Pokémon Go is no stranger to hosting offline events for its trainer community, but this summer, Pikachu and friends are going even further than before with the Pokémon Go Road Trip. Starting on July 16, a massive Pokémon Go-themed truck will be travelling across Europe, bringing an immersive experience to thousands of trainers.
The Pokémon Go Road Trip event looks to turn each city it visits into a vibrant digital playground, offering a range of in-game and offline activities for Pokéfans to explore. While some of the benefits of the Pokémon Go event are available to trainers across each location, the closer you get to the truck stop, the more there is to discover, including seeing Unown R and Unown T appear via lure modules around the truck. You'll also have the chance to catch exclusive event Pokémon like a summer-themed Pikachu, earn bonuses in raids, and trigger unique encounters through Pokéball tappables on the map.
Outside of your phone screen, you'll have the chance to meet high-profile Pokémon Go trainers and content creators, with different people due to appear in each city. Masterful27 and RA Pokemon are the first two high-profile people to be part of the event, as they're showing up in Manchester. Each subsequent stop features at least three notable trainers and content creators.
Beyond meeting some important members of the community, you get to take part in quizzes, tournaments, scavenger hunts, AR contests, tours, explore routes, take part in Dynamax battles, and more. Naturally, you can also take AR photos, battle one another, and even participate in spin-to-win giveaways and prize draws. If you haven't played Pokémon Go in a while, this is the perfect opportunity to get involved again while connecting with your local community and making new friends.
