesday, and the same categories are likely to return.
