Catch up on Pokémon Day festivities, including news about a new game!

Twenty-eight years ago, the original Pokémon™ Red and Pokémon Green games debuted in Japan. Since then, it’s been a Thunder Wave of different experiences, including games, shows, tournaments, and more!

As a part of today’s festivities, we have a short teaser for a brand-new game coming to the Nintendo Switch™ system in 2025. But before we get there, let’s recap what’s going on with some current favorites.

Pokémon UNITE

Special events are now underway in the Pokémon UNITE game! Starting today, be on the lookout for events to add Miraidon, Sunshine Style Venusaur, Holowear, and more to your game. Please check out the game for all the details.

You can download Pokémon UNITE for free on Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon™ Café ReMix

A new event is here! Play “Cook and collect” to receive various rewards by collecting items dropped by Pokémon during puzzles. Collect Gimmighoul Coins and see what else you can find!

Also, fans of Koraidon and Miraidon may want to check out new bingo events that allow these fearsome (and adorable) Legendary Pokémon to join your café staff. Please check out the game for the exact timing of each event.

Just like Pokémon UNITE, you can download the Pokémon Café ReMix game for free on Nintendo Switch.

Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet

A trio of special Tera Raid Battle events* are headed to the Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet games! Prepare your team because The Mightiest Venusaur, The Mightiest Blastoise, and The Mightiest Charizard are on their way. Each have a different event period, so mark your calendars:

• A Mighty Venusaur

  • Event timing: Feb. 27 at 4:00 p.m. to March 5 at 3:59 p.m. PT

• A Mighty Blastoise

  • Event timing: March 5 at 4:00 p.m. to March 12 at 4:59 p.m. PT

• A Mighty Charizard

  • Event timing: March 12 at 5:00 p.m. to March 17 at 4:59 p.m. PT

Please note that you can only catch one Mightiest Venusaur, Mightiest Blastoise, and Mightiest Charizard per save data, and a Nintendo Switch Online membership** (sold separately) is required to participate in Tera Raid Battles with other Trainers online.

And finally…

New Pokémon game coming in 2025!

A new challenge in the Pokémon series of video games, will be released simultaneously worldwide on Nintendo Switch in 2025. It will be a completely new adventure set entirely within “Lumiose City,” a city where re-development is in progress with the goal of being a place where humans and Pokémon can coexist.
