Pokémon Go downtime: What time servers go offline for June 1st maintenance explained
How long will Pokémon Go be offline for?
The servers for Pokémon Go will be globally offline on Monday, 1st June 2020 for a total of seven hours.
During this downtime you'll be unable to play Pokémon Go in its entirety, so make sure you complete any important tasks, such as climbing the Go Battle League or collecting daily bonuses, before the game goes offline.
While the Go Battle League has experienced multiple downtime periods since it's release for maintenance, this is the first time Pokémon Go has been taken completely offline since the Gym rework back in 2017.

You can now catch Dynamax Pokémon through Max Battles. First, however, you need to visit Power Spots to collect Max Particles and complete the To the Max! quest. Don't forget to try out Routes, Gift Exchange and Party Play while you're hunting down rare Pokémon, fighting in the Go Battle League or competing in PokéStop Showcases.
Why is Pokémon Go going offline for maintenance?
The only reason Niantic has given for taking Pokémon Go offline is “server maintenance.”
"We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this might cause. This will have no impact on your account," Niantic added.
While this brings little insight on exactly what Niantic are doing, it could be, as Eurogamer suggests, that Niantic are transferring the game onto new servers, which they couldn't do if the game was live.
