As the final phase of Pokémon GO Fest 2025 approaches, Niantic has revealed enticing early access perks for ticket holders of the global event. Starting June 23, trainers with tickets will enjoy early access to limited-time egg hatches and shiny Pokémon bonuses—just one of many rewards for participating in the year’s biggest Pokémon GO celebration.
Global GO Fest 2025: What’s New?
Following live events in Osaka (Japan), Jersey City (USA), and Paris (France)—which featured in-person raids against Zacian and Zamazenta, shiny debuts for Carbink and Frigibax, and appearances by Hawlucha—the GO Fest 2025: Global event is now ready to kick off.
The early access period runs from Monday, June 23 at 10 a.m. to Sunday, June 29 at 11:59 p.m. (local time).
Early Access Egg Hatches
During this time, ticket holders will be able to hatch 2 km and 5 km eggs containing rare Pokémon, including:
-
Pancham
-
Vullaby
-
Color variants of Flabebe: blue, orange, red, or yellow
The early access eggs also come with increased shiny odds, matching the boosted shiny encounter rates expected during the full GO Fest 2025: Global experience.
Open Access Comes Later
Even if you don’t have a ticket, you won’t miss out completely. From June 28 at 12:00 a.m. to June 29 at 11:59 p.m. (local time), the same hatch pool will be available to all players, but without the boosted shiny rate reserved for early access trainers.
Why It Matters
This new batch of early access perks provides strong incentives to pick up a GO Fest 2025 ticket. Exclusive shiny rates and a chance to hatch rare Pokémon before the general public give collectors and competitive trainers alike an edge in completing their Pokédex.
Niantic continues to make each Pokémon GO Fest better than the last, and the 2025 global edition is shaping up to be no different. Whether you’re chasing shiny forms, regional rarities, or just joining the fun, ticket holders have a lot to look forward to this June.
