Pokemon GO enthusiasts, get ready for an exciting addition to the upcoming Unova-themed GO Tour! Niantic has just announced the launch of a new Tour Pass, set to be available from February 24 to March 9. This pass is designed to enhance your experience during the Pokemon GO Tour 2025, which celebrates the vibrant world of Unova and introduces Gen 5-themed wild encounters, raids, and egg spawns.
The Pokemon GO Tour is an eagerly anticipated annual event that coincides with Pokemon Day, focusing on a different region each year. The inaugural event in 2021 spotlighted Kanto, introducing nine new shiny Pokemon, including fan favorites Mew and Ditto. Last year's tour celebrated Sinnoh, featuring Pikachu variants with unique accessories and the debut of Dialga and Palkia in their Origin Formes.
For the 2025 Unova Tour, Niantic is rolling out a Tour Pass that will be accessible to all players starting February 24 at 10 am until March 2 at 6 pm local time. The pass comes in two versions: a free version and a deluxe version. The free Tour Pass allows players to earn Tour Points by engaging in daily tasks, catching Pokemon, completing raids, and hatching eggs. As you accumulate these points, you'll reach Minor and Major milestones, unlocking rewards such as candy and stickers. The ultimate reward for reaching the final milestone is 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 after this date.
For those looking to elevate their experience, the deluxe Tour Pass is available for $14.99 on the Pokemon GO Webstore during the same period. This version not only includes all the rewards from the free pass but also offers an encounter with the Mythical Pokemon Victini and the new Lucky Trinket item. This single-use item can transform 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. A premium variant of the deluxe pass, which includes 10 unlocked ranks, is available for $19.99. Both the deluxe pass rewards and the Lucky Trinket are valid until March 9 at 6 pm.
The introduction of the Tour Pass for the Unova GO Tour is set to heighten the excitement for what promises to be an unforgettable event. Highlights include the debut of Kyurem Black and White through fusion, reminiscent of last year's Necrozma debut, and the introduction of shiny Meloetta via ticketed Masterwork Research. Get ready to dive into the world of Unova and make the most of your Pokemon GO Tour experience with these new passes!
