Pokémon GO Fest 2024: Dates, locations, spawns and more

Niantic have unveiled the details, dates and locations for four 2024 Pokémon GO Fest events. There will be three in person events, and one global online event as usual. Trainers will have the chance to explore three exciting cities, with both park and city-wide experiences making a return.

Unlike 2023, the 2024 Pokémon GO Fest calendar is a bit more spaced out. This would, in theory, allow trainers to attend all three in person events if they wished.

Marshadow is the featured Mythical Pokémon debuting at all of these events. No matter which you attend, you'll get the same chance to encounter Marshadow.

Pokémon GO Fest usually debuts a Mythical Pokémon into Pokémon GO. Pokémon GO Fest 2024 will welcome Marshadow to the game.

Marshadow will be available via Special Research, granting trainers one encounter with the Gloomdweller. You'll have to have a ticket for one of the events in order to get the Special Research.

If you're planning to attend more than one GO Fest event, or play online as well as attending one of the events, you will be limited to one Marshadow. Attending multiple events will not give you multiple Marshadows.

However, you will instead get Marshadow Candy from the Special Research instead. Given you can't encounter another Marshadow, that is still a pretty good reward.

You'll also be able to encounter Klefki during the event too.

The first Pokémon GO Fest 2024 event will be held in Sendai, Japan between May 30 and June 2. The park experience will be held at Nanakita Park.

The Park Experience runs from 9:30 JST to 13:30 JST or 14:30 JST to 18:30 JST. The City Experience runs from 9:30 JST to 18:30 JST.

Here are some of the best Pokémon spawns that you will encounter:

Tickets for the event will cost ¥3100 with the early bird discount. After that expires, the price will rise to ¥3600. Additional days of city experience will cost extra.

While the event is free to play, there is a $14.99 ticket to enhance your experience. The Global Event Ticket will grant boosted shiny odds and other event bonuses. Buying the ticket from the Pokémon GO webstore will also award you a free 2024 Go Fest Tee.
