As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must admit that the recent announcement by Niantic about their partnership with McDonald’s for Pokemon GO has left me both excited and somewhat skeptical. On one hand, the prospect of exclusive events and bonuses at my local McDonald’s is an appealing one – who doesn’t love a good Lure Module or Raid Battle? But on the other, I can’t help but wonder if this is just another attempt to cash in on the nostalgia of the 90s.
Niantic, the creators of Pokemon GO, have announced a new collaboration with McDonald’s in the USA, spanning across the Dual Destiny season. During specific weeks, Pokemon GO players can collect more bonuses than normal by visiting McDonald’s restaurants. This is made possible due to the unique Gyms at these locations.
From March 4, 2025, until then, “Pokemon GO: Dual Destiny” is active, with regular monthly events such as Community Day events taking place throughout the season. In 2025, players will also experience “Pokemon GO Tour: Unova,” which features fresh narratives inspired by “Pokemon Black and White” and unique in-person events in Los Angeles and New Taipei City. The Dual Destiny season also signifies a collaboration between “Pokemon GO” and McDonald’s, providing fans with additional chances to develop as Pokemon trainers.
The partnership between Pokemon GO and McDonald’s officially kicks off, starting on Monday, December 16 and running through Sunday, December 22. During this period, players of Pokemon GO can visit specially designated PokeStops or Gyms at participating McDonald’s restaurants across the US. At these designated locations in Pokemon GO, players will find Pokemon drawn by Lure Modules and have the opportunity to engage in five-star raids at the Gyms. These Lure Modules and Raid Battles will be accessible daily from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., according to local time, during each week of the collaboration.
Pokemon GO Reveals Event Dates for McDonald’s Partnership
- McDonald’s restaurants will have sponsored PokeStops and Gyms featuring Lure Modules and five-star Raid Battles each week:
- Monday, December 16, to Sunday, December 22, 2024
- Monday, January 20, to Sunday, January 26, 2025
- Monday, February 10, to Sunday, February 16, 2025
- Monday, March 10, to Sunday, March 16, 2025
The McDonald’s partnership event is scheduled for three separate weeks: from January 20-26, 2025, February 10-16, 2025, and March 10-16, 2025. During each of these weeks, Lure Modules and Raid Battles will be accessible at McDonald’s locations every week, providing gamers with four consecutive opportunities to capture Pokemon and conquer powerful Pokemon in Raid Battles throughout the event period.
In the upcoming McDonald’s Raid Battles, it’s still uncertain which Pokémon will make an appearance. However, Niantic has revealed their schedule for Pokémon GO raids during the second half of December. From now until Thursday, December 19, Mega Latios will be seen in mega raids, followed by Mega Latias from December 19 to Thursday, December 26. On Thursday, December 26, Giratina (Altered Forme) and Mega Abomasnow will appear in five-star raids and mega raids until Saturday, January 4. Additionally, Max Battles will take place in Pokémon GO throughout the month of December.
The second part of the Holiday Event in Pokemon GO starts on December 22, following the conclusion of the initial week of McDonald’s partnership. During this time, players can gain twice the XP from capturing Pokemon and receive a 50% bonus XP from participating in Raid Battles. This might mean that event bonuses could be cumulative on that particular day.
