Pokémon Go has detailed Go Fest 2021, its massive summer event weekend, which will offer an eye-catching array of creatures to capture for a particularly eye-opening price.
This year, tickets for the two-day affair cost just £5 (or $5), a third of 2020’s fee. Once again, there will be no physical event, and all players will be able to take part wherever they are.
There will also be plenty to do for people who don’t purchase a ticket.
Day 1, Saturday 17th July from 10am until 6pm local time, will feature the return of hourly rotating habitats with themed species (Jungle, Desert Mountain, Ocean Beach and Cave) and creatures relating to music – a theme for the overall event – for all players.
New costumed Pikachu will appear in the wild, while costumed Galarian Ponyta and Galarian Zigzagoon will appear in raids. Shiny Whismur, Chimecho, Audino, and Tympole will make their debuts.
On top of all that, players who are ticket holders will be able to take part in hourly global challenges for bonuses, four collection challenges themed after each habitat, and be able to (somehow) put together a Pokémon music group via a new Special Research questline. This story will debut a new Mythical Pokémon to the game (which is clearly going to be the musical Meloetta).
