Pokémon Go Fest Global 2026's end marks the official conclusion of the event, but there's still things you can do after hours if you wish to keep playing.
It's also an hour later than usual this year, in part because of the 10th anniversary, and also the rotating habitat schedule which sees every single Pokémon Type accounted for in a rotating spawn schedule.
Pokémon Go Fest Global 2026 end time: When does Go Fest Global end?
Pokémon Go Fest Global 2026 ends at 7pm local time on Sunday, 12th July. This means spawns and the rotating habitat schedule will wrap up, and the 'Genetic Mastery' Timed Research event will expire.
Though it's also the end of the raid schedule, you'll likely see some raids - including Mega Mewtwo Y - continue into the evening. They won't be at the same frequency as during the event, however, and if you want to continue raiding in earnest, then Remote Raiding into other regions where Go Fest is still live is still an option. (Make sure you grab these free Link Charge Go Fest codes if you are, too.)
You can also no longer progress the 'Road of Legends' Go Pass, so make sure you at least reach level 100 to claim the Lucky Trinket, and if you have paid for the Deluxe track, the Gold Bottle Cap, before 7pm rolls around.
What doesn't stop when Pokémon Go Fest Global 2026 finishes?
Though the event will wrap up at 7pm, the following bonuses will be active until midnight local time:
- Up to nine free Raid Passes from spinning Gyms
- No Remote Raid Pass limit
- Up to six Special Trades
- 1/2 Stardust trade cost
- Open up to 50 Gifts each day
- All Pokémon caught in five-star raids, Primal Raids and Mega Raids have a chance of having a Special Background
- Certain Pokémon may learn Adventure Effects: Kyurem's is Glaciate, Origin Forme Palkia's is Spacial Rend, and Origin Forme Dialga's is Roar of Time
- If you don't get Spacial Rend or Roar of Time, you can always Elite TM them until the end of Pokémon Go Fest: Global on Sunday night
- Premier Balls will be more effective
- Party Power in raids charges faster
- Special stickers from spinning PokéStops and opening Gifts
Finally, though it's tempting to start transferring your unwanted catches from the weekend right away, it's best to wait until the 'Special Anniversary Pikachu Celebration' on Monday, 13th July at 10am local time. This is where a 2x Transfer Candy bonus will kick in, which can increase to 3x Transfer Candy if you buy the event's Deluxe Go Pass track.
