Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Dates and Locations:

Niantic is bringing the excitement of GO Fest to three locations in June 2025:

This year's locations feature a mix of returning favorites and a fresh addition:

• Osaka, Japan
• Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
• Paris, France

(Japan and the US hosted GO Fest in 2024; France replaces Spain from last year's events.) A global, virtual event is also expected to follow the in-person celebrations.

What to Expect at Pokémon GO Fest 2025:

Specific event details are scarce at this early stage. Niantic's focus remains on the upcoming GO Tour: Unova in February 2025. However, based on past GO Fests, attendees can anticipate:

• New Pokémon Debuts: Previous GO Fests have introduced significant Pokémon and mechanics (e.g., Necrozma and Fusion mechanics in 2024).
• Raid Battles: Expect numerous Raid Battles, capitalizing on the large in-person gatherings.
• Special Spawns and Shiny Pokémon: Increased chances of encountering rare and Shiny Pokémon are likely.

Further details will undoubtedly emerge following the conclusion of the GO Tour: Unova. Stay tuned for more exciting announcements!
