Pokemon Go Fest 2025 kicks off soon, with three in-person events scheduled to take place in different cities around the world over the next few weeks. Even if you can't participate in one of these gatherings, however, you'll have a chance to join the festivities with three upcoming global events, each of which is set to introduce a new Gigantamax starter Pokemon to the game.
First is the Serene Retreat event, which will take place from May 30 to June 3. Throughout the event, cute Pokemon such as Chansey, Cutiefly, and Morelull will appear in the wild and hatch from eggs more frequently. On top of that, Gigantamax Rillaboom will make its Pokemon Go debut. You'll be able to encounter the grass-type starter in six-star Max Battles from May 31 to June 1.
The following week, Pokemon Go will host an Instrumental Wonders event from June 7-11. As part of this event, Pokemon like Ferroseed, Galarian Stunfisk, and Falinks will appear more frequently in the wild and as Raid bosses, and Gigantamax Cinderace will make its debut in six-star Max Battles from June 7-8.
Finally, an event called Phantom Ruins is slated to run from June 14-18. This event will revolve primarily around ground and ghost Pokemon. Monsters like Duskull, Drilbur, and Phantump will spawn more frequently in the wild, while Sableye, Greavard, and other Pokemon will be drawn to Incense. Gigantamax Inteleon will also arrive in Pokemon Go for the first time, appearing as a six-star Max Battle boss from June 14-15.
Pokemon Go Fest 2025 kicks off with a gathering in Osaka, Japan, from May 29 to June 1, with events in Jersey City and Paris scheduled to follow in the subsequent weeks. Tickets to attend these in-person events are available through the official Pokemon Go website.
Shortly after the in-person events conclude, Pokemon Go will hold a global Go Fest celebration from June 28-29. As with previous Go Fests, different "habitats" will rotate throughout the event, with certain Pokemon appearing more frequently depending on the habitat. Players who purchase a virtual ticket for the event will also have a chance to catch the mythical Pokemon Volcanion.
