Pokémon Go Fest 2023: Global event guide and habitat schedule

Pokémon Go Fest 2023’s global counterpart is finally here, allowing everyone to get in on the fun (moreso if they pay for a ticket). This event offers the usual rotating habitats for all players, plus tons of bonuses to those who purchase a ticket. $14.99 global event ticket.

Both Saturday and Sunday are included in the event. On August 26 and 27, from 10am to 6pm in local time.

There will be a lot of bonuses throughout the entire event. These include no limits on remote raids for the duration of the whole weekend, and lures that last an hour instead of 30 minutes. See the complete list below.

Pokémon Go Fest 2023: Global ticket holder perks

Trainers can take advantage of rotating habitats and Field Research. Raids are also available.

• The Special Rewards of Research Diancie On Saturday
• Mega Rayquaza Sunday: Special research
• The Global Challenges that offer bonuses to ticket holders who complete them
• Via special spawns, you can get a lot of spawns. Insense Unown, Pawniard and Hisuian Growlithe (A, D, I and M)
• Increased chance of finding shiny Pokémon
• Up to six special trades per day
• Habitat-based collection challenges
• Spin photodiscs in gyms to get up to 9 free raid tickets
• 7 km eggs with special Pokémon inside

Pokémon gated by real-money tickets usually do release for everyone, just later. If you’re not in a rush to get Diancie or you don’t care for these other perks, you can always save your money and get the mythical Pokémon later.

Tickets buyers need to keep an eye out for Pachirisu, Carnivine and Diancie. These two Pokémon are usually regional exclusives, so you’ll want to grab them for your Pokédex during this event.
