The wildest Pokémon GO Fest experience starts here

Google Play is powering up Pokémon GO Fest 2024. Trainers everywhere can catch exclusive perks and prizes with their Play Points membership. Here's what’s available:

Join Play Points and discover a new world of exclusive perks, including special offers during GO Fest.

Throughout GO Fest, special Pokémon will appear in raids and encounters, including Necrozma – making its global debut in five-star raids.

On Saturday, Pokémon will rotate based on hourly habitats, but on Sunday, Pokémon from all four habitats will be out and about for you to catch. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Shiny versions.

With a ticket for GO Fest, you’ll unlock benefits like Saturday’s Special Research to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Marshadow and Sunday’s Special Research focused on Necrozma. You can also take part in the Global Challenge Arena on Saturday, where all ticket-holding trainers must work together to complete an hourly challenge.

Even without a ticket, there are still several rewards waiting for you. During event hours – 10am–6pm – you’ll get surprise encounters in GO Snapshot, extended duration for lure modules, and themed Field Research based on the habitats: Dawn Meadow, Shining Day, Creeping Dusk, and Darkest Night.
