Pokémon Go’s Road to Unova event is the perfect way to prepare for this year’s tour

The excitement is palpable as we approach the much-anticipated Pokémon Go Tour: Unova, a global event set to take place on March 1st and 2nd. This event promises a wealth of content centered around the Unova region. But before the main festivities kick off, you can get a head start with the Road to Unova event, running from February 24th to March 1st.

This precursor event follows a familiar format seen in previous Pokémon Go tours, offering players a chance to dive into the action early. During Road to Unova, you'll have ample time to tackle challenges and amass rewards, catering to all types of players, whether you're exploring the wilds or engaging in raids and other challenges.

As part of the lead-up, every player will receive a free Tour Pass. This pass lets you progress through tasks, accumulate Tour Points, and unlock various bonuses. For those looking to enhance their experience, the Tour Pass Deluxe is available, offering upgraded rewards including an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini.

Shiny Pokémon enthusiasts have something special to look forward to, as Shiny Meloetta will debut in Pokémon Go through a Masterwork Research ticket priced at $4.99. This research can be completed at your own pace, as it does not expire. Additionally, other ticket options are available, offering event-exclusive bonuses like hatch-themed or raid-themed rewards, along with exclusive avatar items.

Each five-star raid presents an opportunity to catch Pokémon with Special Backgrounds inspired by the Pokémon Black and White versions.
