Get ready for an unforgettable summer with the annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025, set to take place in Asia, America, and Europe. Niantic has planned a series of exciting events, offering a plethora of rewards and exclusive experiences. Here's everything you need to know about the upcoming festivities, how to secure your tickets, and the incredible bonus rewards awaiting you.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! The festivities will begin on May 29th and will be held in-person at the following stunning 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-holding Trainers at any of these events will have a unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. Keep in mind, however, that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, each Trainer is limited to one encounter with Volcanion. Any additional Special Research stories will instead reward you with Volcanion Candy.
Tickets for these regional events can be purchased directly from the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order
Elevate your Pokémon GO Fest experience with exclusive Pokémon GO Fest 2025 apparel and accessories!

Please note that the Lapel Pin accessory and the limited edition Pikachu, Gengar, and Wobuffet backpacks are exclusive to the Jersey City and Paris events and will not be available in Osaka.
Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global For Everyone
Can't make it to the regional events? No worries! The Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global event will take place online on June 28th and 29th, allowing players from around the world to join in the fun. Purchasing a ticket for the Global event grants you access to exclusive Timed Research for Volcanion, along with 5x Max Revives, 5x Rare Candies, and 3x Premium Battle Passes.
