Niantic is tuning up for another exciting Pokemon GO event, this time with a musical twist. The "Summer Concert" celebration will run from July 19 through July 22, 2025, offering trainers worldwide a unique auditory experience alongside special gameplay bonuses. This event continues Niantic's tradition of creating immersive experiences that blend real-world exploration with digital gameplay.

Since its groundbreaking launch in 2016, Pokemon GO has consistently pushed the boundaries of mobile gaming. By combining augmented reality with geolocation technology, the game transformed the fantasy of catching Pokemon in the real world into a global phenomenon. Over the years, Niantic has expanded the experience with regular updates, social features, competitive elements, and a constant stream of events that keep the community engaged.

The Summer Concert event honors Junichi Masuda, the legendary composer behind many iconic Pokemon series soundtracks. Players logging in during the event will enjoy a special musical arrangement personally selected by Masuda, creating a nostalgic atmosphere for long-time fans while introducing newer players to the franchise's rich musical heritage.

Event Details and Bonuses

The Summer Concert runs from July 19 to July 22, 2025, with several exciting bonuses:

• Extended Lure Module duration (1 hour)
• Increased chance to encounter Shiny Chatot at PokeStops
• Special Pokemon appearances including Jigglypuff, Lotad, Kricketot, Chatot, Audino, Noibat, and Popplio
• Event-exclusive Field Research task featuring Spinda (with shiny chance)

This musical celebration isn't the only event on the horizon. Niantic has also announced the debut of Dynamax Latios and Latias during a Max Battle weekend from July 26-27, 2025, giving trainers another reason to stay engaged with the game.

While these events bring excitement, Niantic recently discontinued support for 32-bit Android devices, focusing resources on newer technologies. This change, though disappointing for some players, allows the developer to continue innovating for the majority of the player base.
