Pokémon GO will begin testing its GO Pass this Tuesday (1), a system that promises to revamp the way players receive rewards in the game. Available until May 6 for a portion of the user base in select countries, including Brazil, the feature offers free and paid versions.
- Nintendo Switch 2 games should be divided into three phases
- GTA 6 marketing will be delayed to maintain hype close to the release
The goal is to encourage progression within the game with additional rewards for those who participate in weekly missions and accumulate GO Points. The free version of GO Pass is available to all players selected for the trial. It guarantees classic rewards such as Stardust, Poké Balls, Candy, and Experience Points.
The GO Deluxe Pass, a paid version of the feature, offers more valuable prizes and extra opportunities for rapid progress. At any time during the trial period, players can upgrade to the Deluxe version and expand their in-game benefits.
Deluxe Edition includes rare Pokémon and new items like the Lucky Globe
Among the exclusive highlights of the GO Deluxe Pass is the return of the Lucky Globe, an item that allows for a guaranteed Lucky Trade between players — a feature that debuted in the Pokémon GO Tour: Unova event.
Additionally, the paid version includes Extra Large Candies, Incense, Incubators, and a variety of useful items that increase the effectiveness of Trainers' daily actions. Finally, special encounters with rare Pokémon, such as Xerneas, are also among the attractions promised by the developer. With each completed mission and milestone reached, users unlock additional benefits.
If you want to vary it even more, I can suggest other transitions!
- At Level 1, the player receives double the usage time of Daily Adventure Incense.
- At Level 2, research rewards—such as Experience Points and Stardust—become higher.
- At Level 3, this increase also extends to hatching eggs. Players can redeem all earned items until May 8th at 10:00 AM (Brasília time).
New feature reinforces Niantic's strategy of keeping the game up to date
The launch of GO Pass reinforces Niantic's strategy of constantly evolving Pokémon GO. Since its launch, the game has focused on integrating augmented reality with outdoor activities, promoting weekly challenges and major global events.
The company focuses on interactivity as a central pillar of its games, as is the case with other Pokémon titles, including Ingress and Pikmin Bloom. Thus, the initiative also strengthens The Pokémon Company's presence outside of Asia.
Responsible for managing the brand in the West, the Japanese company continues to expand its presence through products such as the popular Trading Card Game, the animated series, and mobile games. With over two decades of history, Pokémon continues to be one of the biggest cultural phenomena in global entertainment.
