What is the GO Pass?

The GO Pass is a free, limited-time progression track available during a specific period. By collecting GO Points, Trainers can increase their rank and unlock rewards.

Starting Tuesday, May 6, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. local time, some Trainers in select regions will automatically receive the GO Pass: May at no cost. Trainers can collect GO Points and rank up to earn additional rewards until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. local time.

Additionally, from Saturday, May 31, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. to Sunday, June 1, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. local time, there will be no daily limit on the number of GO Points you can earn—perfect for making extra progress!

Please note that all rewards unlocked through the GO Pass must be claimed by Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Make sure to collect your rewards before they expire!

GO Pass Deluxe

For Trainers looking to enhance their experience, the GO Pass Deluxe, a paid version of the GO Pass, will be available!

While progressing through the GO Pass Deluxe, Trainers can claim all rewards from both the free GO Pass and the GO Pass Deluxe tracks. You can upgrade to GO Pass Deluxe at any time and still collect rewards from previously unlocked ranks, ensuring you don’t miss out on any bonuses.

As a reminder, rewards earned through the GO Pass Deluxe must be claimed by Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. local time. Don’t forget to claim your rewards before they expire!

Featured Pokémon and Rewards

Complete Pass Tasks to rank up your GO Pass and earn exciting rewards, including:

  • Encounters with Yveltal and more!
  • Stardust
  • XP
  • Poké Balls
  • Candy
  • And even more goodies!

Trainers who upgrade to the GO Pass Deluxe can unlock even more exclusive rewards, such as:

  • A Lucky Trinket
  • Premium items like Premium Battle Passes, Incense, a Lucky Egg, an Incubator, Lure Modules, and more!
  • Candy XL
  • Additional encounters

Another Lucky Trinket?!

The Lucky Trinket will return as the final reward for this month’s GO Pass Deluxe!

A Lucky Trinket is a one-time-use item that allows you to turn one friend from your Friend List into a Lucky Friend. When used, it immediately sets the status of you and your chosen friend to Lucky—even if you haven’t reached Best Friend status yet! Once you become Lucky Friends, the next time you trade with each other, both Pokémon involved in the trade will become Lucky Pokémon. After the trade, your Lucky Friend status will be cleared.

Please note:

  • The Lucky Trinket will only remain in your Item Bag for a limited time. The Lucky Trinket earned through the GO Pass: May will expire on Sunday, June 8, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. local time, regardless of when you claim it.
  • You must be at least Great Friends with the Trainer you wish to apply your Lucky Trinket to.
  • You cannot use a Lucky Trinket on a Trainer you are already Lucky Friends with.
  • Using a Lucky Trinket does not alter the distance requirements for trading.
  • If you prefer not to allow others to use their Lucky Trinkets on you, you can disable this feature in your Settings.
Differences in GO Pass Rewards

As part of the testing phase, some Trainers in regions with access to the GO Pass may notice a few differences between versions, such as:

  • An additional encounter at certain ranks of the GO Pass Deluxe
  • Modified item rewards at certain ranks of the GO Pass Deluxe
  • Stickers awarded at certain ranks of both the GO Pass and GO Pass Deluxe
  • PokéCoins awarded at certain ranks of the GO Pass
  • Fewer overall ranks for both the GO Pass and GO Pass Deluxe
Pokémon GO Web Store

In addition to the in-game purchase option, the GO Pass Deluxe is now also available on the Pokémon GO Web Store!
