Pokémon Go launches Delightful Days summer event

- Delightful Days runs from June 3rd to September 2nd

- The highlight of this season is Pokémon Go Fest 2025

- Players can expect upgrades to existing game systems as well

Pokémon Go welcomes summer with its Delightful Days season launching June 3rd, featuring exciting surprises, new Pokémon debuts, and large-scale festival experiences. Following the conclusion of Might and Mastery season with its Urshifu and Gigantamax Machamp appearances, Delightful Days continues the excitement through September 2nd with a colorful array of features.

Go Fest 2025 Takes Center Stage

The crown jewel of Delightful Days is undoubtedly Pokémon Go Fest 2025, the game's premier annual global event happening June 28th-29th. While participation is free for all players, premium ticket holders gain access to exclusive bonuses, Special Research tasks, and an encounter with the mythical fire-type Volcanion.

Trainers seeking the full festival experience can attend in-person events at Osaka, Jersey City, or Paris locations. This year's Go Fest becomes particularly memorable as it introduces the legendary Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta for the first time.

New Pokémon and Gameplay Enhancements

The season welcomes new additions from the Paldea, Galar, and Hisui regions. Gigantamax Cinderace and Inteleon headline the Max Battle rotations, with Dynamax Hatenna and others joining throughout the summer months.

Several quality-of-life improvements are being implemented this season. The Go Pass system returns with a refreshed progression track, while the premium Go Pass Deluxe option offers accelerated rewards. The popular Eggs-pedition Access program relaunches with new monthly Timed Research and daily Incubator bonuses. A new RSVP feature helps trainers better coordinate raid battles.

• Community Days featuring special Pokémon encounters
