How do virtual team lounges work in Pokémon Go Fest 2020?

Pokémon Go Team Lounges were a way for members of the same team to meet in physical locations, relax, and unwind during a Pokémon Go Fest. Because Pokémon Go Fest 2020 will be a virtual experience, there will be no physical locations for this gathering. Instead, Niantic creates virtual team lounges for players to meet their teammates through a website.

These websites will be a way for trainers to take a one-day break from catching Pokémon during the event to interact with teammates. Freebies will also be available on these websites, and live updates will take place on the website, so players don't miss out on any time-limited events actively taking place in Pokémon Go. The websites will also highlight particular trainers during the event, and Pokémon Go developers can even stop by to chat with available players and community members.

We do not know what kind of gifts and giveaways will take place. Trainers will likely have the option of logging into these pages using their Pokémon Go account to authenticate and ensure they join the correct lounge for their team. At this time, we don't know the exact website you need to visit to join other members of your Pokémon Go team for the event. It can be linked to the official Pokémon Go Fest 2020 webpage, though.

More details will come closer to the release of Pokémon Go Fest 2020, which will take place July 25-26, 10:00 a.m. to 20:00 p.m. local time, accessible to everyone around the world who purchases a Pokémon Go Fest Ticket. You can purchase the Pokémon Go Fest Ticket 2020 from the in-game store starting June 15 for $ 14,99. It will have unlimited capacity and will work for both days.
