Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025 this summer! Mark your calendars starting May 29th, as the festival will be held in-person 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 attending any of the events will have a unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research. Remember, regardless of how many tickets you purchase, you'll only get one chance to encounter Volcanion. Any additional Special Research 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:
