Pokemon GO Fest 2022 – tickets, attractions and everything you need to know about the event

The creators of Pokemon GO have revealed detailed information about one of the largest events related to pocket creatures.


April is coming to an end, so there is little time left until the most important event related to Pokemon GO begins. It is, of course, the GO Fest summer event, which attracts thousands of people from all over the world every year.

The creators always prepare many interesting attractions, bonuses, and premieres of new creatures for this occasion. What’s coming this year? Players will definitely not be bored.

Pokemon GO Fest 2022

Detailed information about this year’s GO Fest event has been published on the official website of Pokemon GO. The fun will start on June 4, 2022.

Pokémon GO Fest is a celebration of friendship and community, so it’s only appropriate that the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin—the Gratitude Pokémon—should appear during this year’s event! Join Trainers around the world on Saturday, June 4, 2022, and Sunday, June 5, 2022, to unlock rewards, earn bonuses, and so much more.

On the second day of the event, a certain Pokémon will be making its Pokémon GO debut in five-star raids. To help face this new challenge, ticket holders will be able to receive up to nine free Raid Passes by spinning Photo Discs at Gyms.

Tickets for Pokémon GO Fest 2022 are available now for US$14.99† and include access to event gameplay on both Saturday and Sunday. Each event day will feature a different experience—and, in a Pokémon GO Fest first, a special finale event will take place on Saturday, August 27, 2022! All Trainers who purchase tickets for the global event in June will be granted a ticket for the finale event at no extra charge.
