Trainers, there’s a new season coming toPokémon GO, and with that, several new bonuses and features to keep up with! The new season, Shared Skies, will be with us fromSaturday, June 21, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time to Tuesday, July 01, 2025, at 10:00 AM local time.Since the majority of our summer (and for some of us, winter) will be spent playing through this event, we have a lot of information to cover in order to prepare for the turnover! Let’s get into it.
Shared Skies Seasonal Bonuses
Every season comes with its own series of bonuses, and Shared Skies is no exception. Trainers can expect the following bonuses to apply:
Other than the XP bonus, these are some high-value bonuses for us going forward. Make sure that you take full advantage of these special trades by partying up with a Trainer you have high friendship levels with. I recommend raiding with these friends as much as you may - you might be able to trade shinies with one another!
Additionally, you’re really going to want to take advantage of that Candy XL boost. You will need these if you want to get your Pokémon to max CP levels. Pick Pokemon that you want to bring with you into raids, or PvP, and verify that you’re walking around throughout the duration of the season to get those Candies!
Shared Skies Features
Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma
Appearing first in GO Fest 2024, Trainers will not only be able to encounter Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma, but they will also be introduced to a new phenomenon called “fusion”. For fusion, you need to collect a special energy that drops from these raid battles. Dusk Mane Necrozma will drop Solar Fusion Energy and Dawn Wings Necrozma will drop Lunar Fusion Energy.
From there, you will use these Fusion Energies to fuse Necrozma with either Solgaleo or Lunala. These are the potential combinations:
This obviously means that one of the many Pokémon making its debut this Season will be, of course, Necrozma. The Prism Pokémon will make itself available in 5-star raids first in-person only at GO Fest in Japan, before going live globally.
Marshadow Global Debut
After GO Fest, Marshadow will also make its global debuts starting from the first day of Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global. There will be a purchaseable ticket to net yourself some more encounters with this cutie, in addition to Special Research that will teach you more about this Pokémon.
GO Battle League
As with all Seasons, the GO Battle League will make its return to Shared Skies! You can expect all the regular suspects - Ultra, Master, so on - as well as the Summer Cup, the Fossil Cup, and the Great League: Remix once again!
New PokeStop Showcases
Showcases will take place on a weekly basis on weekends as well as Monday-Tuesday. You will have to log in every week to see which Pokémon you’re able to put into a showcase, but expect any of the Spawns or Research Breakthrough Pokémon to be suspects in this particular area.

Shared Skies Themed Stickers
And, last but not least, you’ll also get a bunch of new stickers from spinning PokeStops and opening gifts. You can also purchase these from the in-game shop, if you desire. I personally don’t recommend buying them, as you can get stickers pretty simply by just playing the game and making sure you’re keeping on top of Trainer Gifting. That said, they look pretty cute, so I don’t think anyone could blame you for wanting to get your hands on them quickly.

We have a couple of repeat raids coming up for those who may have missed some of these great Pokémon when they were in the pool.
