Pokémon Go Fest 2024’s global event is finally upon us, with tons of perks and boosted spawns. As usual with these Pokémon Go events, we’re getting rotating habitats that cycle Pokémon in and out of the spotlight, inspired by Necrozma’s dusk and dawn forms.
There are a lot of different perks, alongside new mechanics like Necrozma Fusion and Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy, being introduced during the event.
Alongside a paid ticket which will grant access to bonuses including Marshadow’s “A Shadowy Caper” quest, all players will get access to a Special Research that rewards Cosmog on Sunday, lures will last for one hour, Pokémon will photobomb your snapshots, and remote raiding will be unlimited throughout the weekend.
Below, we list the ticket perks and the rotating habitats in Pokémon Go Fest 2024: Global.
Pokémon Go Fest Global day 2 differences, changes, and research
There are three changes with day 2 of Pokémon Go Fest Global 2024:
In summary, the two quests become the focus around continuing to catch all of Saturday’s habitat Pokémon that now appear throughout the day. Then, if you want the Necrozma form you didn’t unlock during “The Dusk Settles” quest, complete enough raids of the form you don’t have (strong Necrozma counters will make this easier) to earn enough Solar or Lunar Fusion Energy to ensure you end the day with them in your collection. Good luck!
What time does Pokémon Go Fest start and end?
Pokémon Go Fest 2024 takes place on Saturday, July 13, and Sunday, July 14, and has a start time of 10 a.m. and ends at 6 p.m. local time.
Though you are highly encouraged to play throughout the day to make the most of your ticket purchase, and ensure you have plenty of time to complete each habitat’s Collection Challenges, even if you only log in once each day, you will unlock the Special Research to complete at your leisure. (On Saturday, this is Marshadow’s “A Shadowy Caper”.)
Pokémon Go Fest 2024 habitat spawn schedule
These habitats will rotate all throughout Saturday, even if you don’t have a ticket. Each habitat will rotate in twice and be around for an hour before it rotates out.
On Sunday, all of these Pokémon will spawn but there will be no dedicated habitats. Note each habitat has a Collection Challenge which requires you complete them on the Saturday, so make sure you make the most of both hours to do this.

Pokémon gated by real-money tickets usually do release for everyone, just later. If you’re not in a rush to get Marshadow or you don’t care for these other perks, you can always save your money and get the mythical Pokémon later.
Outside of that glorious shiny buff, one of the bigger perks here is access to Maractus and Corsola, two Pokémon that are usually regional exclusives.
Whatever you’re after this Go Fest — best of luck!
Looking for more to do during Go Fest 2024? Remember to get plenty of Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy for Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma — which you can do effectively with strong Necrozma counters — and complete Marshadow research “A Shadowy Caper”.
