Pokémon GO has started distributing Pokémon GO Fest 2026 in-game medals to players ahead of this year’s live events. Some trainers have reported that the medals do not appear immediately after delivery, but restarting the app usually refreshes the account and makes the medal visible. These event medals are commonly tied to ticket verification and participation perks for GO Fest activities, making them an important part of the overall event rollout. With Pokémon GO Fest 2026 getting closer, players are continuing to receive more event-related updates, bonuses and scheduling details through the game and email notifications.
