Australian Open 2026

Pokémon GO has an in-person presence at Melbourne Park during the Australian Open, from 12 January to 1 February. Pikachu in a red party hat and water-themed Pokémon such as Marill, Wooper, Mantine and Ducklett appear in the wild, and Lure Modules can attract Unown A and O. Cheaper trades and an extra Special Trade make it a good time to trade with other visitors.

Event bonuses

• Lure Modules last 3 hours (not Golden Lure Modules)
• Lure Modules can attract Unown A and Unown O
• ½ Stardust cost for trades
• 1 extra Special Trade per day
• Catch-focused Collection Challenge rewarding XP and an encounter with Pikachu in a red party hat
