GO Pass

A GO Pass is a free, limited-time progression track available during a specified period. By collecting GO Points, you can increase your rank to earn rewards.

Trainers will automatically receive GO Pass: Pokémon 30th Anniversary on Tuesday, March 3, at 10:00 a.m. local time. You can collect GO Points and rank up to get additional rewards through Monday, March 9, at 8:00 p.m. local time.

Additionally, from Saturday, March 7, at 12:00 a.m. to Monday, March 9, at 7:59 p.m. local time, there’s no daily limit for how many GO Points you can earn.

For US$7.99 or your countries equivalent, Trainers can upgrade to the GO Pass Deluxe, a paid version of the GO Pass that offers upgraded rewards and faster progression.

For US$9.9 or your countries equivalent, Trainers can upgrade to the GO Pass Deluxe + 10 Ranks to also automatically earn enough GO Points to reach Rank 11.

While progressing through the GO Pass Deluxe, you’ll be able to claim all of the rewards from both the free GO Pass and GO Pass Deluxe. You can upgrade to a GO Pass Deluxe at any time and still collect rewards from previously unlocked ranks.
