Download Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO is a location-based game where you explore the real world to find and catch Pokémon. You can visit PokéStops for items, battle at Gyms, take part in raids and limited-time events, and collect Pokémon in your Pokédex. The game combines walking and outdoor exploration with familiar Pokémon characters, though some activities may also be available from a distance.

You can download and play Pokémon GO for free, and many core activities do not require payment. The game also offers optional in-app purchases, such as PokéCoins and event tickets, which can be used for items or access to certain experiences. Check the store listing and in-game purchase details before buying, and use device-level purchase controls if you want to prevent accidental spending.

Pokémon GO uses your device’s location to place Pokémon and points of interest on its map, so location services are important. An internet connection is generally needed to access game features, and walking helps you explore and hatch eggs. Availability and activities can vary by location. For safety, pay attention to your surroundings, follow local rules, and never play while driving.

Pokémon GO may appeal to children, but parents or guardians should review its age guidance, account options, social features, and privacy settings before play. The game encourages movement in public spaces, so children should be accompanied or given clear safety rules. Avoid sharing personal information, be cautious around unfamiliar people, and check permissions and location access in the device settings.

You can connect with other players through features such as trading, friend interactions, raids, and group events, although some options have requirements or may depend on availability. Compatibility is not guaranteed for every device: supported operating systems, hardware, and features can change over time. Before downloading, check the current Google Play or App Store listing for your phone’s requirements and regional availability.
