Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Tokyo Turns the Entire City Into a Playground for 10th Anniversary
This is the largest real-world event in Pokémon GO history, and the new city-wide gameplay mode with a dedicated ticket signals a shift toward turning all of Tokyo into the event space rather than confining activities to a park venue.

Niantic announced Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Tokyo, a four-day real-world event from May 29 to June 1, 2026, marking the game's 10th anniversary. City gameplay mode expands to all of Tokyo starting May 25, with a new Town Exploration Ticket. Highlights include the first appearance of Zeraora in Pokémon GO, Super Mega Raids for Mega Mewtwo X and Y, a Pikachu Dance Stage, and a GO Stamp Rally across three wards.
Niantic is pulling out the stops for Pokémon GO's 10th anniversary. Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Tokyo runs four days from May 29 to June 1, centered on Odaiba Seaside Park, Symbol Promenade Park, and Shiokaze Park, but the real change is what happens outside the gates. A city gameplay mode activates on May 25, turning all of Tokyo (islands excluded) into a playable area. For 3,000 yen per day, a Town Exploration Ticket gives attendees a structured way to play on the streets without a park ticket.
The event introduces Zeraora to Pokémon GO for the first time via Special Research, and Super Mega Raids for Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y will run alongside Mewtwo Raid Battles for the entire event. Non-game attractions include a Pikachu Dance Stage, Pikachu Ondo in GO Fest, AR photo booths at Toranomon Hills and Roppongi Hills, and a GO Stamp Rally covering Minato, Koto, and Shinagawa wards starting May 25. The venue operates in two sessions, morning and afternoon, with a changeover system.
