An Unforgettable Pokémon GO Experience
Pokémon GO Fest offers trainers worldwide exclusive items, gameplay enhancements, and incredible bonuses. In-person events, requiring ticket purchase, provide unique city-specific experiences.
Prepare for rare Pokémon encounters unavailable through standard gameplay! Think along the lines of the 2024 event's Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Marshadow. Shiny Pokémon will also be more prevalent, their locations varying based on their in-game habitats.
In-person attendees can look forward to exclusive merchandise, habitat-themed goodies, community hubs, and team lounges for socializing with fellow trainers. While specifics for 2025 remain under wraps, expect a similar high-energy atmosphere to previous years.
