– when our community makes GO Fest one of the most spectacular and beautiful events! #
Last weekend was the big day: Pokémon GO Fest Global 2025 got trainers around the world moving—and we had the pleasure of spending two very special days with you, our Pokémon GO Düsseldorf community, in the beautiful Hofgarten park in Düsseldorf.
Our Meetup events were a resounding success. Numerous trainers gathered on site, hunted together, raided, laughed, and, of course, caught plenty of Pokémon. Some of you were already out and about at 8:00 a.m. for the Early Bird Raids Meetups and, despite the heat, continued raiding until 8:00 p.m. It was a great feeling to see our community come together, new friendships form, and old acquaintances be cultivated.
A few trainers were very lucky and managed to get their hands on Zacian Shundos (= Shiny Hundos = shiny Pokémon with perfect stats), which even came with a special Go Fest background. In the picture above, the one on the left was caught after a raid, while the one on the right was received after an obviously very successful lucky trade.
As with every Go Fest, there were some great competitions (such as a scavenger hunt throughout the entire Hofgarten and a Pokémon quiz) where you could win a variety of different goodies. This time, there were luggage tags, sunglasses, postcards, fans to beat the heat, Pokéstop key chains, and pins—the highlight being an exclusive pin for the 2025 Go Fest.
A huge thank you goes out to all the coaches who checked in at our Campfire meetup and brought this event to life. Your enthusiasm, fairness, and good spirits made the weekend truly special.
We would also like to express our sincere thanks to our organization team, whose dedication, time, and passion ensured that everything ran smoothly—from planning and communication to on-site implementation. Without you, this event would not have been possible!
