Exciting news for *Pokémon GO* fans—Niantic is currently testing a brand-new feature called the **Go Pass**, now live in select regions. Inspired by the success of the Tour Pass during *Pokémon GO Tour: Unova*, this new reward system offers players a fresh way to earn in-game goodies and rare encounters. The global rollout is on the horizon, but if you're located in one of the eligible test regions, you can already dive into *Go Pass: April* and start collecting exclusive rewards from **April 1st through May 6th**.
How Does the Go Pass Work?
Similar to popular battle pass systems seen across modern mobile gaming, the *Go Pass* lets trainers earn **Go Points** by completing in-game activities. As you explore your neighborhood and engage with *Pokémon GO*'s core gameplay, you’ll level up your pass and unlock increasingly valuable rewards. These include special Pokémon encounters like **Xerneas**, generous amounts of **Stardust, XP**, and essential items such as **Poké Balls**.
Free vs. Deluxe Tiers
The standard **Go Pass** is completely free to claim and enjoy. However, if you’re looking for enhanced benefits, the **Go Pass Deluxe** offers premium-tier rewards such as a **Lucky Trinket**, **Candy XL**, and useful tools like **Incubators** and **Lure Modules**. Best of all, you can upgrade to the Deluxe version at any time during the event and still receive all previously unlocked premium rewards retroactively.
Major Milestones Unlock New Bonuses
As you climb the ranks of your Go Pass, you'll hit key milestones that grant powerful long-term perks. These include:
- Tier 1: Extended duration for Daily Adventure Incense
- Tier 2: Boosted XP and Stardust gains from Research Breakthroughs
- Tier 3: Increased Stardust and XP earned from hatching Eggs
And for those who opt into the Deluxe tier, the final milestone unlocks an additional **Lucky Trinket**, allowing you to guarantee a Lucky Friend encounter—an invaluable boost for collectors and competitive traders alike.
Extra Rewards & Regional Variations
Because the Go Pass is still in its testing phase, Niantic is experimenting with different structures and rewards across regions. This means some players may encounter unique Pokémon, adjusted item drops, or even receive **PokéCoins** at certain ranks. These variations help Niantic refine the system before it launches worldwide.
Important Dates
Make sure to complete your challenges and collect all your earned rewards by **May 8th**, or they’ll disappear forever. Also, be mindful that the **Lucky Trinket** received through the Deluxe tier expires on **May 11th**, so use it wisely before it’s gone.
Get in on the Action Early
If you're in an eligible region, this is your chance to experience the future of *Pokémon GO* progression systems before it rolls out globally. Test out the Go Pass, rank up, and enjoy a new layer of engagement while earning top-tier rewards along the way.
