New features and announcements for Pokémon GO Fest: Global 2024!

There are a lot of updates and features coming to Pokémon GO Fest: Global 2024! Let’s start with:

Party game and routes

Gather Your Friends: New Pokémon GO Fest-exclusive party play challenges will be available to Trainers with tickets. Work together with your friends to earn encounters with Sun-Diamond Pikachu and Moon-Diamond Pikachu!

Additionally, Trainers traveling the Routes during Pokémon GO Fest: Global will be able to encounter Ducklett, Emolga, and Crabrawler more frequently!

Not sure how Party Play! or Routes works? Check out our guides for help:

Playing in a group is a great way to increase your damage output in raids, especially when raiding in small groups. It can be helpful to scout the area you plan to play in to see if there are any available routes to explore. If not, try creating some so you have a few ready to use during the GO Fest weekend!

Ticket Holder Incense Appears

Espeon wearing a day scarf and Umbreon wearing a night scarf will be attracted by incense for ticketed trainers during GO Fest 2024: Global.

There will be no limit to Remote Raids from Friday, July 12 to Sunday, July 14, 2024. Trainers will be able to take advantage of this bonus during Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Global, whether they have a ticket or not!

The following Pokémon will appear in Tier 5 raids during GO Fest, along with the recently announced Blacephalon and Stakataka:

New Avatar Items Ahead of GO Fest

An assortment of new GO Fest-themed avatar items have been announced and are set to be available in the in-game store starting July 8, 2024.

First up is the Pokémon GO Fest 2024 t-shirt featuring a Necrozma and prism inspired Pokéball design. It’s based on the actual GO Fest t-shirt design!

Next up are the Sun Crown and Moon Crown avatar items. These are available to those who purchased discounted tickets to Global GO Fest 2024, so this is a chance for those who didn’t do those timed searches to get these avatar items as well.

And finally, a rather hilarious Exeggutor hat and a Necrozma inspired outfit:

• Necrozma Top
• Necrozma Pants
• Necrozma Shoes
• Shades of Necrozma
• Alolan Exeggutor Hat

All Trainers will be able to obtain Pokémon GO Fest 2024-themed stickers from the in-game shop from Friday, May 30, to Sunday, July 14, 2024! These stickers will also be available through PokéStops and gifts during event hours, from Monday, July 8, to Sunday, July 14, 2024.
