Brisbane hosts Pokemon GO City Safari in September
Forget Ekans, it’s the big brown snake Pokemon GO players will be enjoying this September as they make their way around Queen Street Mall and the iconic Brisbane riverside! Taking place across September 26th and 27th, the Pokemon GO City Safari will dazzle players in the glittering metropolis that is BrisVegas, Australia’s fourth most liveable city.
Running from 9AM to 6PM each day, things kick off at Queen Street Mall with tickets available online at a reasonable $17AU. A second day ticket comes in at $12AU, meaning the entire weekend can be had for just $29AU, with a few extras also available.
Here’s a rundown of the what participants can expect, whilst the official website is also a great place to get more details:
Explore Brisbane Through the GO Stamp Rally
Brisbane’s City Safari will feature a Pokémon GO Stamp Rally across some of the city’s most iconic locations.
Visit participating PokéStops and spin their Photo Discs to collect stamps and earn encounters with Eevee wearing an explorer hat. Stamp designs vary depending on how long you “press” the stamp, making each collection unique.
The Stamp Rally can be completed once per day during event hours.
Special Pokémon Encounters
Special Pokémon will appear throughout Brisbane during the event, including Mudbray, the Donkey Pokémon, which will be featured as part of the global Pokémon GO City Safari 2026 events.
Ticket-holding Trainers will also be able to participate in event-exclusive Special Research, helping Professor Willow investigate Pokémon appearing throughout the city while earning encounters with Eevee wearing an explorer hat and its evolutions.
If you’re lucky, you may even encounter a Shiny Pokémon during your adventure.
Visit the City Safari Hub for Exclusive Giveaways
Trainers can stop by the official City Safari hub on Queen Street Mall to collect exclusive event giveaways, including Pokémon GO City Safari Pikachu Visors and an Exclusive Pokémon GO City Safari sticker pack, while stocks last.
The City Safari hub will also be a great meeting place for Trainers to connect with fellow Pokémon GO fans throughout the weekend.
