Live events in Pokémon GO attract thousands of players. There will be some in 2020 as well – Germany is missing from the first announcements.
These events have been announced: In Pokémon GO, the developers have announced some dates for 2020. These include three Safari Zones and another event. The events will take place across three continents.
- The Taiwan Lantern Festival in Taichung City (February 6 – February 9)
- A Safari Zone in St. Louis, Missouri (March 27 – March 29)
- Another Safari Zone in Liverpool (April 17 – April 19)
- A third Safari Zone in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (May 8 – May 10)
4 Live Events for Pokémon Trainers
This is what the live events contain: For the three announced Safari Zones, trainers will need a ticket each. When exactly these will be sold has not been disclosed by Niantic yet. However, you will be able to buy them in-game if you want to participate in the Safari Zones. The distances are relatively far, though.
The Lantern Festival event, on the other hand, does not require a ticket. It will simply take place at the same time as the Lantern Festival and include some special and regional Pokémon. Among other things, there will be an Unown with the letter “L”.
The Safari Zones will take place in parks. At all three events, there will be special Pokémon:
- In St. Louis, there will be for example the Unown “S” and Chatot
- In Liverpool, there will be Unown “V” and Relicanth
- For Philadelphia, nothing has been announced yet.
What about an event in Germany? Germany was not included in the first round of events, but the chance is still there. After all, Niantic explicitly talks about the “first events of the year” in the announcement. It is to be expected that there will be more.
Currently, the announcement completely lacks data for the “GO Fest”. This event series took place in many cities – including Dortmund. The city is expected to have hopes for an event again this year with its Westfalenpark once again.
It is still possible that Germany will have a live event this year again – even if it is not included in the first 4.
