Pokémon GO Features Dynamax Roggenrola on June 15 Max Mondays With 15-Hour Event Bonuses

2 articles · Updated · Nintendo Wire · Jun 13

Summary

  • June 15’s Max Mondays will put Dynamax Roggenrola in every Power Spot from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. local time, extending the weekly Pokémon GO event well beyond its original one-hour format.
  • A full-day bonus window from 12 a.m. to 11:59 p.m. local time adds 1 Rare Candy XL for completing in-person Max Battles, while Power Spots refresh more often and appear in greater numbers.
  • Max Battles will also rotate through different Dynamax Pokémon during the day, and Niantic said Dynamax Roggenrola can be encountered in its shiny form.
  • Next week’s Max Mondays feature will shift to Dynamax Hoothoot, as Pokémon GO continues emphasizing Max Battles despite limited Power Spot availability outside Max Mondays and Max Battle Days.
