Could 2026 see a new Pokémon debut for the City Safari events?
Eevee Explorers Expedition
Ticket-holding Trainers can gear up to assist Professor Willow and Eevee in learning more about the Pokémon appearing during the event. And Eevee seems ready for a big adventure—Trainers will encounter Eevee wearing an explorer hat at the beginning of the City Safari Special Research!
- Explore the city with Eevee as your buddy, and there’s no telling what you may discover!
- You’ll be able to evolve Eevee to any of their known Eeveelutions with the Explorer Hat, so be sure to collect as many of them as you can! Each evolution requires 50 candies, and some have their own special requirements.
^The only way to obtain these Pokémon wearing an explorer hat is by using 25 Eevee candy to evolve an Eevee wearing an explorer hat.

City Safari Stamp Rally

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one! Learn More about GO Stamp Rally at City Safari events HERE.
How to Participate
Each GO Stamp Rally has a unique theme, requiring Trainers to visit designated PokéStops to collect stamps. By checking your Map, you can view which locations are participating in a Rally.
- When you are near a participating PokéStop, a stamp icon will appear on the map.
- Once you approach the PokéStop, you will automatically receive a stamp sheet.
- Spin the Photo Disc where a stamp icon is displayed, and a circular stamp sheet will appear.
- Tap or press and hold the centre of the circle; the density of the ink will vary based on how long you press. Please Note: Stamps cannot be re-stamped or adjusted once placed.
- A stamp animation will play, indicating you have received the stamp.
- You can collect 8 stamps in total during your Stamp Rally.
- For each stamp, you’ll get an encounter with Eevee wearing an explorer hat. If you’re lucky, it may be shiny! You can track your collection progress on the Scrapbook page.
- The City Safari stamp rally can only be completed once daily during the event hours.
You can track your progress by viewing all collected stamps in the Scrapbook page.
