Ticket-holding Trainers will only encounter Volcanion once no matter how many Pokémon GO Fest 2025 Special Research stories they acquire and complete. If you obtain more than one Special Research story that leads to Volcanion by attending multiple GO Fest events, all of the Special Research stories after the first one will award Volcanion Candy instead of an additional encounter with Volcanion.

If you obtain Special Research from an in-person GO Fest 2025 event, you will receive Volcanion Candy as a reward for the global GO Fest 2025 Special Research instead of another Volcanion.

During Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global, ticket-holding Trainers will be able to encounter Skiddo and Klefki in Pokémon GO for the first time globally. Make the most of this fortuitous occasion—Skiddo was previously only found during City Safaris, and Klefki is typically only found in France.
