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

Pokémon Go Tour: Unova is almost here! The global event kicks off March 1st and 2nd, but the pre-event festivities, "Road to Unova," begin February 24th. This lead-up event offers a chance to prepare for the main event.

Similar to last year's tour, Road to Unova runs until March 1st, allowing ample time to complete challenges and earn rewards. Whether you prefer exploring the wild or tackling raids, there's something for everyone.

A free Tour Pass is automatically granted, enabling you to complete tasks, accumulate Tour Points, and unlock bonuses. For an enhanced experience, the optional Tour Pass Deluxe provides upgraded rewards, including a Victini encounter.

Shiny Pokémon enthusiasts will be thrilled! Shiny Meloetta makes its Pokémon Go debut via a $4.99 Masterwork Research ticket. This research is non-expiring, allowing completion at your own pace. Additional ticket options offer event-exclusive bonuses, including unique avatar items and themed rewards for hatching and raids.

Here's a list of redeemable Pokémon Go codes for extra rewards! (Note: Codes are not included in this paraphrased version as they were not provided in the original text.)

During Road to Unova, expect encounters with wild Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott, along with potential encounters with their evolved forms. Raids will feature Genesect (various drives), Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion, and more. Five-star raids offer Pokémon with special backgrounds inspired by Pokémon Black and White.
