Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, set to take place this summer. Mark your calendars for these in-person events:

• May 29 - June 1: Osaka, Japan at Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park
• June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA at Liberty State Park
• June 13 - June 15: Paris, France at Parc de Sceaux

A major highlight of this year's festival is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of these events will have a unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research.

Additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

Tickets for these regional events are available on the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
