Pokémon Night Out: Location Backgrounds, Toxtricity, and Unown

Key Points:

• Pokémon Night Out concerts in Los Angeles (October 24, 2026) and London (November 10, 2026) will offer exclusive in-game bonuses in Pokémon GO, including Location Backgrounds for Pikachu and Gengar, Timed Research featuring Toxtricity, and rare Shiny Unown encounters.
• Attendees can participate in exclusive Location Background Raids with 1-star and 3-star raid Pokémon appearing at the venues, all catchable in their Shiny forms and featuring event-specific backgrounds depending on the location.
• Timed Research tasks available at the events provide chances to encounter Low Key or Amped Form Toxtricity and earn a Pokémon Night Out baseball jersey avatar item, with the jersey also obtainable via a Twitch livestream drop for those not attending.
• Wild encounters at the concert venues will increase for certain Pokémon, including opportunities to find Shiny variants, while rare Unown letters (all available in Shiny form) will also appear exclusively at the events.
• Pokémon Night Out celebrates the franchise's 30th anniversary with concerts headlined by Marshmello and Alison Wonderland, and the in-game bonuses are exclusive to the concert venues, not part of a global Pokémon GO event.
