Pokemon GO enthusiasts, get ready for a thrilling addition to the game with the announcement of a new Tour Pass for the upcoming Unova event! This exciting feature will be available starting February 24 and will run until March 9, offering a range of rewards and milestones for all players to enjoy. The Tour Pass is designed to enhance your experience during the Pokemon GO Tour, a celebrated annual event that this year focuses on the Unova region, bringing Gen 5-themed wild encounters, raids, and egg spawns to your mobile screens.

The Pokemon GO Tour has become a staple event celebrated around Pokemon Day, spotlighting different regions each year. The inaugural event in 2021 kicked off with a focus on Kanto, introducing nine new shiny Pokemon, including fan favorites Mew and Ditto. Last year's event celebrated Sinnoh, featuring Pikachu with unique accessories and the debut of Dialga and Palkia in their Origin Formes.

In anticipation of Pokemon GO Tour 2025, Niantic is rolling out the new Tour Pass on February 24 at 10 am, available until March 2 at 6 pm local time. Every player will receive a free version of the pass, and by engaging in various in-game activities such as catching Pokemon, completing raids, and hatching eggs, you can earn Tour Points to level up your pass. As you progress, you'll unlock Minor and Major milestones, earning rewards like candy and stickers along the way. The ultimate prize awaits at the final milestone—an encounter with a Zorua featuring a special background. Keep in mind, all rewards must be claimed before they expire on March 9 at 6 pm.

While the standard Tour Pass is free, a deluxe version will be up for grabs at $14.99 through the Pokemon GO Webstore from February 24 at 10 am until March 2 at 6 pm. This premium version not only includes all the rewards from both the free and paid tracks but also offers an exclusive encounter with the Mythical Pokemon Victini and introduces the new Lucky Trinket item. This single-use item can turn a friend from your list into a Lucky Friend, ensuring your next trade results in a Lucky Pokemon and resetting the Lucky Friend status afterward. For those looking for an even more enhanced experience, a deluxe pass variant with 10 unlocked ranks will be available for $19.99. All rewards and the Lucky Trinket associated with the deluxe pass will also be available until March 9 at 6 pm.

The introduction of the Tour Pass for Unova's GO Tour is set to heighten the excitement for this much-anticipated event.
