Activities That Do Not Require Payment During Pokémon Go Fest 2023
On Day One of Go Fest 2023, which will kick in on Saturday, August 26th, there are going to be four habitats that will rotate on an hourly basis. During certain times, the wild populations of a number of Pokémon with designs inspired by the respective environments, such as Pikachu decked out in a crown, will be more active than usual. During the course of this day, you will also have the opportunity to participate in a variety of raids, including the following:
- Aquamarine Crown Pikachu
- Carbink
- Cowboy Hat Snorlax
- Primal Kyogre
- Malachite Crown Pikachu
- Primal Groudon
- Pyrite Crown Pikachu
- Quartz Crown Pikachu
- Goomy
The Mega Rayquaza game will be available for purchase throughout the world on August 27. But first, you’ll need to track down a Meteorite since you’ll need it in order to teach your Pokémon the legendary Dragon Ascent move, also known as the Charged Attack. This move, along with Mega Rayquaza Energy, is essential for this transformation to take place. To get Meteorites, all that is required of you is to accomplish a unique research mission, which you will be able to access on Day Two of Go Fest.
During Day Two of Go Fest, you can also participate in a variety of raids, including the following:
- Aquamarine Crown Pikachu
- Mega Rayquaza
- Carbink
- Primal Kyogre
- Malachite Crown Pikachu
- Pyrite Crown Pikachu
- Cowboy Hat Snorlax
- Quartz Crown Pikachu
- Primal Groudon
- Goomy
Pokémon Go Fest 2023 Other Expected Features and Surprises
There are five bonuses that are available over the course of the event hours on both days of Go Fest 2023. These bonuses include the opportunity to gather field research jobs that are themed to the various habitat hours, as well as Incense that is active for up to an hour.
Additionally, at Go Fest 2023, four new Pikachus will be made available for purchase. Each Pikachu is decked up in an outfit that corresponds to one of the four habitat hours and has a little crown (at least it’s not a flower). Impressive!
As part of Go Fest 2023, attendees will have the opportunity to purchase a variety of products for their avatars, including the Diancie Headphones, the Go Fest 2023 Tee, the Mega Rayquaza Helmet, and the Mega Rayquaza Set. The in-game avatar shop sells all of these items, and you may get them there.
Lastly, through the 27th of August, you will have the opportunity to keep gathering Go Fest 2023-themed stickers by either spinning PokéStops, receiving them as gifts, or buying them from the in-game store.
