In summer, the big Pokémon GO Fest 2022 takes place. A leak already shows which monsters and activities the event will bring.
What is the GO Fest? The GO Fest is the biggest annual event in Pokémon GO. The Pokémon GO Fest 2022 will take place globally this year over two days:
- On June 4, 2022
- and on June 5, 2022
Additionally, there will be a closing event on August 27, as well as three other events in Berlin, Seattle, and Sapporo.
This information was already officially known. However, a leak now shows further details.
Update from April 27: There is now official new information about the GO Fest 2022.
This is the leak: In the Pokémon GO subreddit “The Silph Road”, many players are already discussing the new information, which is based on descriptions and a new graphic. Here you will find out what to expect. However, keep in mind that these are still unconfirmed details that have not been officially released.
Is there a ticket? Yes, as in previous years, players will need an event ticket again. The full event is expected to cost $15 for this ticket. Alternatively, there will also be an $11 ticket that is only valid for the closing event on August 27.
However, there will also be content for players who do not purchase a ticket.
Day 1 with habitats and new mysterious monster
What happens on Day 1? As is customary in past GO Fests, there will be rotating habitats. These will alternate and bring different spawns.
The event will feature the habitats “City”, “Plains”, “Rainforest”, and “Tundra”. All trainers should be able to encounter the respective spawns – even without a ticket. With a ticket, additional content will be added. Among other things, there will be global challenges again, where all trainers can earn additional bonuses.
In addition:
- A special research task with the new mysterious Pokémon Shaymin. Here you will be able to choose between several difficulty levels, focusing on catching, exploring, or battling.
- Increased Shiny chance with incense.
- Additional Pokémon spawns when using incense, including Incognito B, G, O, and U, as well as monsters like Galarian Mr. Mime or the regional monster Tropius.
Day 2 with new Legendary Pokémon in 5-star raid
What happens on Day 2? On the second day, all players are expected to be included in the global challenge, whether they have a ticket or not. Additionally, an unknown Pokémon is expected to appear in 5-star raids. Here, a legendary monster will make its debut.
Moreover, all Pokémon from the previous day will reappear.
With a ticket, players will also have access to another special research task that is likely to put Team Rocket in the foreground – because on that day, GO Rocket balloons are expected to appear more frequently, and battles will earn you more Rocket Radar parts.
Additionally, there will be further bonuses, including a costumed Pikachu and the appearance of Milza in one-star raids. This monster has previously been very difficult to obtain and will likely be an interesting target for many trainers.
Moreover, you should be able to obtain up to 9 raid passes by spinning photo discs at gyms, and there will also be surprises with snapshots again.
