Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Dates, Locations, and Event Details

Author:Kristen Update:Jan 24,2025

Get ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2025! Niantic has announced the dates for this year's in-person events earlier than usual, giving players ample time to plan.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Dates and Locations:

The 2025 Fest will feature three locations across June:

  • Osaka, Japan: May 29th – June 1st
  • Jersey City, New Jersey, USA: June 6th – June 8th
  • Paris, France: June 13th – June 15th

Ticket sales haven't begun yet, but players should anticipate a similar model to previous years, requiring selection of a specific day within the event window. Travel arrangements should account for this limited flexibility. A global event is expected later in June or early July, though no official date has been set.

Confirmed Locations:

This year's locations include a mix of returning favorites and a new addition:

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

While a global, virtual event hasn't been confirmed, it's likely to follow the in-person events, offering a scaled-down version for worldwide participation.

Event Details:

Specific details remain scarce at this early stage. Niantic is currently focused on promoting the upcoming GO Tour: Unova in February 2025 (New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California).

However, past GO Fests have typically featured exciting Pokémon debuts (like last year's Necrozma and Fusion mechanic), numerous raids, special wild spawns, Shiny Pokémon releases, and other bonuses. Expect further details to emerge after the conclusion of the GO Tour: Unova.

Pokémon GO is available now.
