Go Pass: Pokémon Go's Battle Pass Tested in Select Regions

Exciting news for Pokémon Go fans—the all-new *Go Pass* feature is now being tested in select regions, offering players a fresh way to earn in-game rewards. Following the success of the Tour Pass during the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event, Niantic is preparing to roll out this battle-pass-style system globally. For those in eligible areas, you can participate in *Go Pass: April* from April 1st to May 6th and unlock a variety of exclusive in-game items.

Yes, battle passes have officially made their way into Pokémon GO! By completing daily and weekly challenges, you'll earn Go Points to level up your pass and access exciting rewards such as encounters with the Legendary Pokémon Xerneas, Stardust, XP, and Poké Balls. The base Go Pass is available for free, but if you're aiming for even more value, the *Go Pass Deluxe* unlocks premium rewards including a Lucky Trinket, Candy XL, Incubators, Lure Modules, and other useful tools. You can upgrade to the Deluxe version at any time and still claim all previously unlocked tier rewards retroactively.

Major Milestones Unlock Special Bonuses

As you progress through the Go Pass ranks, you’ll hit Major Milestones that grant powerful, lasting perks:

• Tier One: Extends the duration of Daily Adventure Incense.
• Tier Two: Boosts XP and Stardust earned from Research Breakthroughs.
• Tier Three: Increases Stardust and XP gained from hatching Eggs.
• Final Deluxe Reward: Another Lucky Trinket, allowing you to guarantee a Lucky Friend encounter.

What to Know About the Go Pass Test

Since this is a test phase, the content and structure of the Go Pass may differ across regions. Some players might receive alternative Legendary encounters, modified item rewards, or even PokéCoins at specific ranks. These variations help Niantic refine the system before its full global launch.

If you’re in an eligible region, don’t miss this opportunity to experience the future of progression systems in Pokémon GO. Be sure to collect all your earned rewards by May 8th, and remember—any Lucky Trinkets obtained must be used before they expire on May 11th!
