Kids can hunt for hidden Poké Balls, get Pokémon face painting and enter a raffle at Shiny Hunters of Noblesville’s outdoor gathering for Pokémon GO Wild Area 2026. Families don’t need to play Pokémon GO to participate. Admission is free, with no tickets or sign-up required, and each day stands alone so families can attend either or both. What to Expect Daily survival kits: The first 100 trainers to check in each day receive a free kit with an exclusive event patch, a code card for four in-game items, two extra raffle tickets and more. Poké Ball hunt: Five physical Poké Balls are hidden in the park each day. Return a find to the Check-In Station to claim the prize: $50 in PokéCoins for the Ultra Ball, $25 for the Great Ball or $10 each for three standard Poké Balls. Every finder also receives an official GO WILD 2026 enamel pin. The hunt is free. Face painting and headbands: Choose from eight exclusive Pokémon face-painting designs, with free Pikachu, Eevee and Mewtwo headbands available for everyone. Raffle: Choose which of 15 prizes to put tickets toward. Every prize includes the official GO WILD 2026 enamel pin. Earn tickets by checking in, getting face painting, receiving a kit, wearing Pokémon gear or joining a raid train. Children too young to check in still receive two tickets. Pokémon GO play: Raid trains run throughout the day. Food trucks: Blue Smoke BBQ and Fenny’s Hot Dogs attend both days. Café Huesca’s mobile coffee cart joins on Sunday only. Raffle drawings take place at 5:30 p.m. each day, and winners must be present. Phone charging stations are available at both shelters. Upcoming Dates: November 14, November 15.
