Pokémon GO and ESA Launch World Space Week Museum Events
The Pokémon Company and the European Space Agency have initiated the primary phase of their World Space Week partnership, featuring Pokémon GO gameplay events at select European museums from October 4 to October 10. Participants spinning PokéStops during Field Research tasks receive themed rewards, while Wild Encounters boost spawn rates for specific creatures near partner sites.
A separate Raids event runs from October 4, 2026, through April 30, 2027, offering chances to catch Astronaut Pikachu. This follows the plush toy's recent 67-day stay on the International Space Station with French astronaut Sophie Adenot.
