Pokémon GO City Safari is coming to Barcelona, Spain!

Pokémon GO City Safari is coming to Barcelona, Spain on October 13 and 14, 2023! Set off on a new city-wide adventure as you discover the vibrant stories, new friends, and exciting Pokémon waiting for you in Barcelona!

Whether you’re a resident of Barcelona or a first-time visitor, your Pokémon GO City Safari will take you across the city in an all-new way—from historic landmarks to local favorites, get ready for a taste of the city with Pokémon GO by your side!

The adventures continue with the all-new Safari Ticket!

After City Safari: Barcelona, you can enhance a future visit to the city with a Safari Ticket!

While in Barcelona, Trainers can purchase a Safari Ticket from the in-game shop and enjoy a short Special Research experience based on the event-exclusive gameplay featured during City Safari: Barcelona. Visit Eevee Explorers locations around the city to earn encounters with featured Pokémon. In order to navigate between those more easily, use the Campfire app for guidance. Who knows what exciting Pokémon will join your journey?

Safari Ticket: Barcelona will be available for purchase in the in-game shop for US$1.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency, plus any applicable taxes and fees) starting Sunday, October 15, 2023 at 10:00 a.m. local time, and will remain available for purchase for at least one year. Please note that the tickets can only be purchased within the city bounds of Barcelona. Tickets cannot be purchased with PokéCoins. Tickets are nonrefundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service). Please note that the City Safari event-exclusive Eevee wearing an explorer hat will not be included as an encounter in this Special Research.

Say “Hola!” to Barcelona in a citywide adventure!

Find a whole city of adventure waiting for you when you embark on a Pokémon GO City Safari! Encounter themed wild Pokémon throughout the entire city, complete City Safari-exclusive Special Research, and explore the rich culture in and around Barcelona!

There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy a City Safari! This brand-new open format allows Trainers to enjoy the city-wide experiences at their own pace, catching Pokémon and making friends with other Trainers along the way.

Help Professor Willow research Pokémon across Barcelona!

Ticket-holding Trainers can gear up to assist Professor Willow and Eevee in learning more about the Pokémon appearing during the event. And Eevee seems ready for a big adventure—Trainers will encounter Eevee wearing an explorer hat at the beginning of the City Safari Special Research!

We encourage Trainers to travel and explore the city with their new Eevee as a buddy. This event-exclusive Eevee can be evolved into any of Eevee’s known Evolutions, so Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon wearing an explorer hat can join the fun!
