Niantic's latest Pokemon GO offering, the Tour Pass, has sparked curiosity among players, primarily regarding its cost. Surprisingly, a free version is available, but what exactly does it entail?
Introduced with the Pokemon GO Tour: Unova global event, the Tour Pass features tasks rewarding Tour Points. These points unlock rewards, boost rank, and enhance event bonuses during the Unova event.
The standard Tour Pass is free and automatically granted upon event commencement (February 24th, 10 AM local time). However, a premium option, the Tour Pass Deluxe ($14.99 USD or equivalent), offers an immediate Victini encounter, superior rewards, and accelerated progression.
Tour Points are earned through familiar in-game activities: catching Pokémon, participating in raids, and hatching eggs. Daily refreshed Pass Tasks provide additional points. Accumulated points unlock rewards, increase rank within the Tour Pass tiers, and boost Catch XP bonuses.
Tiered Catch XP Bonuses:
While Niantic remains tight-lipped about all rewards, the free Tour Pass culminates in a Zorua encounter with a unique background. The Deluxe Pass offers a different final prize: the Lucky Trinket.
Exclusive to the Tour Pass Deluxe, the Lucky Trinket is a single-use item transforming a friend into a Lucky Friend. This allows for Lucky Pokémon trades without requiring Best Friend status (Great Friends are required to use the item). Note: Lucky Trinkets obtained during GO Tour: Unova expire on March 9, 2025.
Pokemon GO is currently available for play.
