Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! The festivities will begin on May 29th and will feature in-person events at the following 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. Ticket-holding Trainers at any of the events will have the chance to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. However, please note that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, you will only have one encounter with Volcanion. Additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.

Tickets for these regional events are available on the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
