Trainers,
Exploring, catching, and battling together with your community is in Pokémon GO’s DNA, and for Pokémon GO’s 10th anniversary we are making it easier than ever as you face off against the Genetic Pokémon, Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y, in Super Mega Raid Battles!
Trainers will need as many fellow Trainers as possible to successfully face these powerful Raid Bosses. That’s why, for the first time, Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global is FREE for all Trainers logged in during the event weekend. That means Special Research, additional bonuses, and an increased chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon are available to all Trainers at no cost!
Whether you’re a longtime Pokémon fan or picking up Pokémon GO for the first time, anyone can get all the ticket-holder exclusives at no cost! Learn more about the event here.
What’s more, Trainers can find their local community, or join one of 26 Community Celebrations across the world during Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global!
Local communities in major cities will join forces for these free events open to the public, featuring a fully branded Pokémon GO experience packed with exciting on-site fun and special giveaways. Whether you’re just getting started in Pokémon GO, returning after a break, or a daily player, this is your chance to find your local community while taking on Mega Mewtwo Raid Battles and encountering many other featured Pokémon!
