Pokemon GO Unveils Tour Pass for Unova Event

Summary

• A new Tour Pass for Pokemon GO's Unova event will be available from February 24 to March 9, offering rewards and milestones.
• Players can level up the Tour Pass by earning Tour Points through tasks like catching Pokemon and completing raids.
• A free and deluxe version of the Tour Pass will be available.

Pokemon GO has announced an exciting new Tour Pass for the upcoming Unova-themed GO Tour event, available starting February 24. This pass enhances the Pokemon GO Tour, an annual celebration centered around Pokemon Day, spotlighting a specific region. This year, the event focuses on the Unova region, introducing Gen 5-themed wild encounters, raids, and egg spawns.

Previous GO Tour events have been a hit among players. The inaugural event in 2021 celebrated Kanto, introducing nine new shiny Pokemon, including Mew and Ditto. Last year's event highlighted Sinnoh, featuring Pikachu variants with unique accessories and the debut of Dialga and Palkia in their Origin Formes.

In preparation for Pokemon GO Tour 2025, Niantic is rolling out the new Tour Pass from February 24 at 10 am until March 2 at 6 pm local time. Every player will receive a free pass, which can be upgraded by earning Tour Points through daily tasks, catching Pokemon, completing raids, and hatching eggs. As players progress, they'll reach Minor and Major milestones, earning rewards like candy and stickers. The ultimate milestone rewards players with an encounter with a Zorua featuring a special background. Remember, all rewards must be claimed by March 9 at 6 pm, as they will expire afterward.

Pokemon GO Announces New Pass in Anticipation of Unova's GO Tour

While the standard Tour Pass is free, a deluxe version can be purchased for $14.99 on the Pokemon GO Webstore from February 24 at 10 am until March 2 at 6 pm. This deluxe pass includes all rewards from both the free and paid tracks, a special encounter with the Mythical Pokemon Victini, and the new Lucky Trinket item. The Lucky Trinket is a single-use item that turns a friend into a Lucky Friend, ensuring the next trade results in a Lucky Pokemon and resetting the Lucky Friend status afterward. A deluxe pass variant with 10 unlocked ranks will be available for $19.99. Both the deluxe pass rewards and the Lucky Trinket are valid until March 9 at 6 pm.

The Tour Pass for Unova's GO Tour is designed to heighten the excitement for the event. Players can look forward to the debut of Kyurem Black and White via fusion, reminiscent of Necrozma's appearance at last year's GO Tour. Additionally, the event will introduce the shiny form of Meloetta, accessible through a ticketed Masterwork Research.
