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.
