What Time Does Pokemon Go Fest Start?

Pokemon Go Fest will begin on June 4, 2022, at 10 AM your local time. This means no matter where you are in the world, the festivities begin based on your location. On both June 4 and 5, it will run from 10 AM to 6 PM, giving you eight hours on each day to catch the event Pokemon and complete Special Research tasks.

You’ll need a ticket to access Go Fest’s activities. Luckily, you can purchase one in-game with relative ease. The ticket costs $14.99 (or equivalent pricing in your local areas.) You can also gift event tickets if you have a friendship level of Great Friends or higher.

A few Shiny Pokemon will be available for the first time ever during the event. Here’s a list so you know which to look out for:

  • Shroomish
  • Numel
  • Karrablast
  • Axew
  • Shelmet

These will be on rotation throughout the event so be sure to pop an Incense to attract as many wild Pokemon as possible.

Go Fest is sure to bring out a ton of players in your area, so walk around, meet some new folks, and celebrate all things Pokemon Go this weekend.

Be sure to keep an eye on the time because once the event is over, you’ll be out of luck if you didn’t get everything you set out to capture.

That’s everything you need to know about what time Pokemon Go Fest starts.
