Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers

Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance

• June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA at Liberty State Park
• June 13 - June 15: Paris, France at Parc de Sceaux

A major highlight of this year’s festival is the debut of the elusive Steam Pokémon, Volcanion. Ticket holders at any of these events will have a unique opportunity to encounter Volcanion through Special Research.

You can purchase tickets for these regional events directly from the official Niantic Pokémon GO website, with prices as follows:
