The adventure pass is a limited-time reward system that runs alongside certain Pokémon GO events. Complete various gameplay activities to earn points and progress through the adventure pass and earn rewards like items, avatar items, Pokémon Candy, Pokémon encounters, timed bonuses and more.
The adventure pass may feature two tracks of rewards: a Basic pass available to all participating Trainers at no cost and a Deluxe pass that can be purchased via the in-app Shop. During the event, you can view the adventure pass and your progress in the Events Tab of the Today View.
Note that each adventure pass may have a unique name corresponding to its specific event (e.g. Tour Pass for Pokémon GO Tour’s adventure pass).
How do I progress through the adventure pass?
Complete various gameplay activities to earn points. A certain number of points are required to progress through each rank in the adventure pass. The more points you earn, the more ranks and rewards you’ll unlock!
There are two ways that points can be earned. The first is through regular gameplay activities like catching Pokémon, hatching eggs, participating in Raids, etc. These actions may vary depending on the specifics of the adventure pass. As you complete these activities, your progress is automatically tracked and any points earned will count toward both Basic and Deluxe Passes.
The second is a set of specific tasks that are similar to Research Tasks, in that they ask you to complete a specific set of actions. For example, you may need to catch a certain number of Pokémon, or power up a specific Pokémon Type. These tasks may appear at a varied cadence (e.g. daily or hourly) depending on the adventure pass.
What's the difference between the Basic and Deluxe Pass?
While both Basic and Deluxe adventure passes allow you to progress through ranks and earn rewards, the Basic Pass is available to all players at no cost, while the Deluxe Pass requires an in-app purchase to unlock and may provide more valuable or rare rewards.
Both Passes progress simultaneously, allowing you to claim all potential rewards as you advance.
Keep in mind that certain events do require a paid ticket in order to participate and therefore receive the Basic Pass (e.g. Pokémon GO Tour: Los Angeles or Pokémon GO Tour: New Taipei City).
Can I upgrade to the Deluxe pass after starting the event?
Yes! You can upgrade to the Deluxe pass at any time during the event by purchasing access through the in-app shop. When you upgrade, you'll automatically get all rewards from Basic pass ranks that you've previously unlocked.
How long do I have to complete the adventure pass?
Each adventure pass is tied to its specific event duration. Once the event ends the adventure pass will no longer be available and any unclaimed rewards will expire, however there will be a grace period following the end of an event, during which you may still claim your rewards. This period may vary depending on the specific event.
Note that the support team will be unable to restore access to the adventure pass or reward unclaimed events after the end of the event.
