Trainers,

We’re looking forward to welcoming Trainers to Pokémon GO Tour: Unova – Los Angeles soon. In an effort to support communities affected by the Los Angeles wildfires, we want to share a few ways we are contributing to relief efforts. Check out the event site for more details on how to attend.

Niantic and The Pokémon Company group will donate a collective $1M to nonprofit organizations who are supporting relief efforts for those impacted by the LA wildfires. You can learn more about Niantic’s donations here and The Pokémon Company group’s donations here.

Our thoughts are with those impacted by these wildfires. We encourage Trainers to stay safe, follow guidance from local officials and government agencies, and be mindful of areas affected by wildfires while participating in gameplay throughout Los Angeles County.

For Trainers participating in citywide gameplay during the event, local Community Ambassadors in the Los Angeles area will host meetups that you can join to play in safe, fun areas with other Trainers. You can RSVP via Campfire, or stop by the location during their meetup hours. Learn more about these meetups here.

Please be aware of your surroundings and follow guidelines from local health authorities when playing Pokémon GO. Upcoming events are subject to change. Be sure to follow us on social media, opt to in to receiving push notifications, and subscribe to our emails to stay updated.
