Summary
- Pokemon GO and MLB partnership brings club-themed PokeStops, Gyms, and exclusive in-game items to ballparks.

Pokemon GO and Major League Baseball are teaming up for fans of both with a new partnership. Through 2025, attendees of MLB games will be able to get special goodies and participate in unique Timed Research within Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO has had its fair share of partnerships over the years, with many of them leading to PokeStops or Gyms being opened at retail locations, like GameStop or Starbucks. Since Pokemon GO players go outside and walk to play the game, it makes sense to encourage them to visit certain locations to find new Pokemon or gain new items.
