Get hyped trainers, a whole batch of City Safari events have been announced for across the globe in September 2026!

• Boston, USA

What to Expect

Exclusive Pokémon

City Safari events typically feature a debut of an exclusive Pokémon each year, with their shiny released. 2023 saw the debut of Skiddo, later released globally during GO Fest. 2025 saw a focus on Mudbray, which has yet to have a global release.

Could 2026 see a new Pokémon debut for the City Safari events?

Eevee Explorers Expedition

Ticket-holding Trainers can gear up to assist Professor Willow and Eevee in learning more about the Pokémon appearing during the event. And Eevee seems ready for a big adventure—Trainers will encounter Eevee wearing an explorer hat at the beginning of the City Safari Special Research!

• Explore the city with Eevee as your buddy, and there’s no telling what you may discover!
• You’ll be able to evolve Eevee to any of their known Eeveelutions with the Explorer Hat, so be sure to collect as many of them as you can! Each evolution requires 50 candies, and some have their own special requirements.

^The only way to obtain these Pokémon wearing an explorer hat is by using 25 Eevee candy to evolve an Eevee wearing an explorer hat.

Eevee Explorers Timed Research

Rewards

You’ll be able to evolve Eevee to any of their known Eeveelutions with the Explorer Hat, so be sure to collect as many of them as you can! Each evolution requires 50 candies, and some have their own special requirements.

City Safari Stamp Rally

GO Stamp Rally is coming to City Safari! The in-game stamp rally replaces previous City Safaris’ Timed Research, but the rewards are the same. Collect up to eight stamps as part of this stamp rally and earn an encounter with Eevee wearing an explorer hat for each stamp!*

*If you’re lucky, you may encounter a Shiny one! Learn More about GO Stamp Rally at City Safari events HERE.

How to Participate

Each GO Stamp Rally has a unique theme, requiring Trainers to visit designated PokéStops to collect stamps. By checking your Map, you can view which locations are participating in a Rally.

1. When you are near a participating PokéStop, a stamp icon will appear on the map. 
2. Once you approach the PokéStop, you will automatically receive a stamp sheet.
3. Spin the Photo Disc where a stamp icon is displayed, and a circular stamp sheet will appear.
4. Tap or press and hold the centre of the circle; the density of the ink will vary based on how long you press. Please Note: Stamps cannot be re-stamped or adjusted once placed.
5. A stamp animation will play, indicating you have received the stamp.
6. You can collect 8 stamps in total during your Stamp Rally.
7. For each stamp, you’ll get an encounter with Eevee wearing an explorer hat. If you’re lucky, it may be shiny! You can track your collection progress on the Scrapbook page.
8. The City Safari stamp rally can only be completed once daily during the event hours.

You can track your progress by viewing all collected stamps in the Scrapbook page.
