Features 
Volcanion makes its long-awaited global debut in Pokémon GO!
After its inaugural appearances in Osaka, Jersey City, and Paris, the Mythical Pokémon Volcanion shall grace the rest of the world with its presence on the first day of Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global.
Ticket-holding Trainers will be able to complete exclusive Special Research to learn more about the Steam Pokémon—and have an opportunity to encounter it!
Ticket-holding Trainers will only encounter Volcanion once no matter how many Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Special Research stories they acquire and complete.
If you obtain Special Research from an in-person GO Fest 2025 event, you will receive Volcanion Candy as a reward for the global GO Fest 2025 Special Research instead of another Volcanion.
Greetings and salutations to Skiddo and Klefki!
During Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global, ticket-holding Trainers will be able to encounter Skiddo and Klefki in Pokémon GO for the first time globally. Make the most of this fortuitous occasion—Skiddo was previously only found during City Safaris, and Klefki is typically only found in France.
Get excited for Shiny Pokémon debuts!
Trainers may encounter Shiny Carbink and Shiny Frigibax during GO Fest: Global—if they’re lucky!
Don’t let the pressure get to you—the Jewel Pokémon Carbink will appear in the Moonless Volcano habitat on both Saturday and Sunday.
And stay cool! The Ice Fin Pokémon Frigibax will appear in the Hypnotic Tundra habitat on both Saturday and Sunday.
