You will see “Tickets Available” next to the Pokémon GO City Safari: Hong Kong event ticket if it hasn’t sold out yet.

Find a whole city of adventure waiting for you when you embark on a Pokémon GO City Safari! Encounter event-themed wild Pokémon throughout the city, complete City Safari–exclusive Special Research, and explore the rich culture in and around Hong Kong!
There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy a City Safari! This format allows Trainers to enjoy the citywide experiences at their own pace, catching Pokémon and making friends with other Trainers along the way.
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. What exciting discoveries will you make together?
If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
^ The only way to obtain these Pokémon wearing an explorer hat is by evolving an Eevee wearing an explorer hat using 25 Eevee candy.
Special Pokémon will appear across Hong Kong during the event! Plus, you’ll be able to exclusively encounter Skiddo, the Mount Pokémon! Skiddo will currently only appear during Pokémon GO City Safari 2024 events, but it may appear worldwide at a later date.
Tip: You can upgrade your ticket with the Egg-thusiast add-on to unlock a 1/2 Hatch Distance bonus during the event! Ticket add-ons are active for both the Saturday and Sunday of Pokémon GO City Safari: Hong Kong.
If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one!
