Pokemon GO Fest went live on August 4, 2023, in London and Osaka. You have three days to enjoy everything it offers until it ends on August 6, 2023. If you have the means to travel to a different country, you can participate in the in-person events during the London GO Fest as well. So, three in-person events at three different locations before going live globally, this year’s Pokemon GO Fest will be a banger, to say the least!
The good news for the shiny hunters is that many of the Pokemon will enjoy a boosted shiny spawn, alongside a few new shiny debuts during the GO Fest 2023. This article is a guide to different shiny spawns depending on your location during the Pokemon GO Fest 2023.
