Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global is a two-day digital event available to all Trainers worldwide from June 28 – 29, 2025 with the event running from 10:00 am until 6:00 pm local time on both days.
Tickets are available now for $14.99 US (or equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), and there are early Ticket Purchase bonuses you can look forward to. Global tickets will be available to purchase up until the last day of the event -unlike the in-person events, Trainers don’t need to worry about the global event selling out!
Over 70 Pokémon will appear during the event, plus special costume Pokémon, bonuses, and more!
Volcanion Global Debut
After its appearances in Osaka, Paris, and Jersey City, the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion will make its global Pokémon GO debut on the first day of Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global.
Ticket-holding Trainers will be able to complete exclusive Special Research to learn more about the Steam Pokémon—and have an opportunity to encounter it! Trainers will only encounter Volcanion once no matter how many Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Special Research stories they acquire and complete.
If you obtained a Special Research from an in-person 2025 GO Fest event, you will receive Volcanion Candy as the final reward for the global GO Fest 2025 Special Research instead of another Volcanion.
Volcanion
Skiddo and Klefki go global
During Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global, ticket-holding Trainers will be able to encounter Skiddo and Klefki in Pokémon GO for the first time globally. Make the most of this fortuitous occasion—Skiddo was previously only found during City Safaris, and Klefki is typically only found in France.
Shiny Carbink and Shiny Frigibax
Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global attendees will be able to encounter Shiny Carbink and Shiny Frigibax for the first time in Pokémon GO—if they’re lucky. Shiny Carbink has fantastic blue/cyan highlights, and the Shiny Frigibax line has an interesting teal tone to them.
