Pokémon Go Fest Madrid saw as many as 190,000 players come together from all around the world this past weekend for the game’s biggest event of the year.
After Sendai (May 30 to June 2), Pokémon Go Fest made its second stop in Madrid, Spain (June 14 to 16) to celebrate the debuts of rare Pokémon like Necrozma, Dusk Mane Necrozma, Dawn Wings Necrozma, and Marshadow, along with other cool perks. The three-day event drew in 190,000 players, with 70 percent of ticket holders coming from outside the country. For comparison, last year’s Go Fest had around 194,000 attendees in total between the events held in New York, London, and Osaka, according to Niantic. In other words, Madrid was just short of matching those three cities combined.
