Pokémon GO Fest 2025 is the biggest event of the year for trainers worldwide, featuring exclusive spawns, costumed Pokémon, new shinies, and timed bonuses. Whether you're joining in-person events (like Osaka, Jersey City, or Paris) or the global GO Fest (June 28–29), this guide will help you catch the most Pokémon possible — including regionals and event exclusives.

1. Know the GO Fest 2025 Event Locations & Dates

3. How to Maximize Catches

✅ Focus on Research Tasks:

Special and timed research often rewards rare Pokémon like Marshadow and costumed/event Pokémon.

4. Use MocPOGO Pokemon Go Spoofer to Attend Remotely 

If you can't travel, GPS spoofing tools like MocPOGO can simulate your presence at in-person events.

How It Works:

• Download MocPOGO Pokémon Go spoofing on your PC or mobile phone

• Spoof your location to an in-person GO Fest city

• Log in to Pokémon GO and explore the event areas virtually
• Look for exclusive Pokémon like Hawlucha and event regionals

Final Thoughts

Whether you're attending Pokémon GO Fest 2025 in person or playing globally from home, this year’s event is packed with opportunities to catch rare, shiny, and regional Pokémon like Hawlucha, Marshadow, and many more. 

If you can't physically attend an in-person event, using fake GPS tools like MocPOGO offers alternatives to catch exclusives. Remember to always prioritize account safety and follow cooldown rules if you choose to spoof.
