Pokémon Go Tests Battle Pass in Select Regions

A new Go Pass feature is currently in trial across select regions
Participation is open from April 1st until May 6th
Choose between free and Deluxe tiers

Exciting news for Pokémon Go trainers—a fresh way to earn rewards is on the horizon. The Go Pass, an upcoming feature, has begun testing in select locations. Following the popularity of the Tour Pass during the Pokémon Go Tour: Unova, this system is expected to launch worldwide soon. If you live in an eligible area, you can join the Go Pass: April event right now to collect a variety of free items.

Battle passes are becoming more common in mobile games, and Pokémon Go is now joining the trend. Between April 1st and May 6th, earn Go Points to level up your pass and claim exclusive rewards like encounters with Xerneas, Stardust, experience points, and Poké Balls.

The basic Go Pass is free, but upgrading to the Deluxe version brings premium perks such as a Lucky Trinket, Candy XL, and handy items like Incubators and Lure Modules. You can switch to Deluxe at any time and still collect all the rewards from prior ranks you’ve already reached.

As you advance, you’ll hit Major Milestones with extra bonuses. The first tier increases the duration of your Daily Adventure Incense, the second improves XP and Stardust from Research Breakthroughs, and the third gives you more Stardust and XP when Eggs hatch. And for Deluxe players, the final reward is an extra Lucky Trinket—use it to guarantee a Lucky Friend trade.

Because Go Pass is still in its trial phase, rewards and mechanics may differ depending on your region. Some players might encounter different Pokémon, receive adjusted items, or even earn PokéCoins at certain levels. These variations help Niantic collect data and improve the pass before its full release.

If you’re in an area where Go Pass is available, take this opportunity to experience it before it launches globally. Be sure to collect all your rewards by May 8th, and remember to use your Lucky Trinket before it expires on May 11th!
