Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Locations Revealed

Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris to Host the Event

Pokemon GO's 2025 GO Fest locations have been announced: Osaka, Japan; Jersey City, New Jersey; and Paris, France. Mark your calendars, trainers! These events will run from May 29th to June 15th, with each city hosting the festival over a specific weekend. Further details, including pricing and featured Pokemon, are forthcoming from Niantic.

While the initial Pokemon GO craze has subsided, the annual GO Fest remains a significant draw for players worldwide. These in-person events offer unique spawns of rare and regional Pokemon, often including previously unavailable Shiny forms. The global counterpart provides many similar benefits for those unable to attend the in-person events.

2024 GO Fest: A Potential Indicator of 2025 Pricing?

Ticket prices for past GO Fests have varied geographically and fluctuated slightly year-over-year. For example, the 2023 and 2024 Japanese events cost approximately ¥3500-¥3600, while European prices decreased from roughly $40 USD in 2023 to $33 USD in 2024. US pricing remained consistent at $30 USD across both years, with global tickets priced at $14.99.

Recent price adjustments to Pokemon GO Community Day tickets (a $1 to $2 USD increase) have sparked player discontent. This has raised concerns about potential price hikes for the 2025 GO Fest. Given this negative feedback, Niantic will likely approach any price increases cautiously, particularly considering the dedication of fans who travel internationally for these events.
