Pokémon GO Tour Pass Rewards Points Ranks Milestones and How to Earn Them

Unlock the full potential of your Pokémon GO Tour experience with the all-new GO Tour Pass-a dynamic progression system where every catch, raid, and task brings you closer to exclusive rewards like rare Pokémon encounters, Stardust, and the coveted Lucky Trinket. Whether you choose the free pass or upgrade to the Deluxe version for faster progression and premium bonuses, mastering how Tour Points work is your key to ranking up and claiming epic prizes during the event.

Below we explain how the Go Tour Pass works, if it’s worth upgrading to deluxe, and all the rewards you can get for completing the pass.

How does the Tour Pass work?

The Pokémon Go Tour Pass works like a battle pass system available during the Go Tour: Unova event, allowing players to earn Tour Points through in-game activities such as catching Pokémon (5 points each), hatching eggs (10 points each), and catching Legendary Pokémon (50 points each). Additionally, players can complete daily Pass Tasks to earn extra points, with free players receiving one task daily and Deluxe Pass holders receiving two. There is a daily cap of 150 points from regular activities plus additional points from Pass Tasks. Accumulating Tour Points lets players rank up through Minor and Major Milestones, unlocking rewards like Pokémon encounters, items, and bonuses. The Tour Pass is free, but upgrading to the Deluxe version offers faster progression and better rewards, including exclusive items and encounters. Points and rewards can be earned until March 2, 2025, with rewards claimable until March 9, 2025.

Functionally, this is kind of just a battle pass that many other games have. Every player gets the pass starting at Feb. 24 at 10 a.m. in your local time. You will have until March 2 at 6 p.m. in your local time to complete as much of the pass as possible.

You can earn Tour Pass points in two ways:

• By catching Pokémon (5 points each), hatching eggs (10 points each), and catching Legendary Pokémon (50 points each)
• Complete Pass Tasks (50 points per task, one per day for all users and two per day for Deluxe players)

Note that there is a cap to how many points you can earn per day. You can only earn 150 points per day using the above methods, in addition to 50 or 100 more points from completing the daily Pass Tasks that appear below the pass, depending if you have Deluxe or not.

This means that you can only earn four to six ranks per day until the Go Tour: Unova event. The cap will be completely removed during the weekend event on March 1 and 2, allowing you to farm as many points as you’d like.

So is the Tour Pass worth upgrading to deluxe?

The Tour Pass Deluxe in Pokémon GO offers a significant upgrade over the free Tour Pass, making it worth considering for many players. For $14.99, the Deluxe version provides an immediate encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini, additional encounters with event-themed Pokémon, and a variety of valuable rewards including extra Poké Balls, Premium Items like Lucky Eggs and Star Pieces, and XL Candy for featured Legendaries. It also grants the exclusive Lucky Trinket, which can instantly make you Lucky Friends with other trainers, a highly beneficial feature. The Deluxe pass accelerates progression with extra daily Pass Tasks and offers cosmetic items like the Kyurem Helmet. While the cost is relatively high compared to typical in-game purchases, the added rewards and faster rank progression can justify the expense, especially for dedicated players aiming to maximize their event experience and collect rare Pokémon and items.

Maybe, but it depends on your playstyle and how you value items like fusion energy and XL candy.

The deluxe version of the Tour Pass does give a whole ton of stuff, including the following, in exchange for $15:

• Victini encounter
• Additional Poké Balls, Great Balls, Ultra Balls, Lure Modules, Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces
• The new Lucky Trinket item
• Encounters with additional Pokémon like Servine, Pignite, Dewott, Sandile, Mienfoo, Pawniard, Vullaby, and Basculin
• Up to 200 additional Blaze Fusion Energy and Volt Fusion Energy
• XL candy for Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, Tornadus, Thundurus, and Landorus
• The “Kyurem Helmet” cosmetic item

$15 worth of PokéCoins is about 1,900 coins (give or take a few, since there’s no actual $15 coin bundle) if you buy them from the web store. If you total up the cost of the non-ball items you get from the pass, it’s at around 1,240 coins worth of upgrades – though this doesn’t include the Lucky Trinket, which is a new item and not purchasable in the store, and the cosmetic hat.

The value from this pass mainly comes from the idea of getting an item that allows you to be instant Lucky Friends with any trainer (the Lucky Trinket), the 200 additional Blaze and Volt Fusion Energy, and the XL candy. Obviously these things can’t be directly measured in coin value – it’s up to you if this is worth it.

The Victini encounter is also something maybe worthwhile, especially if you missed your chance to get a Victini before. Mythical Pokémon are always rarities, so if you like to collect them, this is a good opportunity to grab one.

Some folks have also datamined information that reveal that the shiny odds on the encounters are increased. The starters (Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott) are at a 1/20 chance and everything else is at a 1/64 chance. For some reason, the extra Basculin you can catch as part of the deluxe pass are also at a 1/20 shiny rate.

Outside of that, being able to rank up quicker thanks to the additional Pass Tasks every day will get you to the Tour Pass Bonuses faster at ranks 20, 60, and 80. These reward you with buffed up catch XP, which is always useful.

If you’re unsure, you can always progress in the pass first, then upgrade to deluxe on Sunday before it disappears if you’ve felt like you’ve gotten your fill of rewards. The rewards can be claimed retroactively, so you don’t have to worry too much about it. Note that if you do buy the pass later, you will miss out on the additional daily Pass Task (and thus one rank per day), but since the cap will be removed on the weekend, this won’t make you miss much.

Pokémon Go Tour Pass rewards list

The Pokémon Go Tour Pass rewards list includes a variety of items and bonuses that players can earn by accumulating Tour Points through activities such as catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, and completing special Pass Tasks. Rewards range from Poké Balls, Stardust, XP, and Candy to encounters with featured Pokémon like Articuno and Victini. Players who upgrade to the Deluxe version of the Tour Pass gain access to additional exclusive rewards, including a Lucky Trinket, Super Incubators, Premium Battle Passes, and Candy XL. Major milestone ranks unlock further bonuses, such as increased XP and Stardust gains from friendship levels, research breakthroughs, and egg hatching. The pass encourages active play by offering a progression system with daily and weekly tasks to maximize rewards during the event period.

Below, you can see all the rewards for both the basic and deluxe tracks of the Go Tour Pass. Note that from ranks 101-500, you get the same rewards: 50 Stardust for the basic reward and 100 Stardust for the deluxe reward.

The Pokémon Go Tour Pass introduces a battle pass-style progression system available during the Go Tour: Unova event, allowing players to earn Tour Points through activities like catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, and completing special Pass Tasks. Players accumulate points to rank up through tiers, unlocking rewards ranging from Pokémon encounters and items to exclusive avatar gear. The free Tour Pass offers substantial rewards, including a special encounter with Zorua, while the paid Tour Pass Deluxe provides faster progression, additional daily tasks, and premium rewards such as the Lucky Trinket. Daily point caps apply outside the event days, but during the global event, players can earn unlimited points, enhancing the gameplay experience with catch XP bonuses and extended adventure effects.

How do Tour Pass points determine my rewards in Pokémon Go

Tour Pass points in Pokémon GO determine your rewards by tracking your progress through a battle pass-style system during the event. You earn Tour Points primarily by catching Pokémon (5 points each), hatching eggs (10 points each), catching Legendary Pokémon (50 points each), and completing Pass Tasks (50 points each, with one daily task for free players and two for Deluxe pass holders). There is a daily cap on points earned from these activities-up to 150 points plus additional points from Pass Tasks depending on your pass type. As you accumulate Tour Points, you rank up through various levels and milestones, unlocking rewards such as special Pokémon encounters, avatar items, and in-game bonuses. Major Milestones grant the most significant rewards, while smaller ranks offer incremental prizes to keep you motivated. The Tour Pass Deluxe offers faster progression and better rewards but the progression rate and milestones are the same for both free and paid tracks. Once the event fully begins, any previously imposed daily point caps are lifted, allowing unlimited point accumulation to maximize rewards.

How do different activities affect my Tour Pass points in Pokémon Go

Different activities affect your Tour Pass points in Pokémon GO as follows:

• Catching Pokémon, completing raids, and hatching eggs each earn you a small amount of Tour Points, with catching a Pokémon typically granting 5 points and hatching an egg 10 points.

• Catching Legendary Pokémon awards significantly more points, around 50 points each.

• Completing Pass Tasks, which are special event-themed tasks, grants 50 points per task. Free players get one Pass Task per day, while Deluxe Pass holders get two daily tasks, allowing them to earn points faster.

• There is a daily cap on points earned from these activities during the Road to Unova event: up to 150 points from catching, hatching, and raids, plus additional points from Pass Tasks depending on your pass type (50 points for free, 100 points for Deluxe).

• Once the main Pokémon GO Tour event begins, this daily cap is removed, enabling unlimited point accumulation through these activities.

By engaging in these varied activities, you steadily accumulate Tour Points to rank up your Tour Pass and unlock increasingly valuable rewards and bonuses.
