Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Niantic is thrilled to welcome Trainers from around the globe to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! The festivities will commence on May 29th and will feature in-person events at the following locations:

- June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA at Liberty State Park

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. However, please note that regardless of how many tickets you purchase, you're limited to one encounter with Volcanion per player. Additional Special Research stories will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead.
Tickets for these regional events are available for purchase on the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
