Summary
Pokemon GOhas announced the rewards of the May GO Pass. The pass is another part ofPokemon GO’s monetization, which frequently gives new ways for players to obtain additional rewards, such as tickets and boxes.
After launching the Tour Pass for GO Tour: Unova, Niantic brought in a similar reward system andreleased the first GO Pass in April. Unlike the Power-Up Ticket, which is also released monthly and rewards players for specific activities, the GO Pass unlocks goodies for doing almost any in-game activity. For April, the biggest reward for players was encountering Xerneas, one of the Legendaries fromPokemon X and Y. With the announcement of the second GO pass, players will have another elusive pocket monster to catch.
Pokemon GOhas announced the May GO Pass, which will be available from Tuesday, May 6, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, June 3, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Trainers in selected regions will get a free pass, and to level up, they must complete tasks to earn GO Points. Leveling up will unlock rewards, including Stardust, XP, Poke Balls, Candy, and an encounter with Yveltal, the powerfulPokemon from Kalosand Xerneas' counterpart. Players can purchase the GO Pass Deluxe from the Pokemon GO Web Store, obtaining the rewards of the free track and premium items such as Candy XL, Premium Battle Passes, Incense, additional encounters, Lure Modules, and a Lucky Trinket.
The Lucky Trinket was introduced in GO Tour: Unova, and using this item, the trainer turns any friend on the list into a Lucky Friend. In this way, their next Trade will becomeLucky Pokemon, and after that, the Lucky Friend status will be cleared. Regardless of the type of GO Pass they have, trainers will get rewards when they reach Major Milestones: Daily Incense Adventure with doubled duration (tier 1), extra XP and Stardust from Research Breakthrough rewards (tier 2), and additional Stardust and XP when hatching eggs. Players with a free or paid pass should also pay attention, as the rewards must be claimed by Thursday, June 5, at 10:00 a.m. local time, when they will disappear forever.
It’s important to note that the GO Pass is still in the testing phase, and although it’s not available to all players, Niantic plans to expand this rewards system. While players wait for this expansion, May is approaching with events such as Crown Clash, which will mark Kingambit’s debut inPokemon GO, and anevent featuring baby Pokemon.
