Pokémon Go’s Road to Unova event is the perfect way to prepare for this year’s tour

The excitement is palpable as we approach the much-anticipated Pokémon Go Tour: Unova, set for March 1st and 2nd. This global event promises an array of engaging content centered around the Unova region. But before the main festivities kick off, you can get a head start with the Road to Unova, running from February 24th to March 1st.

The Road to Unova isn't a new concept; we saw a similar lead-up event during last year's Pokémon Go tour. This pre-event period offers ample time to tackle challenges and gather rewards. Whether you're exploring the wilds or engaging in raids and challenges, there's something for every type of player.

During this preparatory phase, you'll automatically receive a free Tour Pass. This progression track lets you complete tasks, earn Tour Points, and unlock various bonuses. For those looking to enhance their experience, the optional Tour Pass Deluxe offers upgraded rewards, including a coveted encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini.

Shiny hunters have reason to celebrate as Shiny Meloetta will debut in Pokémon Go through a Masterwork Research ticket available for $4.99. This research ticket doesn't expire, allowing you to complete it at your own pace. Additional ticket options provide event-exclusive bonuses such as hatch-themed or raid-themed rewards, along with exclusive avatar items.

Here’s a list of redeemable Pokémon Go codes for some freebies!

Throughout the Road to Unova, you'll encounter wild Pokémon like Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott, with a few lucky players possibly spotting their evolved forms. Raids will feature various Pokémon, including Genesect with its different drives, Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion, among others. Each five-star raid offers a chance to catch Pokémon with Special Backgrounds inspired by Pokémon Black and White versions.
