Ahead of the upcoming Pokémon Go Tour: Unova event, Niantic has unveiled a new way for players to earn rewards: the Tour Pass. The Tour Pass is a limited-time reward ticket that grants rewards to those who play the game for a set time through a free or premium version that is available.
The Tour Pass goes out to all Pokémon Go players participating in the global Unova Tour event. As players play, they’ll earn Tour Points that unlock rewards and increase their rank through the Tour Pass. Increasing rank grants them additional rewards and bonuses throughout the event as they participate. For those who want additional rewards and plan to play longer, there’s the option to upgrade it to the Tour Pass Deluxe, which also comes with a Victini. Although it’s only live for a short time, this could be Pokémon Go‘s version of a battle pass, and it might be something we see moving forward.
