Details for the event are as follows:

Location: Queen Street Mall, Brisbane, Australia
Date: Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27, 2026
Time: 9:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. AEST

Explore Brisbane Through the GO Stamp Rally

Brisbane’s City Safari will feature a Pokémon GO Stamp Rally taking you through some of the city’s most iconic locations.

Once per day during event hours, you’ll visit specific PokéStops and spin their Photo Discs to collect special stamps and even earn encounters with Eevee wearing an explorer hat. Stamp designs will also vary depending on how long you press your stamp, making each collection unique.

Special Pokémon will also appear throughout Brisbane during the event, including Mudbray, the Donkey Pokémon, and 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. Be on the lookout, as there may even be some Shiny Pokémon out there.

Exclusive Giveaways at the City Safari Hub

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.
