After the big Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Global event ended on June 29, a brand-new event called the Max Finale is set to happen on August 23 and 24, 2025. This is the first time Pokémon GO is hosting a Max Finale, and it promises to be a thrilling way to wrap up the summer season.
While details are still limited, a teaser trailer hints at something big. The trailer shows the Pokémon GO Fest logo transforming to reveal the ribcage of Eternatus, a powerful Legendary Pokémon.
This has fans buzzing with speculation that Eternatus might play a major role in the event. The event’s theme also seems to tie into the “Darkest Day,” a key storyline from the Pokémon Sword and Shield games.
The Max Finale comes right after the Pokémon World Championships, so players are expecting some surprises, like new Pokémon or game-changing features. Niantic, the creators of Pokémon GO, haven’t shared more specifics yet, but they’ve encouraged trainers to start preparing now.
