Pokémon Go Fest Ticket Holders Enjoy Exclusive Early Access to New Creatures Starting Today

Starting today, Pokémon Go players have the chance to catch Carbink, but there’s a catch – you need an early Go Fest ticket. This special opportunity runs until July 5, so grab your ticket if you haven’t yet.

Early Birds Get Carbink

Carbink joins the Pokémon Go world at 5pm local time for players with a Go Fest 2023 early ticket. If you caught this news in time, you can take part in the fun Carbink-catching action. For those with a ticket, a special research unlocks this encounter starting today.

Tasks to Unlock Rewards

As Serebii highlights, In The Rough research rolled out this morning. To get its rewards, ticket holders should play with their buddy, open gifts, make great throws, power up Rock and Fairy types, and catch 25 different Pokémon species.

More Than Just Carbink

Catching a Carbink early brings ticket holders 3,000 XP and Silver Pinap Berries. There’s more research coming in July for ticket holders, available for those who purchase a ticket before August 1. This research starts on July 15, with details yet to be announced.

If you’re not getting an early ticket, Niantic hasn’t said when Carbink will be up for grabs. However, they did confirm Diancie’s debut during Go Fest. Many fans guessed Diancie’s appearance after spotting birthday celebration hints in the Go Fest logo.

Go Fest Turns Seven

This year’s Go Fest is extra special as it marks Pokémon Go’s seventh anniversary. For the first time, the event will be in London, happening the weekend of August 26. Buying a ticket early not only gets you rewards like the chance to catch Carbink, but there are more surprises to come.
