The annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is set to captivate Trainers across Asia, America, and Europe this summer, promising an array of exciting rewards and experiences. Dive into the details below to learn about the upcoming festivities, ticket information, and exclusive bonuses.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Welcomes All Trainers
Niantic is thrilled to extend an invitation to Trainers worldwide for Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! Starting on May 29th, the event will be held in-person at these exciting locations:
- 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 elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Trainers with tickets to any of these events will have a special opportunity to encounter Volcanion through exclusive Special Research. However, please note that each player can only encounter Volcanion once, regardless of the number of tickets purchased. Any additional Special Research will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.
Tickets for these regional events can be conveniently purchased from the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
Exclusive Festival Merchandise Available for Pre-Order
Enhance your Pokémon GO Fest 2025 experience with exclusive festival merchandise! You can pre-order official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, lapel pins, and Pokémon-themed backpacks.
