Activities

The following activities and amenities were available at the Pokémon Mega Evolution Paris event:[1]

  • Lumiose City Tourism Hub: An immersive space where visitors can learn about Mega Evolution and Lumiose City, the Pokémon equivalent of Paris. Attendees were able to receive collectable postcards.
  • Playable demos for Pokémon Legends: Z-A Switch 2 Edition. There were two demos, one where the player participates in Z-A Royale matches and another where the player fights a Rogue Mega-Evolved Pokémon. The demo experience is the same one offered at the 2025 Pokémon World Championships in Anaheim, California, and at gamescom 2025 in Cologne, Germany.
  • Pokémon GO Stamp Rally: For the first time outside of Japan, a Stamp Rally event is held in Paris, France from September 13, 9:00 AM CEST to September 14, 10:00 PM CEST. Attendees of the event can collect digital stamps in Pokémon GO by exploring seven iconic Paris locations, as follows:[2]

    • Place du Louvre
    • Place Colette
    • Carrousel du Louvre

Once a player has collected all seven digital stamps, they take a screenshot of the completed stamp card and an AR photo of their Pokémon at one of the seven locations, and post it on social medias (Instagram, X/Twitter, or TikTok) with the hashtag #PokemonGOParis. A lucky draw was held for a chance to win a trip of four to Japan.[2]
