Pokemon GO Partners with Major League Baseball
Special Rewards for Trainers Attending MLB Games
On February 12, 2025, Pokémon GO revealed a new collaboration with Major League Baseball (MLB). This partnership introduces "official club-branded" PokéStops and Gyms to participating MLB stadiums, enabling fans to play Pokémon GO while enjoying live baseball.
Trainers who attend these special MLB games can look forward to the following in-game benefits:
• Exclusive club-branded merchandise
• Unique avatar items for your in-game character
• Special Timed Research with opportunities to encounter Pokémon
• Raid Battles offering a chance to catch Pokémon with an exclusive Location Background
Event Period: May 9 to September 7, 2025
Pokémon GO has also released the schedule and locations for the themed games. The event kicks off with the Cleveland Guardians on May 9, 2025, and concludes with the Texas Rangers on September 7, 2025. Visit the official Pokémon GO news page for the complete list of participating games.
Fans have expressed great excitement for this collaboration, though some have questioned why additional MLB teams were not included. Many hope to see more club-branded PokéStops and Gyms added in the future. However, concerns have been raised regarding network connectivity at the events, as large crowds at MLB games can strain cellular data networks. Adding Pokémon Go to the mix might result in slower data speeds than usual.
