Get Ready for the Exciting Road to Unova Event in Pokemon Go!

The much-anticipated Pokemon Go Tour: Unova event won’t occur until March 1st and 2nd, but Niantic is generating excitement a tad early this year. In preparation for the grand event, the developer has unveiled the Road to Unova in Pokemon Go, commencing on Monday, February 24th at 10 a.m., local time, and lasting until the start of Pokemon Go Tour. During this prelude period, players will notice Pokemon from the Unova region appearing more frequently in the wild, during Raids, and through Field Research tasks. Additionally, the game will introduce new avatar items, stickers, and chances to encounter Mythical Pokemon.

During the Road to Unova event, several perks are in store for all participants. The maximum number of Remote Raids will be boosted to 20 per week, with no upper limit during Go Tour: Unova. Additionally, hatch distances for eggs inside Incubators will be reduced by half. Free Timed Research tasks will be available, and you’ll have the opportunity to encounter Pokémon like Terrakion, Cobalion, Virizion, Genesect, as well as the Therian forms of Tornadus, Thunderus, and Landorus.

During the Pokemon Go Tour: Unova, Niantic is introducing a new Tour Pass feature that’s free for all players. This special progression track will only be available temporarily and lets you unlock rewards by accomplishing certain tasks and gathering Tour Points. Starting from the Road to Unova event, this free pass becomes accessible and continues until the conclusion of Go Tour: Unova on March 2nd at 6 p.m., local time.

Besides the free version of the Tour Pass, Pokémon Go enthusiasts can anticipate an upgraded version called the Tour Pass Deluxe, available for a fee. This premium option promises quicker rewards and guarantees an encounter with the legendary Pokémon Victini. Typically, Pokémon Go restricts players from acquiring multiple Mythical Pokémon, but those who purchase the Tour Pass Deluxe will be able to secure Victini, regardless of whether they’ve previously caught one.

Discussing the appearance of Legendary Pokemon, specifically Shiny Meloetta, in Pokemon Go during the “Road to Unova” event. This special Pokemon will become available from March 24th, 10 a.m. local time, when players can buy a Masterwork Research ticket for $4.99. This offer will only be available until the end of Pokemon Go Tour: Unova. Different from the Tour Pass Deluxe, the Masterwork Research does not expire, meaning that once players purchase it, they have all the time they need to complete it. Conveniently, Masterwork Research tasks often take a considerable amount of time to finish!

During the Road to Unova event, we’ll sell two additional research passes priced at $4.99 each. The “Road to Unova: Raids” pass focuses on timed research related to Raid Battles, while the “Road to Unova: Hatch” pass centers around hatching Eggs. Each pass offers unique rewards, such as avatar items.

During this upcoming event, Pokemon Go is planning some modifications. Players can anticipate a revamp of the Pokedex, making it simpler for them to explore and discover Pokemon they haven’t caught yet. Additionally, more locations will be teeming with Pokemon than before, according to Niantic. This could mean that densely populated, rural, suburban, or rapidly growing areas might experience a surge in the number of Pokemon. While we can’t predict exactly how these changes will unfold, it’s hoped they will enhance the gameplay experience for players.
