Overview
Pokémon GO is a free-to-play location-based mobile game for Android and iOS. It was originally developed by Niantic in partnership with The Pokémon Company; in 2025 Niantic’s games business, including Pokémon GO, was acquired by Scopely, and the development team now operates as Scopely Explore.
The game uses your phone’s GPS to place Pokémon in the real world. As you walk around, Pokémon appear on the map, and you catch them by throwing Poké Balls. PokéStops at real-world landmarks give items, and Gyms are places to battle and take part in raids with other players against powerful Pokémon. Trainers can trade with friends, battle in the GO Battle League, hatch eggs by walking and join live community events around the world.
Pokémon GO is free to play, with optional in-app purchases of PokéCoins for items and event tickets. Always stay aware of your surroundings while playing, never play while driving, and parents should review location and purchase settings. Download it only from official app stores.
