Niantic has confirmed the dates for Pokémon GO Fest 2025, all taking place in June across three locations:

  • GO Fest Osaka: May 29 – June 1
  • GO Fest Jersey City: June 6 – June 8
  • GO Fest Paris: June 13 – June 15

While tickets aren't yet available, start planning now! Past events required selecting a specific date within the weekend window, so keep travel flexibility in mind.

No global GO Fest dates have been announced for 2025, but based on previous years, expect a global event in late June or early July.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 will be held in:

  • Osaka, Japan
  • Jersey City, New Jersey, USA
  • Paris, France

Japan and the US return as host countries, while France takes the place of Spain from 2024. A global event is anticipated, mirroring previous years' scaled-back virtual celebrations.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Event Details

While the early announcement is great, specific details are scarce. Niantic's current focus is on the GO Tour: Unova (February 2025, New Taipei City and Los Angeles), but expect more information on GO Fest 2025 soon.

Historically, GO Fest introduces exciting new Pokémon and features. Last year brought Necrozma and the Fusion mechanic. Expect a Raid-heavy experience, unique spawns, Shiny Pokémon debuts, and other bonuses to reward in-person attendance. More details will likely emerge after the GO Tour: Unova concludes.

That's all the information available for Pokémon GO Fest 2025! Stay tuned for updates.
