Feb 17,25

The Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event introduces a new free feature: the Tour Pass. Many players initially focused on the cost, but this pass is free for all! Let's explore its features and benefits.

What is the Pokémon GO Tour Pass?

Debuting with the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova global event, the Tour Pass is a system of completing tasks to earn Tour Points. These points unlock rewards, boost your rank, and enhance event bonuses. The free Tour Pass is automatically awarded when the Unova event starts (February 24th, 10 AM local time).

A paid version, Tour Pass Deluxe ($14.99 USD or equivalent), offers an instant Victini encounter, upgraded rewards, and faster progression.

Earning and Using Tour Points

Tour Points are earned via in-game activities like catching Pokémon, raiding, and hatching eggs, along with daily Pass Tasks. These points unlock rewards, increase your rank, and provide Catch XP bonuses:

  • Tier 2: 1.5x Catch XP
  • Tier 3: 2x Catch XP
  • Tier 4: 3x Catch XP

While Niantic hasn't revealed all rewards, the free pass culminates in a Zorua encounter with a special background.

The Tour Pass Deluxe's top reward is the Lucky Trinket, a one-time-use item transforming a Great Friend (or higher) into a Lucky Friend, enabling a Lucky Pokémon trade without needing Best Friend status. Note: Lucky Trinkets expire on March 9th, 2025.

Pokémon GO is available now.
