Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! The festivities will begin on May 29th and will be hosted in-person at these stunning locations:

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

A major highlight of this year's event is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of the events will have the unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. However, remember that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, you're limited to one encounter with Volcanion. Any additional Special Research will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

Tickets for these exciting regional events are available on the official Niantic Pokémon GO website, with prices set as follows:

Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order

Elevate your Pokémon GO Fest 2025 experience with exclusive festival merchandise! You can pre-order the official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 t-shirt, tote bag, hoodie, lapel pin, or Pokémon-themed backpacks. Keep in mind, these items are limited in stock and available only through pre-order, with pickup scheduled during the event itself.

Note that the Lapel Pin and the limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobbuffet backpacks are exclusive to Jersey City and Paris; these won't be available in Osaka.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global For Everyone
