Understanding the GO Pass (free, Deluxe, ranks and milestones)
EventsLast checked 2026-10-31
In 3 lines
- The GO Pass is a free monthly reward pass. Earn GO Points to rank up, and each rank unlocks rewards.
- Reach the milestones at ranks 1, 25, 50 and 75 to turn on bonuses like extra trade Candy and higher gift limits for the rest of the pass.
- The paid GO Pass Deluxe (US$7.99) has more rewards, and whenever you upgrade, you also get the Deluxe rewards for ranks you've already reached.
How it works
| Item | Details (based on the October 2026 pass) |
|---|---|
| Duration | One month (e.g. October 6, 10:00 to November 3, 10:00, local time) |
| Ranks | 1–100, 100 points per rank |
| After rank 100 | You keep getting Stardust each rank (50 free · 100 Deluxe) |
| Earning points | Daily and weekly pass tasks, plus activities like raids and hatching (with a daily cap) |
| Reward claim deadline | Up to two days after the pass ends |
Milestone bonuses
Reach ranks 1, 25, 50 and 75 to turn on bonuses until that month's pass ends. For example, the October pass gave 1 extra Candy when trading (tier 1), higher daily limits for opening and receiving gifts plus more gift slots in your bag (tier 2), 2× Daily Adventure Incense duration (tier 3), and more XP and Stardust from hatching Eggs (tier 4). Deluxe makes some of the bonuses bigger.
You can see each rank's rewards and the totals for each tier on each GO Pass event page. Tap a milestone number to expand the items you get in that tier, free and Deluxe (GO Pass: October).
Should you buy Deluxe?
- Deluxe (US$7.99): Adds Deluxe rewards (Pokémon encounters, Stardust, Rare Candy XL and more) on top of the free rewards, and you rank up faster.
- Deluxe + 10 ranks (US$9.99): Gives you enough points to go straight to rank 11.
- Whenever you buy it, you get all the Deluxe rewards for ranks you've already reached, so it's not too late to decide after ranking up for a while.
- Prices are based on US dollars and shown in your local currency. It may not be available in some regions.
Checklist
- Do your daily pass tasks every day
- Pass the milestone ranks (25, 50, 75) first
