Pokémon Go Fest 2025 is here, bringing with it an exciting lineup of habitat hours, unique spawns, and legendary raid battles! Whether you’re a longtime trainer or a newcomer eager to dive into the action, this guide will unlock everything you need to know about the event’s habitat schedule, featured Pokémon, and raid opportunities so you can make the most of your Go Fest weekend.
What Are Habitat Hours at Pokémon Go Fest 2025?
Habitat hours are a fan-favorite tradition where themed groups of Pokémon take center stage, appearing more frequently in the wild during specific hourly blocks. For Go Fest 2025, there are four distinct habitats rotating every hour over the course of both event days:
- Moonless Volcano
- Galvanic Dojo
- Hypnotic Tundra
- Fae Swamp
Each habitat appears twice per day, giving you four hours total across the weekend to catch the Pokémon unique to those environments.
