The Pokémon GO Festival

Parks, streets, and squares will be part of the route for those taking part in Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global. The event will take place within the mobile game and can be joined from anywhere in Madrid, both days from 10:00 to 18:00 local time.

Throughout the day, themed hours will alternate, dedicated to Steel- and Dragon-type Pokémon, with appearances by Charmander, Onix, Lucario and Dratini, among others. Duraludon Gigamax will make its debut in the game, as will Dialga Dinamax and Palkia Dinamax. Dialga will be available in the Combates Max on Saturday and Palkia in those on Sunday. Machamp in a jacket will appear in raids.

Safari Balls will help capture formidable Pokémon and can be obtained at PokéStops and Gym photo discs. They must be used before the event ends, as they will disappear from the Bag afterwards. All players can get up to three free raid passes per day.

Basic participation will be free. The additional ticket, costing around €11, will unlock a special research with two paths, Steel or Dragon, and an encounter with Duraludon Gigamax. It will also offer a higher chance of finding Shiny Pokémon, double Candy for catches, and up to six free raid passes per day.
