Volcanion will be rewarded to ticket-owning players for completing an exclusive Special Research story. The blog specifies that only one encounter with the critter is possible per account, even if the trainer purchases tickets to multiple events.

Crowned Sword Zacian and Crown Shield Zamazenta will also debut during GO Fest 2025 — first in the in-person events and then globally. They will likely be in raids, but the exact details have not been revealed yet.

Skiddo and Gogoat will make its global debut for trainers who purchase a Pokemon GO Fest 2025 ticket before April 15, 2025. The critter will be offered via an exclusive Timed Research between April 8 - 15, 2025.

Fans can also expect to see the release of Fan Rotom and return of Klefki globally during this year's event.
