Pokémon Trainers, get ready! The Pokémon Company International is transforming the City of Light into a hub of discovery, with a special weekend event in Paris celebrating the wonder of Mega Evolution. This family-friendly, immersive experience will light up the heart of Paris on September 13 and 14, 2025, inviting fans to step into a real-life Pokémon adventure.
A Citywide Pokémon GO Hunt and More
Starting at Westfield Forum Des Halles, Trainers can dive into a variety of Mega-Evolution-themed activities. For the first time outside of Japan, a special Stamp Rally will be integrated directly into the Pokémon GO app. This isn’t just a simple scavenger hunt—it’s an opportunity to explore some of Paris’s most iconic landmarks, including the Jardin Nelson Mandela, Musée du Louvre, and the Jardin des Champs-Élysées, all while collecting seven unique stamps.
Look for Pokémon-themed chalets at locations like Jardin Nelson Mandela, Place du Louvre, and Place Colette, where you can pick up stamps and soak in the atmosphere. Additional stamps at Les Halles and Jardin des Tuileries can be found using the Pokémon GO app, making it a truly interactive experience.
Unveiling the Secrets of Pokémon Mega Evolution
Head to the Lumiose City Tourism Hub at Westfield Forum Des Halles for a one-of-a-kind immersive space. This free-to-attend area is designed to teach you about the power of Mega Evolution, a temporary transformation that boosts a Pokémon’s power and even changes its type. Learn the secrets of this amazing phenomenon and get ready to become a local expert in all things Lumiose!
Hands-On with a Pokémon New Adventure
For the first time in Paris, fans can get a sneak peek at the highly anticipated Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Playable demos will be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 console, giving Trainers a chance to try two different scenarios: the intense Z-A Royale competition and a thrilling battle against a rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Do you have what it takes to come out on top?
Win a Dream Trip to Japan!
Imagine turning your Parisian adventure into a trip to Tokyo! Trainers who complete the Stamp Rally and share their journey on social media using #PokemonGOParis could win an incredible grand prize: a trip for four to Japan. All the details and official rules will be posted on the official Pokémon Mega Evolution website and the Pokémon GO Blog.
In addition to these major attractions, there’s even more to look forward to:
- Pokémon GO Battle Zone: Test your skills in fun challenges within a park-inspired play space.
- Postcard Collection: Grab exclusive Lumiose City postcards from the Tourism Hub and digitally in the Pokémon GO app, and add stickers from FNAC and Micromania for a personal touch.
- Free Pokémon Goodies: Pick up an event leaflet, a Pikachu headband, and a Pokémon TCG fun pack to kickstart your journey.
Of course, no Pokémon event would be complete without a meet-and-greet! Make sure to say hello to Pikachu and Eevee during their scheduled appearances throughout the day.
This September, Paris is more than just a city; it’s the ultimate playground for discovery, bonding, and Mega Evolution. Whether you’re a seasoned Trainer or just starting your journey, save the date and get ready for an unforgettable Pokémon adventure!
