Say “¡Hola!” to Cancún in a citywide adventure!
Find a whole city of adventure waiting for you when you embark on a Pokémon GO City Safari! Encounter event-themed wild Pokémon throughout the city, complete City Safari–exclusive Special Research, and explore the rich culture in and around Cancún!
There’s no right or wrong way to enjoy a City Safari! This format allows Trainers to enjoy the citywide experiences at their own pace, catching Pokémon and making friends with other Trainers along the way.
Help Professor Willow research Pokémon across Cancún!
Ticket-holding Trainers can gear up to assist Professor Willow and Eevee in learning more about the Pokémon appearing during the event. And Eevee seems ready for a big adventure—Trainers will encounter Eevee wearing an explorer hat* at the beginning of the City Safari Special Research!
We encourage Trainers to explore the city with their new Eevee as a buddy. This event-exclusive Pokémon can be evolved into any of Eevee’s known Evolutions, so Vaporeon, Jolteon, Flareon, Espeon, Umbreon, Leafeon, Glaceon, or Sylveon wearing an explorer hat can join the fun!
Special Pokémon will appear in the wild!
Special Pokémon will appear across Cancún during the event! Plus, you’ll be able to encounter Mudbray, the Donkey Pokémon! Mudbray will currently only appear during Pokémon GO City Safari 2025 events, but it may appear worldwide at a later date.
The following Pokémon will hatch from Eggs during the event!
