- Pokemon GO developer Niantic has partnered with McDonald's to convert select outlets in the U.S. into Pokestops and Gyms.
- These outlets will have special features, such as Lure Modules, active during dinner time, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time.
- The Pokemon Go x McDonald's collab starts from December 16, 2024, and will continue until March 2025.
Looking for a new spot to catch Pokemon? McDonald’s restaurants across the United States are becoming hotspots for Pokemon GO players this winter. Starting December 16, you can catch Pokemon and participate in raids while enjoying your favorite McDonald’s meals.
This partnership brings new PokeStops and Gyms to McDonald’s locations, making your fast-food runs more exciting.
McDonald’s restaurants in the U.S. are being transformed into Sponsored PokeStops or Gyms in Pokemon GO. This means you can now collect items, catch Pokemon, and join raids while grabbing your favorite burger. The best part? These locations will have special features active during dinner time, from 6:00 PM to 7:00 PM local time, perfect for an evening gaming session.
During this hour, you will find active Lure Modules at McDonald’s PokeStops, attracting various Pokemon to the location. If your local McDonald’s is hosting a Gym, you can participate in five-star raids with other players.
When Can You Participate in Pokemon GO x McDonald’s Collab?
The partnership runs for four different weeks over the next few months. The first week kicks off on December 16, 2024, giving you a chance to try it out during the holiday season. If you miss this window, don’t worry as you’ll have three more opportunities to participate. Here are all the Pokemon GO Mcdonald’s collab dates:
- December 16-22, 2024
- January 20-26, 2025
- February 10-16, 2025
- March 10-16, 2025
Each day during these weeks, the special features will be active during the dinner rush hour (6:00 PM to 7:00 PM). This timing is particularly convenient because you can plan your McDonald’s visit around when you’d normally eat dinner, making it a practical addition to your daily routine.
Remember to check the Pokemon Go December 2024 raid schedule before heading out. This way, you’ll know which Pokemon to expect in five-star raids at McDonald’s Gyms.
