Pokémon GO is gearing up for a thrilling crossover with the upcoming Pokémon Night Out events! Pokémon GO will be heading to both Los Angeles and London for these exclusive live celebrations. If you are lucky enough to attend in person, you can look forward to special in-game bonuses, unique raid bosses, themed wild encounters, and rare avatar rewards.
Whether you are heading to the West Coast or across the Atlantic, here is a complete breakdown of everything you need to know to make the most of your Pokémon GO experience at Pokémon Night Out.
Pokémon Night Out Event Dates and Locations
Mark your calendars! The Pokémon Night Out celebrations are scheduled for two major international arenas:
- Los Angeles, USA: Taking place at the Intuit Dome on October 24, 2026.
- London, England: Taking place at the O2 Arena on November 10, 2026.
Attending Trainers opening the game at either venue will unlock exclusive event bonuses and encounter unique event-themed Pokémon.
Pokémon Night Out Event Exclusive Bonus
To help you maximize your gameplay while enjoying the live atmosphere, a special bonus will be active for attendees:
Extended Lure Modules: Any Lure Modules (excluding Golden Lure Modules) activated during the event at the venue will last for one full hour instead of the standard duration. Make sure to stock up on Lure Modules before heading out so you can keep the spawns rolling for yourself and fellow Trainers around you!
Special Pokémon Night Out Event Raids
Raid battles at the event venues will feature special Pokémon, and every single Pokémon caught from these raids will come with a unique Los Angeles or London Location Background, depending on which city’s event you attend. These location backgrounds serve as fantastic, permanent souvenirs of your time at the event.
- One-Star Raids: Pikachu
- Three-Star Raids: Gengar
