The event kicks off at the same time around the world from July 13 to 14, but Niantic has made it difficult to find the exact time, which is what brought you to us in the first place. So, let’s tell you when it starts and ends so you can plan your day wisely.

When does Pokémon Go Fest start?

Pokémon Go Fest starts at 10am local time on July 13 and July 14 and ends at 6pm local time on both days.

The event is split between two days, with different events scheduled to take part. On Saturday, the focus is on Ultra Beast raids and getting Marshadow, while on Sunday, the other forms of Necrozma take over.

On Saturday, trainers have different habitats that change every hour, each having their own distinct Pokémon to catch. Then, every Pokémon can spawn simultaneously on Sunday, which should be a bit chaotic if you are only looking for one Pokémon out of the dozens on offer. It all equals out to plenty to do over the two-day event, and the variety of activities and Pokémon on offer for you intrepid trainers.

You only get eight hours of playtime a day if you want to take advantage, and paid ticket owners get extra bonuses, including incense spawns, so there’s a lot to do in such a short period of time.
