August 2024 in Pokémon GO is probably the most ‘meh’ month after the best month so far this year. This is mainly because it is the month that does not feature any major event except Niantic and the Pokémon Company adds something enticing during the month. It is also probably a chill month because it is the last month of Pokémon GO’s Season 19. Season 19, termed Shared Skies, is going to end on September 3, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time.
