Full Event Details for Pokemon GO Fest 2022, Including Ticket Price and New Shinies
Niantic has revealed today the grand details for Pokemon GO Fest 2022, and it is pretty exciting. Pokemon GO Fest is a celebration of friendship and community, so it’s only appropriate that the Mythical Pokémon Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokémon, should appear during this year’s event! Join Trainers around the world on Saturday, June 4th, 2022, and Sunday, June 5th, 2022, to unlock rewards, earn bonuses, and so much more.
On the second day of the event, a certain Pokémon will be making its Pokemon GO debut in five-star raids. To help face this new challenge, ticket holders will be able to receive up to nine free Raid Passes by spinning Photo Discs at Gyms.
Tickets for Pokemon GO Fest 2022 are available now for US$14.99 (Or your local pricing) and include access to event gameplay on both Saturday and Sunday. Each event day will feature a different experience and, in a Pokémon GO Fest first, a special finale event will take place on Saturday, August 27, 2022! All Trainers who purchase tickets for the global event in June will be granted a ticket for the finale event at no extra charge.
You can get full details + graphics at Niantic’s blog post.
