POKÉMON GO UNLOCKS RARE CREATURE FOR ALL PLAYERS

Niantic has announced that Pokémon Go will feature significant changes during the upcoming Go Fest 2025, including the global release of Skiddo, a creature previously exclusive to paid City Safari events. Scheduled in-person events in Paris, Jersey City, and Osaka will precede the global event on June 28th and 29th. The event will also see the introduction of Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta, along with Volcanion as the primary Mythical Pokémon. Additionally, players express concerns regarding Niantic's potential sale of Pokémon Go to Scopely, known for aggressive monetization tactics.

At Go Fest 2025, players can expect to catch Crowned Sword Zacian, Crowned Shield Zamazenta, Volcanion, and Skiddo, the latter now available globally after being previously restricted to specific city events.

Pokémon Go debuted in 2016 and quickly became a cultural phenomenon, allowing players to catch Pokémon in real-world locations using augmented reality technology. Over the years, the game has introduced numerous updates and events, keeping its player base engaged even amidst evolving mobile gaming trends. The upcoming Go Fest 2025 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated events, reflecting Niantic's focus on accessibility and new content for dedicated Pokémon trainers.
