On the weekend of July 17 to July 18, 2021, the probably biggest event of the year will take place in Pokémon GO – The Pokémon GO Festival. On this occasion, there will be additional items for some players. We have looked into this for you and will tell you who can receive them.
What is it about? As announced by Google via its Twitter account, trainers of Pokémon GO can expect additional items as part of the GO Fest (via twitter.com). According to reports, a portion of the players will receive access to a special in-game gift.
All information about the free items for GO Fest 2021
What items will be available? The affected trainers in Pokémon GO can look forward to the following free items:
- A Super Incubator
- A Smoke
- 30 Ultra Balls
Who can receive the items for the Pokémon GO Fest? All trainers who use an Android smartphone and have access to the Google Play Store can look forward to these free items for GO Fest 2021. Unfortunately, players with an Apple device are left out and cannot benefit from this gift.
When and where can they be redeemed? When the gifts will be released and can be collected by trainers is not yet known. Since there are still a few days until the start of GO Fest 2021, it is expected that the release will happen shortly before or on the day of the event.
It is also not yet clear whether the gift for Android users can be retrieved directly in Pokémon GO. Access might also be through a link in the Google Play Store. As soon as there is new information about the location and timing of the gift release, we will inform you here on MeinMMO.
Why aren’t all players receiving these items? The background for the gift action is that Google Play is the main sponsor of Pokémon GO Fest 2021. For this reason, only Play Store users can access this gift.
What to expect at Pokémon GO Fest 2021
When is GO Fest taking place? GO Fest will take place on the weekend of July 17, 2021, to July 18, 2021. You will have the opportunity to play both days from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time. In addition to many different wild Pokémon, you can also expect numerous bonuses, great special tasks, and legendary raids.
What to look forward to: Niantic has thematically divided the event days again this year. The focus on the first event day is on catching wild Pokémon. These will alternate in four different habitats. Since there will also be some Pokémon that you rarely encounter in the game, you should take this opportunity.
The second event day will revolve around legendary Pokémon. For this reason, you will find all legendary monsters that have been in the game so far in Level 5 raids. The raid bosses will also alternate through thematic raid hours.
If you purchase an event ticket, you will also have the opportunity to encounter the mysterious Pokémon Meloetta. This will make its debut in the game at GO Fest.
But that’s not all. We have looked at what else awaits you for Pokémon GO Fest 2021. We have, of course, summarized all the information for you.
