We here at iMore have everything you need to know to get the most out of the biggest Pokémon Go event of the year. Check back often and be sure to check out our best Pokémon Go accessories so you can be sure to be fully equipped when the big event arrives.
What is Pokémon Go Fest?
The biggest event of the year for Pokémon Go, Pokémon Go Fest is an annual celebration of all things Pokémon Go. First started in 2017 in Chicago, the Pokémon Go Fest was a real world gathering of players who worked together to complete challenges, catch Pokémon old and new, and celebrate their love for the game. Since then, every year Niantic has hosted this event. In 2019, Pokémon Go Fest expanded to include events in Dortmud and Yokohama, as well as Chicago.
Although attendees had access to unique Pokémon and rewards, these events have also included rewards for players who were not able to attend and have involved unlocking new Pokémon and features for the game going forward. For example, at the first Pokémon Go Fest, Lugia was revealed and introduced as the first Legendary Pokémon in the game.
For the past two years, Pokémon Go Fest moved to a global, virtual format and while 2022 will remain available to all players around the globe, there will also be real world celebrations in select cities. There will be no cap on tickets for the main event and all players will be able to enjoy both days for massive challenges and tons of Pokémon.
How will Pokémon Go Fest 2022 work?
As with the previous two years, Pokémon Go Fest 2022 will be a global, virtual event, with no cap on tickets. Every player who wants to participate can purchase a ticket this year. However, there will also be several real world events that players can also participate in. This year will also feature a Finale event at the end of summer.
Pokémon with the potential to be Shiny are indicated with an asterisk.
Dates
Pokémon Go Fest 2022 runs from Saturday, June 4 through Sunday June 5, with an additional finale event on Saturday, August 22, 2022.
Cost
Tickets for Pokémon Go Fest 2022 are on sale now in the PokéShop for $14.99USD or local equivalent and include both days of the event, as well as the bonue finale event in August.
Global Challenge Arena and Rotating Habitats
Pokémon Go Fest 2022 features the return of the Global Challenge Arena. In previous years, every hour featured a new global challenge and when players met the challenge goals, the remainder of the hour featured a bonus as a reward. This year, the Global Challenge Arena will be limited to ticketed players on Saturday and open to all players on Sunday.
This year will also feature four Rotating Habitats: City, Plains, Rainforest, and Tundra. The Rotating Habitats will be available to all players, regardless of tickets; however, ticketed players will have bonus Pokémon that can be lured with Incense.
From the start of the event, the Rotating Habitats will swap continuously. Players can check the Today View to see which habitat is currently running or check the schedule below:
