Discover What You Need to Know: Pokémon GO Tour Pass Unveiled

The Pokémon GO Tour Pass: A Free and Paid Option Explained

Niantic's latest Pokémon GO offering, the Tour Pass, has players asking, "How much does it cost?" The good news? A free version is available! But what exactly does the Tour Pass entail?

Understanding the Pokémon GO Tour Pass

Introduced with the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova global event, the Tour Pass is a system of tasks and rewards. Complete tasks to earn Tour Points, which unlock rewards, boost your rank, and enhance event bonuses during the Unova event.

The free Tour Pass is automatically granted to players starting February 24th at 10 AM local time. A premium version, the Tour Pass Deluxe ($14.99 USD or equivalent), offers an immediate Victini encounter, improved rewards, and faster progression.

Earning and Utilizing Tour Points

Accumulated Tour Points unlock rewards, increase your rank within the Tour Pass tiers, and boost Catch XP bonuses during the event. Tier progression unlocks Pokémon encounters, Candy, Poké Balls, and more. The Catch XP bonus increases as follows:

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

While Niantic remains tight-lipped on all rewards, the free Tour Pass culminates in a Zorua encounter with a unique background. The Deluxe Pass offers a different final reward: the Lucky Trinket.
