Apr 21,25

In the world of *Pokemon GO,* Niantic's latest offering, the Tour Pass, has sparked curiosity among players, especially with its surprising free entry point. But what exactly is this new feature introduced during the *Pokemon GO* Tour: Unova Global event?

What Is a Tour Pass in *Pokemon GO*?

The Tour Pass marks a fresh addition to the game, kicking off with the *Pokemon GO* Tour: Unova event. This feature revolves around the collection of Tour Points, earned by completing various in-game tasks. These points unlock a variety of rewards, elevate your rank, and enhance event bonuses throughout the GO Tour Unova event.

The standard Tour Pass comes at no cost, automatically granted to all participants when the event starts on February 24 at 10 AM local time. However, for those seeking an enriched experience, there's the Tour Pass Deluxe. Priced at $14.99 USD (or its local equivalent), this premium version offers an immediate encounter with Victini, along with upgraded rewards and accelerated progression through the Tour Pass levels.

Earning Tour Points involves engaging in familiar activities within *Pokemon GO,* such as catching Pokemon, participating in raids, and hatching eggs. Additionally, players can tackle Pass Tasks, which refresh daily during the GO Tour event, to accumulate more points.

These Tour Points serve as your ticket to a plethora of rewards, allowing you to unlock items and advance through the Tour Pass tiers. As you climb these ranks, you'll gain access to various perks, including encounters with Pokemon, candy, Poke Balls, and more. Furthermore, progressing through the tiers boosts your Catch XP bonus during the *Pokemon GO* Tour: Unova event:

  • 1.5× Catch XP upon reaching Tier 2
  • 2× Catch XP upon reaching Tier 3
  • 3× Catch XP upon reaching Tier 4

While Niantic has kept some rewards under wraps, promising more details soon, we do know that the highest tier in the free Tour Pass rewards a Zorua encounter with a special background. Conversely, the Tour Pass Deluxe culminates in the acquisition of a unique item, the Lucky Trinket.

The Lucky Trinket, exclusive to the Tour Pass Deluxe, represents the pinnacle reward for dedicated players during the GO Tour Global event. This one-time-use item has the power to transform one of your friends into a Lucky Friend, enabling you to trade and secure a Lucky Pokemon without the necessity of being Best Friends. Note, though, that you and the friend must be at least Great Friends to utilize this item.

Lucky Trinkets earned during the GO Tour: Unova event come with an expiration date of March 9, 2025, offering a limited window for their use.

*Pokemon GO is available to play now*.
