Get ready, Trainers! The annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is set to bring excitement to Asia, America, and Europe this summer, with Niantic offering a plethora of exciting rewards and experiences. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming festivities, ticket information, and the bonus rewards you can look forward to.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the highly anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, happening this summer. The festivities kick off on May 29th and will be held in-person 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 event is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of these events will have a unique chance to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. However, please note that each player is limited to one encounter with Volcanion, regardless of how many tickets they purchase. Additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

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