Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn - Las Vegas
Pokémon GO Tour returns in 2023 for Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas and Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Global! Get ready to head to Las Vegas and have a chance to catch most Pokémon from the Hoenn Region of Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire— – or experience the adventure globally the following weekend!
You can find details on the Global event here.
Pokémon Ruby and Pokémon Sapphire are the third generation of Pokémon games, released on the Game Boy Advance. Trainers first encountered the Legendary Pokémon Kyogre and Groudon in these games!
Trainers who attend either event will be able to choose between a Ruby ticket or a Sapphire ticket. This choice will give you different options for your adventure—we’ll release more information later to help you make your decision!
You can purchase tickets now to take advantage of a special early bird discount! Offer ends on Saturday, December 31, 2022.
Tickets for Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn at Las Vegas are sold out!
Features 
Ruby vs. Sapphire Challenge
As the earth and sea clash, which side will you stand with? All Trainers will be able to pick between a Ruby and Sapphire badge. The team you pick will shape certain in-person Pokémon encounters!
Each hour, you can complete special Field Research on behalf of your team. Depending on which team completes more Field Research, all Trainers will see increased Primal Raids for either Primal Kyogre (Sapphire) or Primal Groudon (Ruby)—plus an increased chance of encountering additional wild Pokémon!
The badge Trainers pick at Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas will carry over to the global event the following weekend.
Primal Surges!
Groudon and Kyogre are surfacing, bringing the might of the earth and the sea with them.
Experience the power of Primal Reversion for the first time in Pokémon GO at Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn!
Ticket-holding Trainers in Las Vegas will have additional opportunities to complete Primal Surge Field Research leading to encounters with Primal Groudon or Primal Kyogre.
Shining Surprises
New data is coming in that has Professor Willow stumped—it looks like Trainers taking part in Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas* will have an increased chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region!
* Ticket-holding Trainers at the in-person event in Las Vegas may have increased luck in encountering Shiny Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon are not guaranteed by purchasing a ticket.
Kecleon heads to Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas!
Trainers! New data has continued to emerge, and we have learned that lucky Trainers attending Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas will have the first opportunity to encounter Shiny Kecleon!
Trainers unable to attend Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas will have their opportunity to catch Shiny Kecleon a little later—it’ll make its Pokémon GO debut for the rest of the world during Pokémon GO Tour: Hoenn – Global.
As a reminder, ticket-holding Trainers in Las Vegas will also have an increased chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region!*
Ticket-holding Trainers at the in-person event in Las Vegas may have increased luck in encountering Shiny Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon are not guaranteed by purchasing a ticket.
