Crowds of Pokemon fanatics will flood Brockwell Park this weekend to “catch ‘em all” at the Pokémon GO Fest.
Pokémon GO is a mobile game that creates an augmented reality where players catch Pokémon characters in real-world locations.
Using their smartphone cameras, players will push through bushes and traipse through the grass in search of their favourite monsters from Friday, August 4, to Sunday, August 6.
Visitors can expect exclusive gameplay, special bonuses, and more as they explore alongside thousands of fellow trainers.
They’ll also get the chance to catch the new mega-evolved Diancie – a rock-fairy character with moves including stealth rock and moonblast.
Every ticket will also allow access to the evening’s city experience in Greater London where the streets come alive with characters.
It’s the first time London has hosted the event, which took place in Berlin last year and brought an estimated £58 million to the city, according to the Pokémon team.
