Get ready, Pokémon Trainers! The annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is set to dazzle fans across Asia, America, and Europe this summer. Niantic has planned an array of exciting events, exclusive merchandise, and bonus rewards. Dive in to learn all about the festivities, ticket information, and how you can enhance your Pokémon GO experience.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer. Mark your calendars for these 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 of this year's festival is the debut of the Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of these events will have the chance to encounter this elusive Pokémon through Special Research. Keep in mind, though, that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, 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 varying by location.
Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order
Enhance your Pokémon GO Fest experience with exclusive 2025 apparel and accessories! You can pre-order official items like the Pokémon GO Fest t-shirt, tote bag, hoodie, lapel pin, and Pokémon-themed backpacks. Remember, these are limited stock and must be pre-ordered. You'll claim your pre-orders at the event itself.
Note that the Lapel Pin and the limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobbuffet backpacks are exclusive to Jersey City and Paris; they 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 take place 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.
Global event tickets are available for purchase until the event ends on 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.
So, gear up, Trainers, and get ready for an unforgettable Pokémon GO Fest 2025!
