Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Max Finale Announced as Grand Final Event
2025-07-01 03:24:36Niantic has officially revealed Pokemon GO Fest 2025: Max Finale, an exciting two-day event set to take place on August 23-24. This grand finale comes as the culmination of the current Delightful Days season, following the successful global GO Fest event featuring Zacian and Zamazenta.
The recent GO Fest: Global event introduced players to Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta, along with special reward codes and new Adventure Effects for Raids and Max Battles. While many assumed the seasonal celebrations had concluded, Niantic surprised fans with this final major event announcement.
Through an atmospheric trailer, Pokemon GO teased the Max Finale event with the tagline "Prepare while you can, because the countdown to something BIG is starting." The video shows Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta preparing for battle as storm clouds gather, with a mysterious glowing portal appearing in the sky. This has led to widespread speculation among players about the potential debut of Eternatus, the Legendary Pokemon from Sword and Shield.
Eternatus, the Poison/Dragon-type Legendary from Generation 8, is known for its powerful Eternamax form seen in Pokemon Sword and Shield's climax. While players could catch Eternatus in its regular form, the Eternamax version remained unobtainable. Its potential introduction in Pokemon GO would mark a significant addition to the game's Legendary roster.
As fans await more details about GO Fest: Max Finale, they can enjoy Pokemon GO's 9th Anniversary Party starting July 1. This celebration will feature special costumed Pokemon, the shiny debut of Gimmighoul, and various Friendship bonuses.
