Pokémon GO Unveils New Tour Pass for Upcoming Unova Event

Get ready, Pokémon GO trainers! A new Tour Pass is launching alongside the highly anticipated Unova event, running from February 24th to March 9th. This pass offers exciting rewards and progression milestones for all players.

This year's Pokémon GO Tour focuses on the Unova region (Generation 5), delivering a wave of Gen 5 Pokémon encounters in the wild, raids, and egg hatches. Following the successful Kanto (2021) and Sinnoh (2022) Tours, this event continues the annual Pokémon Day tradition of celebrating a specific region.

The new Tour Pass, available from February 24th, 10 am to March 2nd, 6 pm local time, offers both free and deluxe options. Earn Tour Points by completing daily tasks, catching Pokémon, participating in raids, and hatching eggs to level up your pass. Progress unlocks Minor and Major milestones, rewarding players with items like Candy and Stickers. Reaching the final milestone grants an encounter with a special Zorua. Remember, all rewards expire on March 9th at 6 pm.

Deluxe Pass Perks:

For $14.99 (or $19.99 for a version with 10 unlocked ranks), the Deluxe Pass, available on the Pokémon GO webstore during the same timeframe, provides all free and paid track rewards, plus an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini, and a brand-new Lucky Trinket. This unique item guarantees a Lucky Trade with a chosen friend, resetting the Lucky Friend status afterward. Deluxe Pass rewards, including the Lucky Trinket, also expire on March 9th at 6 pm.

The Unova Tour promises an unforgettable experience, featuring the debut of Kyurem (Black and White forms) via fusion, mirroring last year's Necrozma introduction. Shiny Meloetta will also make its debut through a ticketed Masterwork Research. The Tour Pass adds another layer of excitement to this must-attend event.
