Unova Event in Pokémon Go: Ideal Prep for This Year's Tour

Author:Kristen Update:May 20,2025

The excitement is palpable as we approach the much-anticipated Pokémon Go Tour: Unova, scheduled for March 1st and 2nd. This global event promises a wealth of Unova-centric content, but the fun starts early with the Road to Unova event, kicking off on February 24th and running through to March 1st. This preliminary event offers players a fantastic opportunity to gear up before the main festivities begin.

The Road to Unova isn’t a new concept; we saw a similar lead-up during last year’s Pokémon Go tour. This time around, from February 24th to March 1st, you'll have ample time to engage in various challenges and collect rewards. Whether you’re exploring the wilds or tackling raids and challenges, there’s something for every type of player.

Upon participating in the Road to Unova, you'll receive a free Tour Pass. This pass enables you to complete tasks, accumulate Tour Points, and unlock a range of bonuses. For those looking to enhance their experience further, the optional Tour Pass Deluxe offers upgraded rewards, including an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini.

ytShiny collectors have a reason to celebrate as well, with Shiny Meloetta making its Pokémon Go debut. You can access this through a Masterwork Research ticket priced at $4.99. This special research has no expiration date, allowing you to complete it at your leisure. Additionally, various ticket options are available, offering event-exclusive bonuses such as hatch-themed or raid-themed rewards, along with exclusive avatar items.

Here’s a list of redeemable Pokémon Go codes for some freebies!

During the Road to Unova, you’ll encounter wild Pokémon like Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott, with some lucky players spotting their evolved forms. Raids will feature a variety of Pokémon, including Genesect with its different drives, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, among others. Each five-star raid provides an opportunity to catch Pokémon with Special Backgrounds inspired by the Pokémon Black and White versions.
