Pokémon GO Tour: Unova and City Safari Events Announced

Get ready, Pokémon GO Trainers! Two exciting events are on the horizon: Pokémon GO Tour: Unova and Pokémon GO City Safari.

Pokémon GO Tour: Unova (February 21-23, 2025)

This in-person event will take place in Los Angeles, California (Rose Bowl Stadium) and New Taipei City, Taiwan (Metropolitan Park). Inspired by the Unova region from Pokémon Black, White, Black 2, and White 2, the event features themed habitats (Winter Caverns, Spring Soiree, Summer Vacations, Autumn Masquerade) offering diverse Unova Pokémon encounters. Shiny Deerling variations will appear depending on the habitat and time of day.

Trainers can catch Shiny Meloetta via Masterwork Research, hatch Shiny Sigilyph, Bouffalant, and others, and potentially encounter Shiny Pikachu with special hats through Field Research. Legendary Pokémon Reshiram and Zekrom will be Five-Star Raid bosses, Druddigon in Three-Star Raids, and Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott in One-Star Raids, all with increased Shiny rates.

Tickets are available now at a discounted price ($25 USD in Los Angeles, $630 NT in New Taipei City). Add-on ticket options offer extra bonuses, such as 5,000 XP per raid. The event runs 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time (PST and GMT+8 respectively). Expect merchandise booths and team lounges. A global event, Pokémon GO Tour: Unova - Global, will follow on March 1-2, offering free Unova exploration for all.

This city-wide event will be held in Hong Kong and São Paulo, Brazil, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time. Join Professor Willow and Eevee to solve a Pokémon mystery!
