How to get Tour Points in Pokémon GO

The Road to Unova and Unova Tour events in Pokémon GO are bringing several new mechanics to Pokémon GO. The most exciting of these is the brand new GO Tour Pass - the first ever battle-pass style reward track in Pokémon GO. This will see Trainers getting Tour Points to advance their Pokémon GO Tour Pass across the next seven days.

This is a brand new concept, which was debuted early for Trainers in Los Angeles and New Taipei City for the in-person aspects of the Unova Tour. As a result, everyone is doing this for the first time and learning the ropes together.

We've gathered all the details you need to know about Tour Points in Pokémon GO so you can get the jump-start on your GO Tour Pass this week.

Tour Points increase your rank, and unlock rewards. There are a couple of different ways to earn Tour Points across the week. At the moment, you are capped at earning 200 Tour Points per day. However, this will be changed across the Unova Tour: Global event. This takes place Mar. 1-2 from 10am until 6pm.

The first way to earn Pokémon GO Tour Points is to complete Pass Tasks. These are daily missions that award you progress towards your Tour Pass. These will award you 50 Tour Points.

Trainers can then earn an additional 150 Tour Points by completing certain activities within the game. These are:

For the Unova Tour Global, the Pass Tasks will refresh hourly instead of weekly. That will be your primary way to earn Tour Points in Pokémon GO and let you access the exciting Unova Tour Pass Rewards, which includes a Lucky Trinket and an encounter with Victini.
