Not only will Go Fest 2024: Sendai, which runs from May 30 to June 2, introduce Marshadow, but it’s also where players can start fusing Necrozma with Solgaleo or Lunala using a new set of Pokémon Go energy. All of the classic Go Fest bonuses are also in play, such as a Habitat Rotation, Collection Challenges, and plenty of Special Research. Here’s a full event and schedule guide for Pokémon Go Fest 2024: Sendai.
