Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Paris, Jersey City Summer Event

Get ready for an exciting summer with Pokémon GO Fest 2025, as Niantic brings the festivities to Asia, America, and Europe! This year's event promises a plethora of goodies, so let's dive into what you can expect, how to secure your tickets, and the amazing bonus rewards awaiting you.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! Starting from May 29th, the festival will be held in-person at the following exciting locations:

• May 29 - June 1: Osaka, Japan (Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park)
• June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
• June 13 - June 15: 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 special opportunity to encounter Volcanion through exclusive Special Research. Keep in mind, though, that no matter how many tickets you purchase, you'll only have one chance to encounter Volcanion. Any additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

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

Exclusive Festival Merchandise For Pre-Order

Enhance your Pokémon GO Fest 2025 experience with exclusive festival merchandise! You can pre-order official Pokémon GO Fest 2025 apparel and accessories, including t-shirts, tote bags, hoodies, lapel pins, and Pokémon-themed backpacks. Remember, these items are available in limited quantities and must be pre-ordered. You'll be able to claim your pre-orders during the event.

Note that the Lapel Pin 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! Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global will be held 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.

Global event tickets can be purchased up until the last day of the event on June 29th. However, if you buy your ticket by April 15th and play Pokémon GO between April 8th at 10 AM local time and April 15th at 10 AM local time, you'll receive a special Timed Research that rewards an additional encounter with Skiddo.

So, put on your Trainer hat and get ready for an unforgettable Pokémon GO Fest 2025!
