Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be entirely online. Tickets are available now in the in-app shop, with the weekend-long ticket set at $14.99 with taxes and fees where applicable. Since it’s an all-digital event, trainers don’t have to worry about tickets selling out.

There will be several features in the Pokémon Go Fest 2020, including Niantic Social, a Pokémon Go Fest Virtual Team Lounge, Report Advertisement area, a Print at Home Kit​, a Global Challenge Area, and rotating habitats.

Because of the recent protests against systemic racism and police brutality, part of the event’s profits will be donated to charity. At least $5 million of the profits from Go Fest 2020 will be donated to fund projects for black AR creators. The rest will go to U.S. non-profit organizations focusing on rebuilding local communities.
