During Go Fest 2023: Global on Aug. 26 and 27, players will see a number of Pokémon appearing in different Habitat Rotations. This will change which Pokémon you see each hour and also ties into various gameplay elements like Collection Challenges and Special Research.

If you are looking for specific Pokémon, you can easily locate them during certain habitats and then try to catch as many as possible. If you are lucky, you could even encounter a few Shinies along the way.
