Features

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. 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 travel and explore the city with their new Eevee as a buddy. This event-exclusive Eevee 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!

Tips for discovering Cancún with your new Eevee as a Buddy Pokémon!

Trainers can begin their adventure at one of the different meeting areas. There, you’ll be able to recharge your batteries with real-life PokéStop phone chargers, grab an adventure map at special information tents to guide you through the city—and make new friends with other Trainers, of course!

From the meeting areas, you can explore eight dedicated regions, all co-planned with Cancún’s Tourism Board. Discover the diversity and uniqueness of Cancún in these areas!

  • Langosta Beach
  • La Isla Mall
  • Palapas Park
  • ADO Terminal
  • Marina Puerto Cancún
  • Delfines Beach
  • Kabah Park
  • Tajamar Pier
  • Forum Beach

Even better, some of these locations have dedicated, free WiFi connectivity, courtesy of GigNet, to ensure your gaming experience is stable and enjoyable!


Thrilling Photo Opportunities and Activities

Lots of fun awaits at the meeting areas!* These areas will be filled with activities and photo opportunities for all Trainers—newcomers and veterans alike!

  • Complete both real-world and in-game stamp rallies by visiting locations around Cancún!
  • Take pictures with life-size statues of Pokémon GO’s team leaders, Spark, Blanche, and Candela, at the following locations:
    • Langosta Beach
    • La Isla Mall
    • Palapas Park
  • Meet notable Trainers and content creators, who will be available for photos and autographs.

*Please check the adventure map to learn more about the activities available at each of the meeting areas.


Block Those Rays with a Pikachu Sun Visor

Cancún is one of the most beautiful beach paradises in the world. That means you’ll want to grab a Pikachu sun visor at one of the meeting areas to protect yourself from the sun—and shine a little extra fun on your journey through Cancún!*

Remember to take care of your health—don’t forget to apply sunscreen regularly and to stay hydrated!

*There will be a limited number of visors distributed at each location on a first-come, first-served basis.


Your map, your adventure!

In each of the meeting areas and some partner locations, you can get a stamp on your adventure map.* Your map and Niantic’s Campfire app will let you know which spots to visit around Cancún to find special PokéStops and Official Routes, as well as in-person activities. And remember, you can collect stamps for your map at different locations around the city to complete your experience!

*There will be a limited number of maps distributed at each location on a first-come, first-served basis.


Map out your adventure via Campfire!

An interactive event map is now available via Campfire! Tap the Campfire button in the upper-right side of the map to view. You can even preview event locations—plan your path in advance and make the most out of your day!

Spawns

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.
