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 eagerly awaited Pokémon Go Tour: Unova, set to captivate fans worldwide on March 1st and 2nd. This event promises an abundance of content centered around the Unova region's diverse Pokémon. But the fun kicks off earlier with the Road to Unova event, running from February 24th to March 1st, offering a perfect warm-up for the main festivities.

The Road to Unova isn't a new concept; we've seen similar lead-up events in past Pokémon Go tours. This pre-event period gives you ample time to tackle challenges and amass rewards. Whether you're exploring the wild or engaging in raids and challenges, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

During this lead-up, you'll be gifted a free Tour Pass. This progression track enables you to complete tasks, accumulate Tour Points, and unlock various bonuses. For those looking to enhance their experience further, the optional Tour Pass Deluxe offers upgraded rewards, including an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini.

Shiny enthusiasts have reason to celebrate, too, as Shiny Meloetta will make its Pokémon Go debut during the event. You can access this through a Masterwork Research ticket priced at $4.99. This research has no expiration, allowing you to complete it at your leisure. Additional ticket options are available for 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 the possibility of encountering 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.
