Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Tokyo

Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Tokyo takes place from May 29 – June 1 at Tokyo Waterfront City and across Tokyo. Ticket holders receive exclusive gameplay, spawns, raids, and bonuses. Mega Mewtwo X and Y, along with Zeraora will make their Pokémon GO debut, along with Shiny Paldean Tauros.

You will only be able to experience the event gameplay within Tokyo Waterfront City during the Park Session time noted on your event ticket.

This year, the Mythical Pokémon Zeraora—the Thunderclap Pokémon—will electrify the event!

Follow the story told by your event-exclusive Special Research and adventure throughout the park, and get ready for your own encounter with Zeraora!

Multiple encounter disclaimer

Trainers will only encounter Zeraora once no matter how many GO Fest 2026 Special Research stories they acquire and complete. If you plan to attend multiple in-person GO Fest 2026 events, the first relevant Special Research story you obtain will award your Zeraora encounter.

Any subsequent GO Fest Special Research you obtain and complete will award you with Zeraora Candy instead of a Zeraora encounter once it is completed.

  • Team Leaders will show off the best parts of their teams in the Recruitment Zone. Trainers can complete Raids, learn more about each Team, and put their PvP skills to the test at the Battle Ground.
  • Explore through the Conservatory Zone to encounter a variety of Pokémon species. Pokémon from across your Pokémon GO Pokédex might appear.
  • In the Cultivation Zone, you can learn about Pokémon through special event-themed Field Research, special event-themed Eggs and increased incubator effectiveness.
