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.
