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 to take place on March 1st and 2nd. This global event promises a wealth of content centered around the Unova region. But before the main event kicks off, you can get a head start with the Road to Unova, starting on February 24th and running until March 1st. This pre-event phase is your chance to dive into the action early and prepare for the festivities ahead.

The concept of a lead-up event isn't new; we saw a similar approach during last year's Pokémon Go tour. The Road to Unova offers ample time to tackle challenges and amass rewards, catering to everyone from wild Pokémon hunters to raid enthusiasts.

As part of this lead-up, you'll receive a free Tour Pass, which lets you complete tasks, earn Tour Points, and unlock various bonuses. For those looking to enhance their experience, the optional Tour Pass Deluxe provides upgraded rewards, including an encounter with the Mythical Pokémon Victini.

Shiny collectors have something special to look forward to as well. Shiny Meloetta will make its Pokémon Go debut through a Masterwork Research ticket priced at $4.99. This research doesn't have an expiration date, 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 spotting their evolved forms. Raids will feature a variety of 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.
