May 2021 turned out to be a very busy month in Pokemon GO despite there only being a few events on the calendar and it's looking like June is going to give it a run for its money. The full June 2021 events calendar is now public and a handful of events, including one mystery event, are all lined up to kick off the summer season.
The June 2021 Pokemon GO event calendar is going to give trainers another Solstice Event, an event focused on slow Pokemon, and a third currently untitled event that will help close out the June month and lead into July. More details about that third offering will certainly arrive in the weeks to come, but it seems likely that many players will have some strong theories after reading its description.

Surprisingly, the three confirmed big June events are much shorter than the two Luminous Legends events that dominated the May calendar. The first two events are just about three days long each and then the third mystery event will be a big longer. That could be a hint that some surprise events will be popping up to help fill those empty days on the calendar throughout the month as the days progress.
Trainers who are ready for to start preparing for June 2021 can check out all of the confirmed events and spotlight hours right here...
