Pokémon GO City Safari à Marseille : le grand rallye urbain de l'automne

Pokémon GO is taking over Marseille on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, 2026, for its flagship City Safari event. From 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., the Phocean city becomes the setting for an official urban rally inviting Trainers to explore its landmarks and iconic neighborhoods, smartphone in hand. Marseille is the first French city to host this global-scale format. The Pokémon GO City Safari comes to Marseille for a weekend of gaming and discovery On the weekend of September 26 and 27, 2026, Marseille joins a very select group of global cities chosen to host the City Safari. Alongside Boston, Brisbane, Lisbon, Munich and Rio de Janeiro, the Phocean city will experience its own event simultaneously, symbolically connecting Trainer communities spread across several continents. This is the first time a French city has received this privilege. The City Safari concept differs from typical Pokémon GO gatherings: this is a free-form rally throughout the city, with no prescribed route. Participants explore Marseille at their own pace, guided by the Campfire app and a dedicated map highlighting mapped points of interest. This format is designed both for residents and for visitors coming especially for the occasion from across Europe. For those wishing to discover other immersive and interactive experiences in Marseille, the city offers no shortage of events to explore. In Provence-Alpes-Côte-d’Azur, this type of large-scale digital event remains rare, and Marseille’s selection reflects the city’s growing international profile. The exceptional setting of the Phocean city at the end of summer, combining historic heritage and neighborhood treasures, provides an especially fitting backdrop for this kind of urban adventure and playful experience. The GO Stamp Rally and exclusive Pokémon One of the major new features of this Marseille edition is the introduction of the City Safari Stamp Rally. Activated upon entering the play area, this stamp trail invites Trainers to visit specific PokéStops marked in the Campfire app. By spinning the Photo Discs at selected landmarks, players can collect up to 8 stamps, each unlocking an exclusive encounter with an Eevee wearing an explorer hat, available in its Shiny form for the luckiest players. The event will also feature appearances by themed Pokémon in the wild throughout the city. Among them is one particularly anticipated creature: Mudbray, the Donkey Pokémon, whose presence is extremely rare and exclusively reserved for the 2026 City Safari events. A unique opportunity for collectors to complete their Pokédex with this Pokémon, which cannot be encountered outside these official events. In addition to the new gameplay mechanics, ticket holders will enjoy numerous extra benefits throughout the two days: An increased chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon Lure Modules lasting 4 hours (excluding Golden Lure Modules) Up to 5 Special Trades per day within the city, with a 50% reduction in Stardust cost An exclusive in-game souvenir discovered by your Buddy Pokémon: the little City Safari compass Pokémon GO City Safari Marseille prices The event takes place throughout the city of Marseille, with points of interest accessible via the Campfire app. The daily ticket is available for €10.00, directly in the Pokémon GO app under the “Events” tab.
