AI Summary
Pokémon GO Fest 2026 hits Seoul on July 11th-12th. Mega Mewtwo X and Y debut with free access for everyone. Expect exclusive bonuses and special event spawns daily.

Look, let's be honest: Niantic is bringing the noise on the 12th, announcing that the annual Pokémon GO Fest 2026: Global will feature a dedicated physical event at Banpo Hangang Park in Seoul. Running from July 11th to 12th, this gathering is set to be a key part of the global festivities, accessible to trainers across the country.
The site will be kitted out with a community hub for players to mingle, alongside team lounges for the Instinct, Mystic, and Valor factions to coordinate their efforts. If you are hunting for regional exclusives or rare catches, the Trading Zone is the place to be. Plus, they have promised plenty of photo spots and those iconic oversized Pikachu balloons to keep the atmosphere buzzing.

Now for the headline act: Mega Mewtwo X and Mega Mewtwo Y are finally making their debut. You can challenge Mega Mewtwo X in Mega Raids on July 11th, followed by Mega Mewtwo Y on the 12th. Players will have to make a tough choice between the two via Timed Research, and completing the Special Research with Professor Willow will grant you Zeraora. A solid choice for any collector.
The event also brings out some stylish critters, including Pikachu donning team-themed caps, plus Bulbasaur, Charmander, and Squirtle wearing festive Pikachu visors. Every hour, you can expect a rotation of 18 different Pokémon types, ranging from Fire and Ice to Psychic and Dragon.
In a surprisingly generous move, Niantic has made this year's event entirely free to enter, meaning every trainer who logs in gets access to the Special Research and other perks. Expect daily bonuses like nine free Raid Passes, up to six Special Trades per day, a 50% reduction in Stardust costs for trades, and the ability to open up to 50 Gifts daily. Best of luck out there!
