Get ready for an exciting summer with the annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025, as Niantic brings the festivities to Asia, America, and Europe. Dive into the details below to learn about the event locations, how to secure your tickets, and the amazing rewards awaiting you.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, set to take place this summer. Mark your calendars for these in-person events:
- May 29 - June 1: Osaka, Japan at Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park
- June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA at Liberty State Park
- June 13 - June 15: Paris, France at Parc de Sceaux
A major highlight of this year's festival is the debut of the Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of these events will have a unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. Keep in mind, though, that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, you'll only get one chance to encounter Volcanion. Additional Special Research will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.
Tickets for these regional events are available on the official Niantic Pokémon GO website, with prices as follows:
Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order
Enhance your Pokémon GO Fest 2025 experience with exclusive festival merchandise! You can pre-order items like the official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 t-shirt, tote bag, hoodie, lapel pin, and Pokémon-themed backpacks. Remember, these items are limited in stock and must be pre-ordered. You'll be able to claim your pre-orders during the event.
Note that the Lapel Pin and the limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobuffet 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! Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global will be held online on June 28th and 29th, allowing players worldwide to join in the fun. Global event tickets grant access to exclusive Timed Research for Volcanion, along with 5x Max Revives, 5x Rare Candies, and 3x Premium Battle Passes.
You can purchase Global event tickets up until June 29th. However, if you buy 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 receive a special Timed Research that rewards an additional encounter with Skiddo.
