But when will Pokémon GO be back online? Here’s your countdown bible to the great Pokémon GO drought of 2020.

• East Coast US - 2pm to 9pm EDT
• UK - 7pm to 2am BST

It’s unclear exactly what server maintenance developer Niantic are performing during this downtime, although it could point towards them moving to new servers entirely.

It’s set to be a big week for Pokémon too, with news expected on the Pokémon Sword and Shield expansion Isle of Armor on Tuesday 2nd June.
