Get ready, Pokémon Trainers! The annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is set to captivate fans across Asia, America, and Europe this summer. Niantic is pulling out all the stops with exciting events, exclusive merchandise, and incredible rewards. Dive in to discover more about the upcoming festivities, how to secure your tickets, and the bonus rewards that await you.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! Starting May 29th, you can join the in-person celebrations at these stunning locations:
- 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 this year is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any event will have the unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. Keep in mind, though, that no matter how many tickets you buy, you're limited to one encounter with Volcanion per player. 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! Pre-order official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, lapel pins, and Pokémon-themed backpacks. Remember, these items are limited in stock and available only through pre-order, which you can claim during the event.
Note that the Lapel Pin and the limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobuffet backpacks are exclusive to Jersey City and Paris attendees and won't be available in Osaka.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global For Everyone
Can't make it to the regional events? No problem! On June 28th and 29th, join the Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global online event, accessible to players worldwide. Tickets for the Global event include exclusive Timed Research for Volcanion, along with 5x Max Revives, 5x Rare Candies, and 3x Premium Battle Passes.
Global event tickets can be purchased until June 29th. But 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 unlock a special Timed Research that rewards an additional encounter with Skiddo.
