The Season of Legends continues to deliver Legendary activities and rewards as the May 2021 Pokemon GO events rage on. The month kicked off with a very exciting Luminous Legends X event, but that was just the start. Players are going to be staying busy throughout the second half of the month as well when the Luminous Legends Y event arrives with another set of features and bonuses to enjoy.

The Pokemon GO community still has a bit of time before the first half of the Luminous Legends Y event starts on May 18, but it's never too early to start preparing. Obviously the event the will include the debut of Yveltal in the mobile AR game, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are tons of other special features including some limited time Battle Raid bosses and lots of opportunities to battle and catch some new Shadow Pokemon.
