Trainers,

We’re so grateful to everyone who joined this year’s first in-person Pokémon GO Fest event in Berlin, Germany! Our awesome community gathered together in Britzer Garten to show the world just how passionate they are—and they succeeded!

Here’s a small sample of what Trainers accomplished this past weekend at the event.

• Trainers caught over 14,000,000 Pokémon.
• Trainers collectively explored over 303,000 kilometres.

Trainers who attended this event were among the first to encounter Shiny Pansear and Shiny Foongus! Trainers traveled through four different habitats, all while working to complete Special Research to learn more about Sky Forme Shaymin. Some Trainers were even able to snag commemorative photos with Pikachu and Eevee!

In even more thrilling news, the Ultra Beast Pheromosa made its debut at Pokémon GO Fest: Berlin, and Trainers who progressed through the Special Research story were able to encounter and catch it. Rumor has it that the Ultra Beasts Buzzwole and Xurkitree will be making their debuts at Pokémon GO Fest: Seattle and Pokémon GO Fest: Sapporo.

Sounds fun, right? You can still join us for Pokémon GO Fest: Seattle, taking place from July 22 to July 24, 2022, or Pokémon GO Fest: Sapporo, happening August 5 to August 7, 2022! Tickets for these in-person events are available now.

Plus, no matter where you are around the world, there’s still time to join the Pokémon GO Fest global finale event on Saturday, August 27, 2022!

It was amazing to see so many Trainers adventuring together in Berlin but no matter how you participate in Pokémon GO Fest 2022, we’re so excited that you joined us in your own way! Let’s GO!
