Trainers, Niantic has announced a partnership between Pokémon GO and McDonald’s in the United States! As part of this collaboration, Trainers will be able to visit Sponsored PokéStops or Gyms when visiting McDonald’s restaurants in the US.
Trainers can visit McDonald’s locations in the US during certain weeks to encounter Pokémon attracted by Lure Modules at McDonald’s PokéStops and participate in five-star raids at McDonald’s Gyms.
These Lure Modules and Raid Battles will be active from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time each day during the following weeks.
- Monday, December 16, to Sunday, December 22, 2024
- Monday, January 20, to Sunday, January 26, 2025
- Monday, February 10, to Sunday, February 16, 2025
- Monday, March 10, to Sunday, March 16, 2025
This partnership is a new McDonald’s partnership, but Niantic partnering with McDonald’s is nothing new. For the past few years, the two companies have been building a mutual relationship all across the globe, including European, Latin American, and Asian collaborations.
Plus, we all know that McDonald’s loves the Pokémon brand, and vice versa. Nothing surprising! Congratulations to our American friends for additional raiding opportunities.
