The Pokémon Go Tour: Unova, initially clouded by uncertainty due to the devastating Los Angeles wildfires, is officially a go! The event will proceed as planned at the Rose Bowl Stadium, Brookside Golf Course, and throughout the wider Los Angeles and Orange County areas.
While the wildfires caused significant disruption, the situation has improved, allowing the event to move forward. However, Niantic recognizes the challenges faced by many affected by the fires and is offering refunds to ticket holders unable to attend. Refunds can be requested through in-app support until February 23rd.
Beyond the event itself, Niantic has pledged further support for the local community and urges all attendees to prioritize health and safety guidelines.
