Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! The in-person events will start on May 29th and will be hosted at the following locations:

• May 29 - June 1 in Osaka, Japan (Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park)
• June 6 - June 8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
• June 13 - June 15 in Paris, France (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 the chance to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. However, please note that each player is limited to one encounter with Volcanion, regardless of the number of tickets purchased. Additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

Tickets for these regional events can be purchased directly from the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
