Frequently Asked Questions

Make planning a breeze! Check back often for new information.

When is Pokémon GO Wild Area: Mexico City, and where can I play?

The event takes place November 6 to 8, 2026. The main event hours are 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Mexico City local time (GMT−6). On your ticketed day, event gameplay is available throughout the larger Mexico City metropolitan area, while in-person experiences are centered at locations across the city. The GO Stamp Rally and Timed Research will end at 8:00 p.m., and some in-person activities have different dates or hours.

Do I need a ticket to experience event gameplay?

Yes. Event-exclusive gameplay and ticket bonuses are available to ticket-holding Trainers on their ticketed day. The full list of encounters, raids, Max Battles, research, and bonuses is on the Pokémon GO Wild Area: Mexico City gameplay page: https://pokemongo.com/en/gowildarea/mexico-city/gameplay

Which Pokémon and gameplay features can I look forward to?

Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon are the focus, with rotating wild encounter hours, mighty Pokémon, raids, and Max Battles. Featured appearances include Gigantamax Duraludon, Dynamax Dialga and Dynamax Palkia, Machamp wearing a modern jacket, and mighty Hawlucha. Ticket-holding Trainers can also attract mighty Latias and Latios with regular Incense on their ticketed day—Daily Adventure Incense does not count. Encounter and Shiny opportunities are chances, not guarantees. See the gameplay page for the full lineup and bonus details.

Is there a GO Stamp Rally around the city?

Yes. The GO Stamp Rally runs from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time on your original ticketed day. Its seven stops are Monumento a la Revolución; Jardín Pushkin; Parque México; Centro de Cultura Digital / Estela de Luz; Parque América; Liverpool Polanco; and the Mexicráneo near El Ángel de la Independencia. The rally is available only on the date printed on your original ticket.

Will an Extra Day add-on give me another GO Stamp Rally?

No. An Extra Day add-on does not grant a second GO Stamp Rally. It does give you another opportunity to complete the Steel- and Dragon-type Timed Research on the added day. Complete those tasks and claim the rewards before 8:00 p.m. local time on each applicable day.

What research can I complete during the event?

Ticket-holding Trainers can claim an exclusive Special Research story during their ticketed session. Two Steel- and Dragon-type Timed Research experiences also guide Trainers to special decorated PokéStops around the city. Complete Timed Research tasks and claim their rewards before 8:00 p.m. local time on the applicable day.

Can Pokémon caught during the event have a Mexico City Location Background?

Yes, there is a chance for eligible Pokémon caught after an in-person raid or Max Battle to have a Mexico City Location Background. These include Machamp wearing a modern jacket, Dynamax Dialga, Dynamax Palkia, Gigantamax Duraludon, Crowned Sword Zacian, and Crowned Shield Zamazenta. A successful catch does not guarantee a background, and remote participation is not eligible.

What are GO Safari Balls, and when can I use them?

GO Safari Balls make it easier to catch Pokémon, especially mighty Pokémon. Ticket-holding Trainers may find them by spinning PokéStops and Photo Discs at Gyms, and an hourly Supply Balloon will provide them during event hours. They can be used only from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time on event days and will no longer be accessible from your inventory after the event.
