Within Pokémon Go, the Go Pass operates as a progression system, splitting access into complimentary and premium tiers labeled Go Pass Deluxe. Initially introduced during global Unova Tour festivities under the Tour Pass name, this seasonal feature grants players monthly objectives to unlock in-game bonuses through accumulated activity metrics.
Participants advance through reward tiers by achieving set benchmarks, with premium subscribers accessing enhanced loot pools. Key details regarding progression mechanics, bonus structures, and subscription options are outlined below.
Go Pass Structure & Temporal Framework
Serving as Pokémon Go’s answer to battle pass systems, the Go Pass offers parallel reward tracks updated monthly. The standard version remains freely accessible, while the Deluxe edition provides upgraded incentives for paid users. Both paths utilize identical progression requirements, requiring players to accumulate activity markers called Go Points.
Monthly cycles conclude with accelerated progression windows during final weekends, temporarily removing daily point caps. Post-cycle grace periods allow belated reward collection, though permanent forfeiture occurs if deadlines pass. Special items like the Lucky Trinket possess independent expiration dates requiring prompt use.
Progression Mechanics & Point Accumulation
Three primary methods drive Go Point acquisition. Daily challenges provide 100 points for capturing 15 creatures within 24-hour windows. Weekly objectives offer flexible completion timelines, stacking across the month with varying point yields (100-200 per task). Supplemental points derive from routine gameplay:
- Legendary/Ultra Beast Captures: +100
- Egg Hatching: +40
- Standard Captures: +5 (250/day cap)
Tiered Reward System
Progression unfolds through incremental ranks and major milestones. Regular ranks dispense consumables, creature encounters, or cosmetic items, while milestones unlock persistent monthly bonuses. Both subscription tiers share progression rates, though Deluxe users claim rewards from both tracks simultaneously.
Post-final-milestone advancement enters bonus ranks rewarding Stardust – 50/100 per tier for free/Deluxe users respectively. Milestone highlights include exclusive consumables and temporary buffs, with Deluxe subscribers obtaining the Lucky Trinket upon reaching terminal objectives.
Premium Subscription Options
Two non-refundable Deluxe packages exist outside PokéCoin transactions. The standard £7.99 option grants premium track access with enhanced rewards. A £9.99 bundle includes instant 10-tier progression alongside Deluxe benefits.
