Pokémon GO Fest 2025: Max Finale Announced for August 23–24
Niantic just dropped a big surprise: after an exciting summer of events, Pokémon GO Fest 2025 isn’t over yet. The developers have officially announced a “Max Finale” set for August 23–24, featuring an epic showdown and global Max Battles to cap off the season.
Eternamax Eternatus Teased in Trailer
The teaser trailer shows Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta charging toward a strange, dark sky—giving heavy hints that Eternatus, or even its towering Eternamax form, will be the central battle encounter.
Why Eternamax Makes Perfect Sense
The “Max Finale” name clearly nods to Dynamax mechanics, and Eternatus is canonically the source of Dynamax energy in Galar lore. Plus, the image of Zacian and Zamazenta uniting mirrors the climax of the “Darkest Day” showdown from Sword & Shield—suggesting a similar global raid narrative.
What to Expect August Weekend
Trainers can likely expect:
- Global Max Battle Challenge featuring Eternamax Eternatus
- Remote-friendly raid battles—supported by prior tests at GO Fest Paris and NYC
- Support from Crowned Zacian and Zamazenta joining forces in unprecedented raids
This two-day event promises cross-timezone accessibility and an epic final confrontation for this year’s Dynamax era.
