Get ready for an epic summer as the annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025 takes you on a global adventure across Asia, America, and Europe! Niantic has planned an array of exciting events, exclusive rewards, and special encounters. Dive into the details below to learn how you can join the fun, secure your tickets, and snag those bonus goodies.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Niantic warmly welcomes Trainers from around the world to the thrilling Pokémon GO Fest 2025, set to kick off this summer! Mark your calendars for the following in-person events:

• May 29 - June 1 in Osaka, Japan (Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park)
• June 6 - June 8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
• June 13 - June 15 in Paris, France (Parc de Sceaux)

A major highlight this year is the much-anticipated debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of these events will have a special chance to encounter Volcanion through exclusive Special Research. Remember, though, that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, you'll only get one encounter with Volcanion. Any additional Special Research will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

Secure your tickets for these regional events via the official Niantic Pokémon GO website. Prices are as follows:

Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order

Elevate your Pokémon GO Fest experience with exclusive 2025 apparel and accessories! You can pre-order the official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 t-shirt, tote bag, hoodie, lapel pin, or Pokémon-themed backpacks. Keep in mind, these items are available in limited quantities and must be pre-ordered. You'll claim your pre-orders during the event.

Note that the Lapel Pin and limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobbuffet backpacks are exclusive to Jersey City and Paris and won't 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 online event on June 28th and 29th, open to players worldwide. By purchasing a Global event ticket, you'll gain access to exclusive Timed Research for Volcanion, along with 5x Max Revives, 5x Rare Candies, and 3x Premium Battle Passes.

Global event tickets can be bought up until June 29th. However, if you purchase your ticket by April 15th and play Pokémon GO between April 8th at 10 AM local time and April 15th at 10 AM local time, you'll unlock a special Timed Research that grants an additional encounter with Skiddo.

So, gear up, Trainers, and prepare for an unforgettable Pokémon GO Fest 2025!
