Pokémon Go Fest will return this July as an online event, similar to the virtual Go Fest held in 2020 in response to the pandemic. Pokémon Go developer Niantic announced Thursday that the two-day virtual event will run take place July 17-18, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. local time each day, and will feature a reduced ticket price of just $4.99.

 

Tickets for last year’s Pokémon Go Fest cost $14.99, and this year’s lowered price marks the fifth anniversary of Pokémon Go, which launched July 6, 2016.

 

Pokémon Go Fest 2021 will feature a music festival theme. In accordance with that theme, ticket buyers will have to choose between one of two ticket variations: one featuring Pikachu Rock Star or one featuring Pikachu Pop Star (Niantic says they’ll be tradable). Depending on which ticket players choose, Pikachu Rock Star or Pikachu Pop Star will appear in the wild, and players can fill out their Go Fest in-game “band” with Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Zigzagoon, Gardevoir, and Flygon also getting music-themed costumes to match Pikachu. Musically themed Pokémon, including Chimecho, Kricketot, and Audino, will also be appearing in the wild.

 

Pokémon Go’s in-game music will also change during Go Fest, based on players’ ticket choices. Pokémon music producer Junichi Masuda has produced new music for the event: “a rock-and-rolling track for Pikachu Rock Star fans, a high-energy electro-pop song for Pikachu Pop Star stans,” Niantic said.

 

Pokémon Go Fest 2021 will bring back last year’s hourly habitats. Each in-game habitat will feature the following Pokémon spawning more frequently in the wild:

 

  • Jungle: Scyther, Aipom, and Froakie
  • Desert Mountain: Skarmory, Shieldon, and Hippopotas
  • Ocean Beach: Dratini, Swablu, and Alomomola
  • Cave: Roggenrola, Galarian Stunfisk, and Deino

 

Go Fest ticket holders will also get access to region-specific Pokémon, including Chatot, Sawk, and Throh, during the event. Additionally, Shiny versions of Whismur, Chimecho, Audino, Tympole, Unown F, Sawk, and Throh will make their Pokémon Go debut. Galarian Ponyta and Galarian Zigzagoon wearing special costumes will be appearing in raids on Saturday.
