Pokémon Go Fest 2025: Costumed Falinks and fancy Pikachu in focus!
Today, May 21, 2025, excited trainers and fans are preparing for the highly anticipated Pokémon Go Fest 2025. This annual event, organized by Niantic, aims to unite the community and offer special in-game rewards. Pokémon Go has introduced many costumed Pokémon in the past, and this year the tradition continues.
A special highlight will be the new, costumed Falinks, which will be presented as “Choo Choo Falinks” in a train look. This creative version features Falinks, a Fighting-type Pokémon, in a formation reminiscent of a locomotive. “Brass” is depicted as a locomotive at the front, while the other members follow behind in the form of wagons, which symbolizes the togetherness of the group. playcentral.de reports that details regarding the availability of this new Pokémon during the festival are yet to be announced. Players are speculating that Choo Choo Falinks could appear both in the wild and during raids.
New design for Pikachu
As part of the Pokémon Go Fest 2025, Pikachu will also receive special attention. The iconic Pokémon gets a new design that gives it a top hat and a monocle. Pikachu will also be available in six different color variants. As with Falinks, it is reported that the costumed Pokémon cannot be transferred to Pokémon Home and will be limited to Pokémon Go. comicbook.com points out that in the past, such creative designs have mostly been introduced during special events or in conjunction with other Pokémon media.
