What is Pokémon Go Fest 2025?

Pokémon Go Fest is a recurring event where trainers meet up and play the game together. Certain Pokémon appear at the specified locations, so it’s a good chance to catch something rarer than usual. There are also special research tasks to complete during the events – last year had mythical Marshadow as its star.

We don’t have exact details yet, but we can look at previous years’ Fests to speculate what might be going on this year. Chances are, the events will take place in some lovely parks – last year saw trainers descend on Parque Juan Carlos I in Madrid and Nanakita Park in Sendai – as well as in other areas of the host cities. There’ll also likely be photo opportunities, decorations, and pop-up stores.

If you haven’t tried other free Pokémon games yet, we recommend you use these Pokémon TCG Pocket codes and the best Pokémon TCG Pocket decks to test your mettle against other players.

Usually found roaming through Teyvat or throwing Pokéballs around, Holly is a lover of Hoyoverse, Nintendo, and indie games. Animal Crossing is her ride-or-die. She also plays too many mobile games, including Monopoly Go. She got started doing freelance lists for GameRant and Roblox pages for VG247, and producing Genshin builds for Gfinity. Her biggest achievement to date is getting her Pikmin 4 score on adverts across the UK. She can, and will, lay some hot takes out if you let her but sticks to correct opinions like arguing what the best wireless chargers and stylus phones are, and which farming game is the best (it’s Stardew). Also owns a really cute lizard.
