Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Serene Retreat with Ancient Legendary Giants

Pokémon GO is gearing up for the highly anticipated Global GO Fest 2025 with an exciting lineup of events. Kicking things off is a series of themed experiences, each offering unique encounters and challenges for trainers worldwide.

Three new themed events are set to unfold throughout the year, starting with the serene retreat from May 30th to June 3rd, 2025. During this period, players will encounter Pokémon such as Chansey, Marill, Furfrou, Cutiefly, Morelull, Komala, and Hatenna. Keep an eye out for rare sightings like a shiny Snorlax or Chimecho.

A significant highlight of the first event is the debut of Gigantamax Rillaboom in six-star Max Battles, taking place from May 31st to June 1st, 2025. This marks the first time Gigantamax Rillaboom appears in Pokémon GO.

Following closely is the Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Global event on June 28th and 29th, celebrated globally with millions of participants. Free to join from anywhere, the event promises a spectacular showcase of community engagement. For those who purchase tickets, exclusive rewards await, including a meeting with the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion, marking its global introduction after appearances in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris.

Before the main fest, trainers can look forward to the Ancients Recovered event from June 23rd to June 27th, 2025. This event reintroduces the Legendary Titans and their elemental counterparts, featuring daily five-star raids and special Raid Hours. Each day highlights different Legendary Pokémon, culminating in a grand finale on June 27th.

Trainers catching Legendary Pokémon during Ancients Recovered will gain access to exclusive moves tailored to each species. Additionally, six-star Max Battles will showcase Gigantamax Cinderace and Inteleon alongside Rillaboom.
