Pokemon GO and Major League Baseball (MLB) have teamed up to bring an exciting new experience to fans. This collaboration introduces official club-branded PokeStops and Gyms to select MLB ballparks, allowing fans to enjoy Pokemon GO while watching live baseball games. Dive into the details of this thrilling partnership.

Pokemon GO Collaborates with MLB

On February 12, 2025, Pokemon GO announced its innovative partnership with Major League Baseball (MLB). This collaboration brings "official club-branded" PokeStops and Gyms to some MLB ballparks, enhancing the experience for spectators who love both baseball and Pokemon GO.

What Trainers Can Expect at Themed MLB Games:

The collaboration kicks off on May 9, 2025, with the Cleveland Guardians and concludes on September 7, 2025, with the Texas Rangers. For the complete schedule and participating teams, visit Pokemon GO’s news website.

Fan reactions have been overwhelmingly positive, though some have expressed disappointment over the exclusion of certain MLB teams. Many hope for future expansions to include more club-branded PokeStops and Gyms. However, concerns about potential data connection issues during games due to high demand have been noted. The addition of Pokemon GO to MLB events might further strain cellular data, potentially leading to slower connections.
