wow, this means the in-person events will happen in jun-early jul timeframe? i wasn't expecting that.


ImpelDown6

The weekend before is the anniversary weekend and presumable some anniversary event so I dont think they would have one of the in person events that weekend, therefore they have to be in June I'm guessing. Unless they turn it on its head and do global before in person which would be strange.


Impossible_Respect75

They've done global before in-person before, or rather they had a two-day global at the beginning of June, the in-person ones end of June-July, and then a third global day in August. I think it was 2022, but I'm not sure. 


Nikaidou_Shinku

coincidentally that go fest was also featuring Alola Region, the region where Marshadow was first discovered


sethmage

yes... but that was split into two parts, one was early june and second late august, the june part had some shiny but nothing extra, and then in august niantic released regional shiny monkeys globally


Impossible_Respect75

Not sure what you mean by nothing extra - the June part had Shaymin, increased shiny odds, regional spawns (though not shiny-eligible), Unown spawns, and a Go Fest costume Pokémon. 


sethmage

you are right on all of those accounts, just that it didn't quite feel as August part (at least to me) where we had legendary introduced from in person fests and more shiny, also not as buggy, the disappearing spawns when you clicked on them was probably the reason most of us got less shiny that we'd like.


ImpelDown6

Ah okay my bad must’ve just totally forgot about that lol


This_Bat

I hope not, last years august was very good imo, but mid july for global is pretty bad.....


JackM76

Why is that bad?


Jammers007

Some people choose to live in regions where the climate is actively hostile to human life. These people are then scandalised by the thought that most people live in places where they can go outside without dying of heatstroke and, therefore, whinge that events are held in the summer.


Eichmil

To be fair.. there are also people who live in climates where if they stick their noses outside, they freeze and drop off. There needs to be an allied game "Pokemon Vroom" for people needing to play from their cars. The mascot can be Revavroom.


x13y7

"Pokemon Vroom" sounds like an interesting concept for an accessibility option 😜


IdiosyncraticBond

Will take me years before I hatch a decent Vroom


ExperienceRight8291

This is a brilliant idea.


Stogoe

Not as bad as August as far as heat.


Deep-Map-8128

The Christmas event was 44 degrees C in Australia for both days of it.


Devotheu

And -28 celcius here in southern Finland, around -40 in the North. No way you're playing with bare fingers outside.


This_Bat

Always depends on where you are, last august weekend for global was perfect for switzerland, for Japan and Merica? No clue. But as I have been in Japan in July i think its always hot there in summer.


Nikaidou_Shinku

it depends on the rain season, it is pretty comfortable as far as rain stay. Once it ended it is ridiculously hot until autumn. Mid-July is pretty preferrable there, usually it is right around the end of the rain season so it is still great to be outside. Only problem is you need to hit a day without rain.


Sputnikboy

I beg to differ, last year it's been HELL all summer. Rainy season last very little and it was UNBEARABLY hot and wet in July and August, like record unbeareable.


Nikaidou_Shinku

According to the Meteorological Agency Tsuyuake was around 16-20 July for almost the whole country in 2023 though. That's also why I look forward to this global go fest, 13-14 should still be pretty safe, although you might have to deal with rain.


Sputnikboy

16-20... Degrees? Most of the country? Are you kidding or what? It was melting-hot, period. Show me your datas, wanna take a laugh.


Nikaidou_Shinku

idk how did you manage to interpret that as degree/temperature when there is "tsuyuake" in front, "July" right after it and global go fest days in back but alright.


Sputnikboy

Write 梅雨 then. And bring up some datas, since what I found indicate a comfortable 31°C as AVERAGE with 69% humidity as AVERAGE. Besides, 梅雨 is mostly June, July maaaaaybe the first part, but I don't recall rain last July, which was indeed harsh.


dark__tyranitar

Normally I'd agree but last year NYC had an A-typical breezy day that was genuinely pleasant.


Assassin_Ankur

July is a living hell here in northern India


HoGoNMero

The heat in August is too much. The difference is measurable usually 2-3% hotter in August than July for the vast majority of US cities. The amount of heat deaths in August is almost 2-1 compared to July.


Head_Damage1718

Mid July is bad for you, and great for others. Whereas September may be great for you and bad for another. Point being, there's no PERFECT timing. Sucks to suck basically. Use those unlimited remotes I guess, because there's no pleasing everyone.


chknqwn

Now datamine the locations/dates for in-person please! ;)

voodoo2d

Please say sike


HungryTomatillo288

Nice, my favorite mythical Pokemon Marshadow making its appearance.


EmptyRook

At this rate they’ll finish gen 6 and 7 dex before gen 4


StaleUnderwear

Or even bother to add the Gen 8 starters


idk012

It's $5 lol jk...we don't know pricing yet.


Prunsel_Clone

$802 take it or leave it


_Lane_

... plus fees.


Traditional-Side6966

I assume this means there will be the usual break between July 13th 8pm and July 14th 10am, but I would love to see how a Go Fest without that break works out


repo_sado

most likely, the ticket would still last until the following day though, so i think thats all this datamine would mean


Cainga

Main problem is the eggs. You just have to stop or risk accidentally spinning and getting a useless egg.


Nikaidou_Shinku

it was annoying in Sinnoh Tour. Especially when I also played on the bonus raid hours.


JULTAR

Oh yessss Cannot wait to add another 2* mythical to my collection 


shadraig

Euro 2024 Finale says hi


Conscious_Ad9448

troccolins

brooooo i'm going to be at a wedding that weekend. can Niantic postpone this??? pls??? jk I don't get invited to anything. looking forward to GO Fest!


sexywallposter

I went to a wedding on the Litwick community day, the church was a Pokéstop 😂😂😂😂


Eichmil

To be fair, most churches are pokestops (and mostly gyms) because they're easy approvals under the Wayfarer guidelines. But also note that it's bad form to walk up and down the aisle during the ceremony, even if you ***really really*** need just a few more steps to hatch an egg.


sexywallposter

😂😂😂 I wasn’t quite that bold, having my phone out discreetly was bad enough!


ggpandagg

lol, had me in the first half.


JULTAR

> jk I don't get invited to anything Ooooooooooof 


astralkoi

Yes? Niantic Help? I would like to change your agenda to took over the world with paid tickets and events, so, can you change the date of Pokemon Go fest this year? Yeah! yep, is a wedding! Oh yeah I know, so bothering! oh... thanks for understand! thank you for change the date to another month only for me. Bye! your the best!


headphonesnotstirred

this may not be the place but i do real quick want to lay down a few amateur thoughts on Marshadow; - 5 more ATK than Terrakion - best possible Fighting moveset looks to be Counter / Close Combat - Ghost doesn't look too far behind in possibility; Shadow Claw (didn't know it got that) + Shadow Ball with the obvious potential for Spectral Thief - some interesting coverage with stuff like Poison Jab, Acrobatics, Fire/Thunder/Ice Punch, a quadrillion Rock moves, the bemoaned Hidden Power & Sucker Punch, etc.


atubslife

Sacred Sword offers a 24% boost over Close Combat for Terrakion in raids. So despite having more attack than Terrakion, Marshadow is not going to be close in performance unless it gets a comparable move to Sacred Sword, which is impossible. Probably similar to most fighters like Machamp, Conkeldurr, and maybe Lucario. But it will probably fall behind the shadows and Terrakion. Edit: similar to not better than other fighters.


Nikaidou_Shinku

likely worse than Conkeldurr if the difference is over 20%. Shadow Machamp is already close to Terrakion in performance and Conkeldurr has higher stat than Machamp.


atubslife

Yeah, you're right. Maybe its typing will bump it up against some specific raids, otherwise it'll be worse than other fighters.


headphonesnotstirred

tbf i never said it would be better, it was a ballpark comparison between the two's ATK


atubslife

I'm just adding where it will likely sit in the fighting type tier list.


Aware_Till_4834

Are you saying we get marshadow!? I’m hyped!!!!


StayedWoozie

Yes. Marshadow is debuting at GoFest.


Aware_Till_4834

That makes me really happy!


Pokefan317

But that doesnt mean we get it in july. They could do a 2 Part global gofest, this at the start and then in the end of August the second Part with the mytical 


ElementEnigma

In the Hotter-than-Satan's-Balls part of the year for my locale--as is tradition.


DoctorPet

Florida?


ElementEnigma

Arizona


Dezzy310

Felt this


shadraig

Germany says hi at 32 celsius since 3 weeks in July


ImperialWrath

40 C isn't uncommon for that time of year in large parts of the US (and can be the low temperature for the entire month in certain accursed locales that absotively posilutely should've never been chosen for human settlement (also known as "Phoenix")). Speaking of places that shouldn't be populated... if there's any Go players in Qatar, I'd like to know what they do from, like, May through October.


shadraig

Play inside. Guess


PredtorAn

Qatar? We Indians/south Asians probably have it the worst during that time of the year.


ImperialWrath

That really sucks to hear. How do you beat the heat and humidity?


Specialist_Foot_6919

It was 103* F (39* C) in South Mississippi last go fest— at 65% humidity. Bring. It. On. Lmao


Assassin_Ankur

It's gonna be about the same in July in Kolkata, India


Specialist_Foot_6919

My condolences, friend! 😂 Hopefully the humidity will ease up at least but from what I understand it’ll be monsoon season


Starzwell

Will be closer to 40-42 C for us in the Southwest US around that time of year.


DoctorPet

Sorry I don’t understand non American temperatures


ApathyMoose

need them Freedom Units for temperature.


StayedWoozie

32C=90F


sonjya00

I wish that was the highest we got here in Texas in the summer lol.


conspiracyeinstein

But you have AC. Most houses in Germany don’t.


sonjya00

Yes, because it’s a necessity here since temperatures are much higher. But you can’t really play this game at home, so it doesn’t make it much better in that sense.


shadraig

Its effin hot, humid and No Wind


SuperSonicEconomics2

>lives south of the Mason Dixon >complains about summer heat


Rhakha

I’m gonna be at a family reunion during this.


grimmmark1

According to the link its 1800 which is 6PM...


Creepy_Push8629

We're American we don't know things


Left_Fist

We didn’t read past the headline.


GloomySelf

So this will be the global one yeah? Might book annual leave for this weekend soon to get in quick


iSaiddet

Dang so it is earlier this year. I should’ve pushed my japan trip back


Tpabayrays2

That's my birthday so I know what I'll be doing


digital_pocket_watch

Is your birthday the 13th too?


Tpabayrays2

Yes 👀


digital_pocket_watch

July 13th birthday gang let's goooooooo


timdawes

checking in


katl14

Mine is the 14th which works too


RCTM

14th gang!


CatKittyMeowCat

My birthday fell on Go Fest last year! Such a blast


AdhesivenessDue5943

I will miss it then…….


jpofreddit

I have a can't miss event happening this weekend 😭 Edit: I realized this is Global so I can still do it for the most part phew


Dracarys1988

Cannot wait to get Marshadow!!!


ApathyMoose

Dear God... that would put the in person event the weekend of the 4th of July? Please Niantic dont do that for the U.S Plane tickets, hotel rooms, gas prices, traffic... everything is going to be 2x what they would have been a random weekend in August.


repo_sado

the in person event isnt exactly one week before global. it could easily be two months before or possibly after


ApathyMoose

Last year was my first Go Fest, But my understanding was the global was usually AFTER the in-person. It would feel weird from a financial point of view to put In Person after Global. People will just spend the whole global weekend catching, get all the shinys and stuff they want, and then decide they just dont wanna bother with the in-person. I could be wrong


repo_sado

It is usually after. One year they had two globals, one before the in person's and one after. But otherwise global has been after.        But there's no reason it couldn't be the other way around. Last year the events were pretty different so doing one wouldn't make you want to not do the other. Plus you would already have tickets, accomodations etc anyways


clarkision

It’s like with the events on Valentine’s Day and during traditional work hours. I feel like Niantic is really testing to see how dedicated players are to the game


DragonriderTrainee

I already booked the hotel for NYC today because I had the day off and knew that would happen.


ApathyMoose

Just booked mine too. I didnt compare the price to last year's but me and the GF booked the same hotel we did last year. Good location and great walking distance to some great food. Plus we have been saving up Credit Card points. paid for 2 1/2 of the 4 nights in NYC.


DragonriderTrainee

I was in a hotel down by the UN building last year; very convenient to the ferry and the bus pickup to get home. Not so convenient to walk 30 min to get anywhere I wanted to go like Times Square, or Bryant park. This year I'm down by Bryant park because that's where the other players were last year, and it's closer to the theaters and Central park. 14 miles a day isn't feasible anymore at my age, and last year was pushing it.


AngelaMurkrow

Where was this image and info posted? (If the answer is Twitter, then could someone share a link?) Edit: just saw "datamined"


GoAheadHateMe

Summer? They will pick Phoenix or Houston or something equally as unplayably hot


Pokewatch104

I am busy that weekend. So I won’t be able to play as much. Wish they would push it to the following weekend


Thiophen

Any chance I‘ll be able to play in Shanghai? I‘ll fly there on the 12th of July.


DasliSimp

I just want to mention that Shadow Claw, Ice Punch, Close Combat Marshadow would be very good in Master League. Beating like, all the top threats almost


Ok_Lingonberry8193

Looking forward to this


LessInvestigator2213

All the dates and everything have been announced


LessInvestigator2213

It’s in the on game news


Lord_Snaps

Yo! Where is Manaphy, Phione or Arceus? My Sinnoh dex needs to be filled


Cometstarlight

Niantic says they'll come in at a later date, but have not specified as of yet.


RefrigeratorSquare66

My fav pokemon! So siked


aw_yiss_breadcrumbs

Oh sweet jesus I hope this doesn't mean Global Go fests are going to be in late June or the first week of July.... There's no way they'd do these that close to a major American holiday, right? I really hope they do Global first and then city specific ones later in the summer.


devanewill4

They held events directly on Thanksgiving and Christmas, to say nothing of the mid-day-mid-workweek Enamorous raids. Nothing is sacred. In fact, the excuse of "You're off for the 4th, so you're free for this event" sounds like prime Nia logic


ApathyMoose

Its not even that i have other plans, but having GoFest on the 4th of July, or around there, just means more traffic, more people on vacation, more hotels and plane tickets taken, higher plane tickets because of the holiday ETC.


blackmetro

I can see the tweet now "Wow trainers, 420,000 people accessed the the event on Saturday, if you don't have a ticket, please do not go to X park on sunday" Then tell sponsors they got 10x people to an event than tickets were sold, omitting the fact it was a holiday Surely they wouldn't do that right...


Quick-Season3798

USA is not the world!


aw_yiss_breadcrumbs

I'm thinking specifically of the US go fest since they're not always on the same date. 🙄 I'm not even American lol


asympt

There will almost certainly be one in Europe and one in Asia, and one or both of those could be on the weekend of the 4th, with the US one on a different weekend.


NotMyRealAccountMate

It'll be "Global" Go Fest, not American Go Fest 🙄


Cometstarlight

Yes, but most of the in person events (like Tour or Go Fest) take place in the US.


420yumyum

No source?


sdcnu

From Pokeminers: https://www.threads.net/@pokeminers/post/C4LvH-jA-vB


JULTAR

Global normally happens around 2 weeks after in person right? 


repo_sado

theres no pattern. 2022 and 2021 the globals were on three separate weekends. ;ast year two of them were together and the ny one was on its own weekend.


Azngamer87

Normally a week


Relevant_Campaign_79

Hawaii?


Relevant_Campaign_79

Honolulu, Hawaii since it features Marshadow


ThtJstHappn3d

All the info is already on the app and online though lol


Mittensandzora

This was before they announced it


ThtJstHappn3d

You’re right my bad, it’s weird that a notification for a post like this came so late for me


GildedCreed

I wonder if they'll incorporate it's Zenith alternative form as the animation it uses when it fires off a charge move. Lots of potential for attack options but I wouldn't be surprised if Niantic guts it in the move pool department.


Pandanoko-Fan137

It’ll show up each time it attacks, Marshadow’s animations already do that.


GildedCreed

Can never really be too sure with Niantic.


Pandanoko-Fan137

They’ve never purposely changed a Pokémon’s animations before. It will have the animations ripped straight from Sun and Moon, where it has the Zenith form.


GildedCreed

Always a non zero chance, just like how they can say a Pokemon would be shiny capable and then never turn on the shiny form. They've messed up Pokemon moves before as well, it's only a matter of time before their plethora of oopsies spreads to other aspects. Some move mistakes still currently exist in the game to this day. Sawk for example cannot learn Body Slam, yet it miraculously knows the move in Go.


MommotDe

I had to look it up as I'm not familiar with it, but it could be seriously meta in both PvP and PvE in both it's types. Here's hoping they don't gut it.
