Gear up, Pokémon GO trainers. You can snag your tickets now for Pokémon GO Fest 2025.
You can head to Pokémon GO Fest at three locations: at the Expo ’70 Commemorative Park, in the city of Suita near Osaka, Japan, from May 29-June 1; at Liberty State Park in New Jersey City, New Jersey, from June 6-8; and the Parc de Sceaux just outside of Paris, France from June 13-15. After all three IRL events, the Global event will run from June 28-29, where trainers around the world can join the fun.
One perk of participating in the event is the dual Fire/Water-type mythical Pokémon, Volcanion. The last time you could encounter Volcanion was during a limited-time, online event in Pokémon Sword and Shield in 2022. This event will be the first time Pokémon GO players will have a chance to catch the elusive mythical. Other event-exclusive features include Hourly Global Challenges to collect biome-specific Pokémon, a higher chance to encounter shiny Pokémon, a 50% discount on stardust cost for trades during the event, double the hearts hearts gained through walking with your buddy Pokémon, and daily snapshot surprises.
If you are attending one of the in-person events, you can also preorder exclusive merch, including t-shirts, sweaters, tote bags, and a pin (only available in Paris and New Jersey) featuring the legendary Pokémon Zacian and Zamazenta while purchasing their tickets online.
Tickets for each location-specific event, as well as more information on the event, can be found on the official Niantic blog announcement. Players wanting to participate in the Global event can find their tickets in the app or on the Pokémon GO Web Store.
