Pokémon Go Fest 2020 will take place on July 25-26. Traditionally, the weekend event has taken place at a particular physical location, but because of COVID-19, this is happening virtually. All Pokémon Go fans all over the world can take part in it and capture the variety of unique Pokémon that will appear at times. This is a limited time event. So here's all the information you need before it happens, and how to make the most of it.
To buy tickets
While the Pokémon Go Fest for 2020 is a virtual event, it requires a ticket. You can purchase a ticket from your app by opening it, clicking the Poké Ball icon in the middle of your screen, and going to the store. You can purchase the ticket below the bundles. It costs $ 14,99 and counts for both days.
Fill up on incense and Poké Balls
There will be a variety of different Pokémon available on day one, and many of them are generally difficult to capture or do not normally spawn in your area. The more Poké Balls you have on your person, the more likely you are to catch them all. Additionally, you can use incense to attract them to your location. The specific event on Day XNUMX is split into five rounds, each focused on a particular type of Pokemon and showcasing their favorite habitats. Here are the five virtual habitats:
- Feu
- Water
- Herbe
- Battle
- Friendship
These habitats will only last for one hour, for a period of 10 hours, which means you can expect to see each habitat twice on July 25.
Prepare for Team Rocket Trouble
The second day is supposed to be a surprise. This will likely revolve around the Team Rocket issues that had arisen in the second week leading up to Pokémon Go Fest this year. It featured Team Rocket taking flight with their balls and combat coaches all over the world. This is another feature introduced due to COVID-19 to help players who want to fight Team Rocket, but cannot locate nearby Pokéstops due to social distancing.
The balloons introduced new battles, and the leaders had different Pokémon than they had been using since March. Even Giovanni had a new legendary. Pokémon Go Fest 2020 will likely feature Giovanni with a ghost version of Mewtwo, so you can expect to capture him during the event. You will probably have to fight Giovanni. The battle will likely take place on the second day but could occur during the first.
A new legendary
The tale behind the three-week challenges that developer Niantic has been making available to all trainers since the start of July featured Professor Willow on the hunt for a new Legendary. While the game has been kept a mystery, a new tweet from the official Pokémon Go Twitter page shows a piece of paper left behind by Team Rocket attempting to capture the mythical creature, featured below.
Although not named, the Pokémon is Victini, a Legendary Psychic and Fire-type Pokémon from the Unova region. Victini will likely debut at Pokémon Go Fest 2020, and those who attend the virtual event will have a chance to capture it.
Virtual team rooms
Throughout the event, starting Friday, July 24 at 14 p.m. PT, everyone can visit their team's virtual lounge to spend time with players, event coordinators, developers and more. others that will stop during Pokémon Go Fest. The traditional event allowed players to stop to rest and win prizes. This virtual location will be the same, and you can expect live broadcasts, updates on what's going on, and pricing available. You can stop by to experience your virtual team lounge at this location.
Date and hour
The last thing to note for Pokémon Go Fest 2020 is knowing what time it all starts. This is a global event, but it starts on July 25 from 10:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. local time. It starts the next day, July 26 at the same time, and at the same end time but with different events.
For some players, the event will start a little earlier for them due to their time zone. You may be able to find out in advance what is going on by checking social media or checking out your team's lounge before the festivities begin.
