Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers worldwide to the Pokémon GO Fest 2025, set to kick off this summer! Mark your calendars for these in-person events:
- May 29 - June 1 in Osaka, Japan (Expo ‘70 Commemorative Park)
- June 6 - June 8 in Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
- June 13 - June 15 in Paris, France (Parc de Sceaux)
The highlight of this year's festival is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any event location can participate in Special Research to encounter Volcanion.

Tickets for these regional events are available on the official Niantic Pokémon GO website at the following prices:
