Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global
June 28 and 29, 2025
10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time
Partake in a gathering with millions of Trainers for the auspicious occasion of Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global! Trainers can participate in this global event at no cost from anywhere in the world!
You can also upgrade your experience with an event ticket, available now via the in-game shop or the Pokémon GO Web Store.
Trainers with an event ticket will receive special bonuses and rewards, including an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion!
Tickets will be available to purchase up until the last day of the event. Unlike the in-person experiences, Trainers don’t need to worry about the global event selling out! Trainers who purchase their ticket on the Pokémon GO Web Store will also receive 3 Premium Battle Passes, 5 Rare Candies, and 5 Max Revives at no additional cost.
Get your ticket early to enjoy additional rewards!
Trainers who purchase a Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global ticket by April 15—and play Pokémon GO between April 8 at 10:00 a.m. and April 15 at 10:00 a.m. local time—will receive Timed Research that awards an early-access encounter with Skiddo.
What's New
After its inaugural appearances in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris, the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion shall grace the rest of the world with its presence on the first day of Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global.
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 Special Research from an in-person GO Fest 2025 event, you will receive Volcanion Candy as a reward for the global GO Fest 2025 Special Research instead of another Volcanion.
Greetings and salutations to Skiddo and Klefki!
During Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global, ticket-holding Trainers will be able to encounter Skiddo and Klefki in Pokémon GO for the first time globally. Make the most of this fortuitous occasion—Skiddo was previously only found during City Safaris, and Klefki is typically only found in France.
Get excited for Shiny Pokémon debuts!
Trainers may encounter Shiny Carbink and Shiny Frigibax during GO Fest: Global—if they’re lucky!
Don’t let the pressure get to you—the Jewel Pokémon Carbink will appear in the Moonless Volcano habitat on both Saturday and Sunday.
And stay cool! The Ice Fin Pokémon Frigibax will appear in the Hypnotic Tundra habitat on both Saturday and Sunday.
Featured Pokémon
^ Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta will revert to their Hero of Many Battles forms when you encounter them after defeating them in a raid. Stay tuned for more information on how Trainers who join GO Fest 2025 will be able to transform their Zacian or Zamazenta into these forms for the first time in Pokémon GO!
Event-themed Pokémon will appear in the wild!
Event-themed Pokémon will appear in rotating habitats during both days of the event! Also, for the first time in Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to encounter Shiny Carbink or Shiny Frigibax in the wild—if you’re lucky!
