As we savor the calm and nostalgia brought by Pokemon Go’s Unovan event, it’s time to set our sights on something big. With summer just around the corner, anticipation is building for the next significant occasion in the Pokemon Go calendar.
Mark your diaries for the annual Pokemon Go Fest, which is slated for June. This year, we’re in for a treat with live events planned in Osaka, Japan from May 29 to June 1, Jersey City, NJ from June 6 to 8, and Paris, France from June 13 to 15. These in-person gatherings will lead up to a massive, worldwide virtual event set for June 28 and 29. Tickets for these live meetups are available now, alongside a global event pass priced at US$15. This pass offers unique gameplay experiences and promises a chance encounter with the mythical Pokemon Volcanion. Fans everywhere can also look forward to the debut of the “crowned” forms of Zacian and Zamazenta, iconic mascots from Pokemon Sword and Shield.
There’s an exciting twist if you grab your global event ticket by April 15. By simply logging into the game between April 8 and 15, you’ll unlock a special research story. This story includes a rare encounter with Skiddo— a Pokemon that’s been something of a rarity, appearing only during select “City Safari” events since late 2023. Don’t miss out on this chance to catch these special Pokemon.
