As spring winds down and the weather warms up, Pokémon Go fans have something exciting to look forward to: the next big weekend event is on the horizon, promising action-packed adventures just in time for summer.
June is shaping up to be an exhilarating month with the announcement of the annual Pokémon Go Fest. This year, the festivities kick off with live events in several international hotspots. Mark your calendars: from May 29 to June 1, players will gather in Osaka, Japan. Then, the party moves to Jersey City, NJ, from June 6 to June 8, and finally lands in Paris, France, from June 13 to June 15. But don’t worry if you can’t make it to these cities. The excitement will unite players around the globe during the grand finale on June 28 and 29. Tickets for these in-person gatherings are available now. Additionally, you can snag a $15 ticket for the global event, giving you access to some exclusive gameplay and a chance to encounter the mythical Pokémon Volcanion. Plus, everyone can look forward to seeing the “crowned” forms of Zacian and Zamazenta, the formidable mascots from Sword and Shield.
Now, here’s a neat tip: if you grab your global ticket by April 15 and log into the game between April 8 and April 15, you’ll unlock a special research story. This includes an encounter with Skiddo, a Pokémon that, until now, has only shown up at select “City Safari” events since late 2023. So, make sure you don’t miss this opportunity to add something rare to your Pokédex!
