Get ready to embark on an unforgettable adventure with the annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025, taking place across Asia, America, and Europe this summer. Niantic has prepared an array of exciting activities, exclusive rewards, and special encounters. Dive in to learn more about the upcoming events, how to secure your tickets, and the fantastic bonuses awaiting you.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, set to kick off this summer. Mark your calendars for the following in-person event dates and locations:
- May 29 - June 1: Osaka, Japan (Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park)
- June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
- June 13 - June 15: Paris, France (Parc de Sceaux)
A major highlight of the festival is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket-holding Trainers at any of these events will have the exclusive opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. Keep in mind, however, that each player can encounter Volcanion only once, regardless of the number of tickets purchased. Additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.
Secure your spot at these regional events by purchasing tickets from the official Niantic Pokémon GO website. Ticket prices are as follows:
Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order
Enhance your Pokémon GO Fest 2025 experience with exclusive festival merchandise. Choose from the official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 t-shirt, tote bag, hoodie, lapel pin, or Pokémon-themed backpacks. These items are available only through pre-order and in limited quantities. You can claim your pre-orders during the event.
Please note that the Lapel Pin accessory and the limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobuffet backpacks are exclusive to Jersey City and Paris and will not be available in Osaka.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global For Everyone
Can't make it to the regional events? No worries! Join the Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global, happening online on June 28th and 29th. This global event allows players from around the world to participate.
