Get Ready for Pokémon GO Fest 2025: A Summer Spectacle for Trainers
As the summer approaches, Pokémon GO is gearing up for one of its most anticipated events—Pokémon GO Fest 2025. This year, the event promises to be an unforgettable experience filled with excitement, new encounters, and exclusive content for Trainers around the globe. Whether you’re a seasoned Trainer or just starting your Pokémon journey, there’s something for everyone at this year’s festival.
Experience Volcanion: The Steam Pokémon Makes Its Debut
One of the most thrilling announcements for Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is the introduction of Volcanion, the elusive Steam Pokémon. This marks its first-ever appearance in Pokémon GO, and Trainers who purchase tickets will have the unique opportunity to engage in Special Research that provides insights into this mysterious Pokémon. However, it’s important to note that ticket holders will only be able to encounter Volcanion once throughout the event, regardless of the number of Special Research tasks completed. If you attend multiple Pokémon GO Fest events, subsequent research tasks will reward you with Volcanion Candy instead of additional encounters.

Pokémon GO Fest 2025 will feature three major in-person gatherings, inviting Trainers to immerse themselves in the festivities at spectacular locations. Here’s a breakdown of where and when you can join the fun:
