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!

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.
