Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance
Niantic warmly welcomes Trainers from around the globe to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, taking place this summer! The festivities kick off on May 29th and will be celebrated in-person at these stunning locations:
- May 29 - June 1 in Osaka, Japan (Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park)
- June 6 - June 8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
- June 13 - June 15 in Paris, France (Parc de Sceaux)
A major highlight of this year's event is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Trainers with tickets to any of the events will have the unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. However, please note that regardless of the number of tickets purchased, each player can only encounter Volcanion once. Any additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.
Tickets for these regional events can be conveniently purchased via the official Niantic Pokémon GO website, with the following price points:
