Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Invites All Trainers
Steam Pokémon Volcanion’s Debut Appearance
Niantic is thrilled to invite Trainers from around the globe to the much-anticipated Pokémon GO Fest 2025, kicking off this summer! The in-person events will commence on the following dates and locations:

- June 6 - June 8: Jersey City, New Jersey, USA (Liberty State Park)
- June 13 - June 15: Paris, France (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.
