Habitat hours are a staple of any in-person Pokémon Go event and Go Fest 2024 is no different.

Day One - Saturday 13th July - of Go Fest 2024: Global will cycle through four habitat hours entitled Dawn Meadow, Shining Day, Creeping Dark and Darkest Night. Throughout these hours you'll see a selection of Pokémon appearing more frequently in the wilds of Pokémon Go.

Go Fest 2024: Global ticket holders will also find that using Incense during the habitat hours will attract a second pool of creatures, which includes Unown and regionally exclusive Pokémon. Ticketed players can also complete Collection Challenges themed around the habitat hours.

So take a look below to find the rotating habitat schedule for Go Fest 2024, along with every Pokémon appearing in each habitat, and a quick look at the event's raid schedule.

Habitat schedule times for Pokémon Go Fest 2024

The first day of Go Fest 2024: Global - running between 10am to 6pm (local time) on Saturday 13th July - is divided into four habitat hours: Dawn Meadow, Shining Day, Creeping Dark and Darkest Night.

Due to every habitat hour occurring twice during this day, each one is available for a total of two hours. Within these hours you'll see a selection of Pokémon tied to the habitat's theme appearing more frequently in the wild. If you have a Go Fest 2024: Global ticket, you'll also be able to attract a second Pokémon pool by using Incense.

The habitats change every hour on the hour and follow the local time for your region. Thanks to this, you'll be following the schedule below no matter where you live:

  • 10am to 11am - Dawn Meadow
  • 11am to 12pm - Shining Day
  • 12pm to 1pm - Creeping Dusk
  • 1pm to 2pm - Darkest Night
  • 2pm to 3pm - Dawn Meadow
  • 3pm to 4pm - Shining Day
  • 4pm to 5pm - Creeping Dusk
  • 5pm to 6pm - Darkest Night

On Day Two - Sunday 14th July - all of these Pokémon listed below will be appearing more frequently in the wild, but, if you're after a specific Pokémon, it's best to search for it during the habitat hour. This is because you'll be dealing with a smaller pool of Pokémon and this, in turn, will make it easier to find the one you're looking for.

Raid schedule for Pokémon Go Fest 2024

It's a good idea to know the Go Fest 2024: Global raid schedule alongside the rotating habit hour schedule in Pokémon Go since it will change depending on which day you're playing on. Though we highly recommend partaking on both days of Go Fest 2024 as different activities are available on Sunday compared to Saturday and you don't want to miss out.

Here is the Go Fest 2024 raid schedule for Saturday 13th July:
