"Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Set for Osaka, Paris, Jersey City Summer"

The annual Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is set to bring excitement to Asia, America, and Europe this summer, with Niantic offering a plethora of exciting rewards. Dive into the details about the upcoming events, ticket acquisition, and the bonus rewards awaiting Trainers.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Welcomes All Trainers

Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer. The in-person festivities will commence on May 29th 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 holders at any of these events will have a unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. Note, however, that regardless of the number of tickets purchased, each Trainer is entitled to only one Volcanion encounter. Additional Special Research stories will yield Volcanion Candy instead.

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