Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Osaka
Pokémon GO Fest 2023 is coming to Osaka, and we have big plans for one of the largest urban areas in the world! Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Osaka is split into two different experiences between two locations: Expo ’70 Commemorative Park and in Suita City & Osaka City*!
Attendees will enjoy exclusive gameplay, special bonuses, and more as they adventure alongside thousands of fellow Trainers and spend half their day in Expo ’70 Commemorative Park and half exploring the larger Osaka area!
Tickets purchased include both the Expo ’70 Commemorative Park AND Osaka experience—the only difference is the time of day Trainers are at each location.
Tickets are sold out!
Trainers will select a date and a time slot for their Park Experience. The City experience will take place from 9:00 am to 7:00 pm JST.
Park Experience Choices
- 9:00 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. JST
- 2:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m. JST
Bonuses
Exclusive Bonuses
All attendees will receive the following bonuses and rewards between 9:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, anywhere in Suita City and Osaka City on their ticketed day!
Optional Add-ons
As optional bonuses for attendees, we’re offering several add-ons. Please note: it will still be possible to add these to your ticket purchase after your initial order, so if you can’t decide right away, you can always come back to add on an add-on!
Raid Lover - ¥1,800
Bonuses will be active in Suita City & Osaka City* from Friday, August 4 through Sunday, August 6, 2023.
Egg-thusiast - ¥1,800
Bonuses will be active in Suita City & Osaka City* from Friday, August 4 through Sunday, August 6, 2023.
Citywide Gameplay - ¥2,500
Extend the Pokémon GO Fest fun and enjoy the city experience in Suita City & Osaka City* on the extra day—or days—of your choice! This add-on provides an additional day of the same citywide gameplay experience that is available on your primary event day; however, it does not include additional Special or Timed Research.
This add-on only enables additional citywide gameplay. The Expo ’70 Commemorative Park event experience will only be available on your primary event day at the time indicated on your ticket.
* Stay tuned for the detailed area in our next announcement.
T-shirt Pre-order - ¥3,500
Pre-order your in-person event-exclusive Pokémon GO Fest 2023 T-shirt now, and pick it up in-person during the event. Each T-shirt purchased will also come with a code that can be redeemed for a matching in-app avatar item.
T-shirt quantities are limited and pre-orders will only be available while supplies last. No returns, exchanges, or cancellations will be allowed. The same T-shirt design (in a different color) will be available for sale (while supplies last) on Niantic Supply in select countries.
Features
A Mega-Evolved surprise from the heavens!
It’s time for sky-high adventure! Mega Rayquaza, the Sky High Pokémon, will descend from the ozone layer and appear in raids throughout Suita City and Osaka City during this event.
While all Trainers will be able to challenge Mega Rayquaza in Raid Battles, only those with an active Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Osaka ticket will be able to receive Mega Energy.
Dragon Ascent
An item newly-discovered in Pokémon GO, Meteorites, can be found during this event.* They seem to have some connection with Rayquaza and its attack Dragon Ascent—giving Rayquaza a Meteorite allows it to learn the powerful Charged Attack. Rayquaza needs to learn Dragon Ascent before it can Mega Evolve using Rayquaza Mega Energy.
* An active event ticket is required to collect Meteorites and earn Mega Energy for Rayquaza during this event. Trainers without a ticket will not find Meteorites, have the ability to teach Dragon Ascent to Rayquaza, or be able to Mega Evolve Rayquaza until Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global.
Diancie makes its Pokémon GO debut during Pokémon GO Fest!
This year, the Mythical Pokémon Diancie–the Jewel Pokémon–is the crown jewel of the event! This glimmering Pokémon will make its debut during the Pokémon GO Fest 2023 events in London and Osaka!
Follow the story told by your event-exclusive Special Research and adventure throughout the park, and get ready for your own enchanting encounter with Diancie!
Not all that glitters is Diancie—Trainers will also be able to encounter Carbink!
And that’s not all—Mega Diancie makes its Pokémon GO debut!
A double Diancie debut?! That’s right! Diancie’s Mega Evolution—Mega Diancie—will also make its Pokémon GO debut during Pokémon GO Fest 2023, right alongside Diancie! Adventure through the Special Research story during your park session and learn more about the hidden power of this dazzling debut, plus collect Diancie Mega Energy by completing park-exclusive Field Research and Carbink raids!
Ticket-holding Trainers will be able to encounter Mega Diancie first at the in-person GO Fest 2023 events in London, Osaka, and New York City.
Mega Diancie will then make its worldwide debut for ticket-holding Trainers during Pokémon GO Fest 2023: Global!
