► Business Email: thetrainerclub@viralcollab.com Pokémon GO Fest Chicago 2026 delivered one of the best event experiences we've seen in years—but it wasn't perfect.
The event grounds were fantastic, the layout was easy to navigate, the raid experience was strong, and the overall atmosphere was incredible. However, shiny hunting felt more challenging than expected, shiny background Pokémon were surprisingly difficult to obtain, and some of the event spawns were harder to find than many trainers anticipated.
In this video, I break down my full GO Fest Chicago experience, including:
Shiny rates and shiny hunting results:
Shiny background Pokémon availability
Event spawn quality
The best habitats and play areas
Raid experiences including Mewtwo and Shadow Raids
What Niantic got right
What could be improved
If you're attending GO Fest later this year or want to know whether Chicago GO Fest was worth it, this video covers everything you need to know.
