Thoughts on the month of July
Lickitung in research breakthroughs in one im personally happy to see as that is a favourite Pokemon of mine
The 5* raids for July are good without being outstanding. They are certainly better than the first 5 months of the year
Dialga will be the on to raid to get the XL candy for the master league, Articuno also has some decent play in the Ultra league
The Spotlight hours are good without being outstanding like the raids
