Harness the power of the sun and moon with two new Adventure Effects: Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam!

Harness the power of the sun and moon with two new Adventure Effects: Sunsteel Strike and Moongeist Beam!

Trainers,
The emergence of Dusk Mane Necrozma and Dawn Wings Necrozma in Pokémon GO has led to the discovery of two new Adventure Effects!

Adventure Effects are powerful Pokémon attacks that can be activated outside of battle to grant temporary bonus effects to help you on your Pokémon GO adventure. Adventure Effects have now been reported to occur when Dusk Mane Necrozma uses Sunsteel Strike and when Dawn Wings Necrozma uses Moongeist Beam.

With these latest developments, who knows what Adventure Effects may be discovered in the future…

Adventure Effect: Sunsteel Strike

Necrozma fused with Solgaleo into Dusk Mane Necrozma will know the Charged Attack Sunsteel Strike.*


Trainers can now activate Sunsteel Strike’s Adventure Effect by using 3,000 Stardust and 3 Necrozma Candy, which harnesses the power of sunlight for 10 minutes. During this time, Pokémon that typically appear during daytime will be attracted to your location, similar to the effect of Incense. Pokémon that can only evolve during daytime will be able to evolve at any time while this Adventure Effect is active.

Some of the Pokémon that you may encounter include the following.

• Pidgey
• Alolan Exeggutor
• Solrock
• Cottonee
• Helioptile
• Tyrunt
• Yungoos
• Rockruff
• Fomantis

You may even encounter Rockruff that can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc—if you’re lucky!


You can extend the timer for Sunsteel Strike’s Adventure Effect in increments of 10 minutes by using more Stardust and Necrozma Candy. The timer can be extended up to two hours each time you tap Use, and you can tap Use again to add additional time—up to 24 hours total!

Sunsteel Strike cannot be active at the same time as another Adventure Effect, an Incense, a Daily Adventure Incense, the Mystery Box, or the Coin Bag.
*Presently, Dusk Mane Necrozma is unable to learn Sunsteel Strike via Charged TM or Elite Charged TM.

Adventure Effect: Moongeist Beam

Necrozma fused with Lunala into Dawn Wings Necrozma will know the Charged Attack Moongeist Beam.*


Trainers can activate the Moongeist Beam’s Adventure Effect by using 3,000 Stardust and 3 Necrozma Candy, which harnesses the power of moonlight for 10 minutes. During this time, Pokémon that typically appear during nighttime will be attracted to your location, similar to the effect of Incense. Pokémon that can only evolve during nighttime will be able to evolve at any time while this Adventure Effect is active.

Some of the Pokémon that you may encounter include:

• Alolan Rattata
• Clefairy
• Alolan Marowak
• Hoothoot
• Galarian Zigzagoon
• Lunatone
• Munna
• Amaura
• Rockruff

You may even encounter Rockruff that can evolve into Dusk Form Lycanroc—if you’re lucky!


You can extend the timer for Moongeist Beam’s Adventure Effect in increments of 10 minutes by using more Stardust and Necrozma Candy. The timer can be extended up to two hours each time you tap Use, and you can tap Use again to add additional time—up to 24 hours total!

Moongeist Beam cannot be active at the same time as another Adventure Effect, an Incense, a Daily Adventure Incense, the Mystery Box, or the Coin Bag.
*Presently, Dawn Wings Necrozma is unable to learn Moongeist Beam via Charged TM or Elite Charged TM.

Pokémon GO Fest 2024

Pokémon GO Fest 2024 takes place in New York City from July 5th, 2024 to July 7th, 2024. It is split into different experiences across two locations: Randall’s Island Park and throughout the rest of New York City! Niantic has put together a travel plan to help players that are planning to attend.

Map:

Plan your travel for Pokémon GO Fest 2024: New York City

Trainers,
We’re excited to welcome you soon to Pokémon GO Fest 2024: New York City! To help you best prepare for your day of Pokémon GO, here are some of the best ways to get around the city.

Pokémon GO Fest is accessible by public transportation, pedestrian bridges, and third-party operated dedicated ferries. There is neither parking for personal vehicles nor designated rideshare drop-off or pick-up locations on Randall’s Island.

New York Ferry

Take the ferry to Randall’s Island! Ferries will depart from and return to the East 35th Street Ferry Landing located at the intersection of East 35th Street and FDR Drive. They will travel to and from Randall’s Island all weekend long, running from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. daily. Tickets are first-come, first-served, and must be purchased prior to boarding.

MTA

X80 Express Bus
The X80 bus route only operates during special events on Randall’s Island. It stops at 125th Street and Lexington Avenue (immediately outside the 125th Street and Lexington Avenue subway station for the 4/5/6 trains). The route runs approximately every 10 minutes during event hours, with service beginning at 8:00 a.m. and concluding at 8:00 p.m. It costs $7 to take to the island but is FREE leaving the island. There are two stops on Randall’s Island: Randall’s Island North on Bronx Shore Drive near the North Festival Entrance and Randall’s Island South at Icahn Stadium near the soccer field. The north bus stop is new for 2024. The north stop is recommended for anyone who is ready to leave Randall’s Island.

Step One:
Take the 4, 5, or 6 subway train to the 125th Street/Lexington Avenue station;
$5.80 roundtrip ($1.00 new-card fee not included).

Step Two:
Take the X80 Express Bus from the 125th Street/Lexington Avenue station to Randall’s Island Park;
$7.00 roundtrip ($4.10 if coming from subway using MetroCard or OMNY Contactless option).

M35 Local Bus
The M35 route buses are a standard MTA service that takes passengers from Harlem E 125th St. / Lexington Ave with a stop at Icahn Stadium near the soccer field. Unlike the X80, this bus route isn’t an express service and will make several stops.

Rideshare

There are dedicated rideshare drop-off and pick-up areas with access to pedestrian bridges and public transportation to Randall’s Island at the following locations in Manhattan:

*East 125th and Lexington (closest to the X80 and MTA Bus Stop to Randall’s Island)
*East 124th before the entrance to the RFK Bridge pedestrian walkway
*East 105th ahead of entrance to the Wards Island Bridge pedestrian walkway
*East 102nd ahead of entrance to the Wards Island Bridge pedestrian walkway

*East 125th St. Bridge (approximately 10–12 minutes)
