Announced Wednesday, the celebration will first have two in-person events in late February, followed by a global one in which all players can participate. Special shiny Pok\u00e9mon, Mega Pok\u00e9mon, and more will be a part of the event.<\/p>\n<p>Largely inspired by France, Kalos first appeared in Pok\u00e9mon X and Y, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-legends-za-lumiose-city-secret-npc-dialogue-sinister\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">region&#8217;s capital Lumiose City<\/a> is also the backdrop for Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A. With the aforementioned game&#8217;s release this past October, Kalos has returned to the forefront, and the upcoming Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour will celebrate the region&#8217;s resurgence. This will mark the fifth year for Go Tours, which have previously taken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.polygon.com\/pokemon-go-guide\/528423\/road-to-unova-timed-research-premium-free-worth-it\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">players to locales like Unova<\/a> and Sinnoh.<\/p>\n<p>        <img width=\"1650\" height=\"928\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"GO Tour promo image showing many gyms with Mega Pokemon\" data-img-url=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/go-tour-mega-night.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/go-tour-mega-night.jpg\" class=\"img-brightness-opt-out\"\/><br \/>\n        Image: Niantic\/The Pok\u00e9mon Company<\/p>\n<p>The two in-person events will take place in Los Angeles and Tainan, Taiwan Feb. 20-22, 2026.
