Pokemon GO Tour Pass: New Free Progression Feature Unveiled

In the dynamic world of *Pokemon GO,* Niantic's latest offering, the Tour Pass, has caught the attention of trainers everywhere. Unlike the usual ticketed events, the Tour Pass comes as a refreshing free feature, debuting with the *Pokemon GO* Tour: Unova Global event. But what exactly does this new feature entail?

What Is a Tour Pass in *Pokemon GO*?

The Tour Pass is an innovative addition to *Pokemon GO,* designed to enhance your experience during the *Pokemon GO* Tour: Unova event. Starting February 24 at 10 AM local time, every player will automatically receive a free Tour Pass. This pass isn't just a ticket to the event; it's your key to a series of tasks that, when completed, reward you with Tour Points. These points are crucial for unlocking various rewards, climbing the ranks, and boosting event bonuses throughout GO Tour Unova.

For those looking for an extra edge, there's also a paid option called the Tour Pass Deluxe, priced at $14.99 USD or its local equivalent. This deluxe version offers immediate access to an encounter with Victini, along with enhanced rewards and accelerated progression through the Tour Pass levels.

How Do You Earn Tour Points & What Do They Do?

These Tour Points unlock a variety of rewards as you ascend through the Tour Pass tiers. You'll receive items, increase your rank, and even unlock special Pokemon encounters, including candy, Poke Balls, and more. Advancing through the ranks also enhances your Catch XP bonus during the event, with tiers offering:

• 1.5× Catch XP at Tier 2
• 2× Catch XP at Tier 3
• 3× Catch XP at Tier 4

While Niantic keeps some details under wraps with a "stay tuned for more" message, we do know the pinnacle of the free Tour Pass rewards is an encounter with Zorua, featuring a unique background. In contrast, the Tour Pass Deluxe culminates in a new item, the Lucky Trinket.

What Is a Lucky Trinket?

Keep in mind, Lucky Trinkets obtained during GO Tour: Unova will expire on March 9, 2025, making them a limited-time feature.

With the introduction of the Tour Pass and its Deluxe counterpart, *Pokemon GO* continues to evolve, offering both free and premium options to enrich your gameplay. Dive into the *Pokemon GO* Tour: Unova event and explore all that the Tour Pass has to offer!
