What's new
Volcanion makes its inaugural appearance in Pokémon GO!
Who goes there? It’s Volcanion! For the first time in Pokémon GO, Trainers will be able to encounter the elusive Steam Pokémon.
Ticket-holding Trainers will be able to complete exclusive Special Research to learn more about the Steam Pokémon—and have an opportunity to encounter it!
Ticket-holding Trainers will only encounter Volcanion once no matter how many Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Special Research stories they acquire and complete. If you obtain more than one Special Research story that leads to Volcanion by attending multiple GO Fest events, all of the Special Research stories after the first one will award Volcanion Candy instead of an additional encounter with Volcanion.

Trainers may encounter Shiny Carbink and Shiny Frigibax during GO Fest 2025 in-person events—if they’re lucky! Don’t let the pressure get to you—the Jewel Pokémon Carbink will appear in the Sunken Treasure habitat at in-person GO Fest events.
And stay cool! The Ice Fin Pokémon Frigibax will appear in the Carnival Grounds habitat at in-person GO Fest events.
