Pokemon Go Fest 2021<\/a><\/p>\n

Pokemon Go Fest 2021<\/strong> is set for summer, and because Covid-19 is still very much a thing, it’s an online event that’ll occur simultaneously around the world.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

This year’s Pokemon Go Fest event has been scheduled for July 17 and July 18, with developer Niantic describing this year’s festivities as a “global event.” Not too much else has been revealed about the incoming event just yet, but it sounds like something big is in the works to celebrate a significant milestone for the mobile game.<\/p>\n

“2021 marks both the twenty-fifth anniversary of Pokemon and the fifth anniversary of Pokémon Go, so trust us when we say you won’t want to miss Pokémon Go Fest 2021!” Niantic wrote in a blog post<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

Time to mark your calendars, Trainers! 🗓️ <\/p>\n

🎊 #PokemonGOFest2021<\/a> will be a two-day global event from July 17 to July 18! 🎊 We can’t wait to show you what’s in store. https:\/\/t.co\/L0fcETooMj<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/jljTUQBE1h<\/a><\/p>\n

— Pokémon GO (@PokemonGoApp) April 27, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The blog post announcing Pokemon Go Fest 2021 makes explicit reference to last year’s various activities, so it stands to reason Niantic will be doing something similar for 2021.<\/p>\n

If last year’s event is going to provide a template, then, we’re going to get something similar to the Global Challenge Arena, The Feeling of Victory Special Research (which provided us with a chance to catch Victini), and more. You can check out the details on our dedicated Pokemon Go Fest 2020 guide<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

If you’re eager for more Pokemon Go content soon, you’re in luck; Pokemon Go will celebrate New Pokemon Snap’s release with a special event,<\/a> and that’s set to kick off on April 29 10am local time and end on May 2 at 8pm local time.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, you can check out our Pokemon Go Egg Chart for April 2021<\/a> at the link.<\/p>\n
