Ticket-exclusive features

Players who purchase a virtual ticket for Pokemon Go Fest 2022 will have access to a variety of exclusive features, including a new Special Research story that leads to an encounter with Shaymin--the first time the mythical Pokemon will be available in Pokemon Go.

Additionally, the Global Challenge Arena will return for the event. If players can collectively complete global challenges each hour, they'll unlock additional in-game bonuses for the remainder of that hour. 

Ticket holders will also have an increased chance of encountering shiny Pokemon when they use an Incense, and there will be four different Collection Challenges to complete, each themed after the event's four virtual habitats.

Day 2

Schedule

The second day of Pokemon Go Fest 2022 takes place Sunday, June 5, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time.

Pokemon spawns

Every Pokemon featured during Day 1 of Pokemon Go Fest will return for Day 2, giving you another chance to capture them. On top of that, a new legendary Pokemon will make its debut in five-star raids.

Ticket-exclusive features

Like Day 1, players who purchased a Pokemon Go Fest ticket will have access to a few exclusive features during Day 2. This includes another exclusive Special Research story, as well as increased appearances of Team Go Rocket grunts.

Both days

While each day of Pokemon Go Fest 2022 will offer a different experience, some features will be available across both days. The dragon Pokemon Axew will be featured in one-star raids on both days of the event, while a special Pikachu wearing a Shaymin-inspired outfit will be appearing in the wild.

On top of that, ticket holders will be able to get exclusive event stickers from PokeStops and when opening gifts. They'll also receive up to nine free raid passes when spinning the Photo Disc at gyms.

Tickets for Pokemon Go Fest 2022 are on sale now in the game's item shop for $15. Players who buy one will also get access to a special "finale" event that will follow on Aug. 27. This event will feature another new Research story, along with special Pokemon spawns and other content and activities. Players who don't purchase a Pokemon Go Fest ticket will have the option to buy a standalone ticket for the finale event for $11.

Pokemon Go has a few other events lined up for this month, including Adventure Week and a Pokemon TCG crossover. You can see everything happening in the game over the next few weeks in our June events roundup.
