Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global Gathering, Unforgettable Experiences

Get ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2025! Niantic is breaking tradition by announcing the dates early, giving fans plenty of time to plan. The in-person events will take place in June, across three exciting locations.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Dates & Locations:

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

While tickets aren't yet on sale, plan your PTO and travel now! Past events required selecting a specific day within the weekend window, so flexibility is key.

A global GO Fest event is expected later in June or early July, though no official dates have been confirmed.

Locations Recap:

The 2025 locations include returning favorites (Japan and the US) and a new addition (France). This year's event skips Spain, which hosted in 2024.

A global, virtual event is also anticipated, offering worldwide participation after the in-person festivals conclude.

Event Details (What We Know So Far):

The downside of early announcements is limited details. Focus remains on the upcoming GO Tour: Unova (February 2025 in New Taipei City and Los Angeles).

Historically, GO Fest introduces exciting new Pokémon and features (like last year's Necrozma and Fusion mechanic). Expect a heavy emphasis on Raids, unique spawns, Shiny Pokémon debuts, and other in-person bonuses. More specific details are expected after the Unova Tour concludes.
