Pokemon GO Reveals New Details About GO Fest 2025

Niantic has revealed new details about the GO Fest 2025: Global event for Pokemon GO, including featured Pokemon, Ultra Unlocks, and much more. The GO Fest 2025: Global event is a great opportunity for Pokemon GO players around the world to earn additional rewards and Pokemon for a limited time, especially players who weren't able to attend the in-person GO Fest 2025 events.

Pokemon GO Fest 2025 served as a grand celebration for Pokemon leading into the summer, and multiple in-person events took place in Osaka (Japan), Jersey City, New Jersey (U.S.), and Paris (France). Each event offered a variety of activities with chances to catch exclusive Pokemon and earn exclusive items. As June draws near to its conclusion, Niantic is shifting its attention to Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Global, an online version of the main GO Fest event that any player around the world can participate in. Global tickets are on sale now with various bonuses, and Niantic has revealed what players can expect during the event.

From June 28 to June 29, all Pokemon GO players can participate in GO Fest 2025: Global, and those who purchase an event ticket will gain additional bonuses and Special Research that leads to an encounter with Volcanion. Several event-themed Pokemon will appear in rotating habitats during both days of the event, and each habitat hour (Moonless Volcanion, Galvanic Dojo, Hypnotic Tundra, and Fae Swamp) will happen twice with a pool of Pokemon that are more likely to appear. Moreover, players will be able to encounter Shiny Carbink or Shiny Frigibax for the first time in the wild in Pokemon GO, if they're lucky enough. A variety of Pokemon will appear, including Goomy, Chansey, Larvitar, Galarian Farfetch'd, and Jangmo-o, just to name a few.
