Pokémon GO Fest 2026 Global: Using ‘Time’s Direction’ to Reduce In‑Game Costs

The Pokémon GO Fest 2026 Global will run on July 11‑12, with each day offering a 9‑hour marathon of gameplay. A new field effect from the Origin‑Form Diagla, called “Time’s Direction,” pauses the timers on Incense, Star Piece, Lucky Egg and related items, effectively extending their usefulness.

Activating the effect costs 5,000 Star Dust and 5 Diagla Candy for a six‑minute duration, and players can refresh it repeatedly to stretch the benefit up to 24 hours. This allows free‑to‑play or light‑paying trainers to keep Incense running continuously, collect Star Dust faster, and extend XP‑boost periods. The skill can be learned during a limited window from July 6‑12 via the Super Move Machine Special, a special measure for the game’s 10‑year anniversary.
