Tickets to Pokémon GO Fest: Seattle are on sale now!

Trainers, Pokémon GO Fest continues its world tour with a stop in Seattle, Washington. Seattle Center Park and the city of Seattle will host this massive event from Friday, July 22, 2022, to Sunday, July 24, 2022. And yes, you read that right: this year’s Pokémon GO Fest is too big to be contained in a single park, so this incredible event will happen in the city itself. With two unique event experiences each day—one in the park and one happening in Seattle—there’s more to explore than ever before!

Tickets
Tickets to Pokémon GO Fest: Seattle are available now! All tickets are US$25.00** (plus applicable taxes and fees) and are available on a first come, first served basis.

Niantic has announced that new social features will be coming to Pokémon GO sometime in the next few months. Also announced was that starting on May 23rd, 2022, the shop’s 1 PokéCoin Event Box will no longer include Remote Raid Passes. Niantic did not announce that the price of the 3 Remote Raid Passes would be going up from 250 PokéCoin to 300 PokéCoin and the price has already been adjusted in the store.

New social features, as well as updates for in-person raids

Trainers,
Today we’re announcing new social features to help bring people together to enjoy Pokémon GO, new bonuses for participating in local raid battles, and changes to items in the in-game shop.

The new social features—some of which are based in a separate Niantic app—have been tested over time and will be available in Pokémon GO sometime in the next few months. Our hope is that these features will make it easier for Trainers to communicate with each other, discover new communities, and enjoy local raid battles.

We know that this feature is much needed and we look forward to making the social experience even better over time.

As of this month, Mega Energy and Rare Candy XL are available as rewards for completing local raid battles, making it easier to evolve and strengthen your Pokémon. Also, starting on May 23, the shop’s 1 PokéCoin Event Box will no longer include Remote Raid Passes and will instead feature a rotating array of items.

Trainers all over the world have helped Pokémon GO continue to thrive and grow over the past two years. Now, we’re excited to get back to playing together in person. To support players who have difficulty reaching Gyms, we will continue to work on solutions such as tools for community leaders to organize local events and faster approval for new Gyms.

We look forward to adventuring together in person!
