After a pretty sluggish August raid schedule, it’s nice to see some life back in Pokémon Go and a couple of brand-new shinies to try and hunt throughout the month. To make it better, every Pokémon in September can be shiny, too, so there aren’t any wasted weeks for those looking to add to their Shiny Pokédex collection.

Galar is also finally here, so many older Galar Pokémon are getting shiny debuts in and out of raids, and there is even a new type of raid for the new Dynamax content. With so much to keep tabs on, here are all the important dates you need to know.
