The Pokemon GO Fest activities are finished, but there is still a lot of excitement to come throughout the rest of the summer. There were some amazing Legendary Battle Raids featured during Day 2 of the event and trainers had a chance to secure some powerful encounter rewards by participating. Luckily, some powerful Raid bosses are going to continue to appear throughout August 2021, as well.
The August calendar of events is already confirming some pretty exciting Mega and Legendary Battle Raids that will show up this month. There are no major new debuts listed on the public calendar, but there are some very popular bosses like Palkia and Dialga making a return throughout the Ultra Unlock Reward events that have already started. The raid lineup is going to make it very tempting for Pokemon GO trainers to fly through a lot of Premium Raid Passes during the coming three to four weeks.

The August Legendary and Mega Raid schedule is now live and the Legendary creatures from the Sinnoh region are back in the spotlight. Both Palkia and Dialga are still pretty important in terms of impact on the PoGO PvE metagame which should help keep the 5-star raids in high demand during the majority of August. There's also some mystery about which Legendary Pokemon will be appearing in 5-star raids after August 20, so that will likely be an exciting surprise that helps makes raiding a popular activity during the final week of the month, as well.
The following Pokémon will be appearing in five-star raids throughout August.
Dialga will continue to appear in five-star raids until Friday, August 6, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time. If you’re lucky, you might find a Shiny one!
Palkia will be appearing in five-star raids from Friday, August 6, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. to Friday, August 20, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time. If you’re lucky, you might find a Shiny one!
