  • The Remote Raid Pass limit will be increased to 20 from Monday, February 24 to Friday, February 28, 2025.

Road to Unova event makes Shiny Meloetta avaliable worldwide in Pokémon GO

Just as previously mentioned, the upcoming Unova Tour introduces Masterwork Research, which eventually results in an encounter with a Shiny Meloetta. You’ll be able to buy the Masterwork Research ticket directly within the game when the Unova event commences. Make sure to take advantage of this event to get ahead on your tasks!

Road to Unova paid tickets

During the Road to Unova event and the Global Unova Tour (happening over the weekend), you’ll find two optional, paid tickets available. These tickets come with extra benefits for both events. Unlike events such as GO Fest or GO Wild Area, there are no other paid tickets offered for this particular weekend event.

They are as follows:

Road to Unova: Raids:

The price for the Raid Pass is set at $4.99, granting you special rewards themed around Raids and unique Timed Research tasks that are only available during events. Among the perks are:

1. A chance to battle with rare Pokémon encountered during Raids.
2. Extra rewards for completing Raid Battles successfully.
3. The ability to participate in a Raid Battle without waiting for the Raid Egg to hatch or a Raid Boss to appear near you.
4. A limited time to complete Timed Research tasks, which may yield exclusive rewards not available elsewhere.

  • 5 Cobalion Candy XL
  • 5 Terrakion Candy XL
  • 5 Virizion Candy XL
  • 5 Tornadus Candy XL
  • 5 Thundurus Candy XL
  • 10 Reshiram Candy
  • 10 Zekrom Candy
  • 5 Landorus Candy XL
  • 25 Genesect Candy XL
  • Black and White Joggers avatar item

Then, the bonuses are:

  • Additional 5,000 XP from completed raids
  • 1 additional Candy awarded for catching Pokémon in five-star raids
  • 1 additional Candy XL awarded for catching Pokémon in five-star raids (Trainers 31+)
  • 2× Stardust from Raid Battles
  • 1 additional Raid Pass from spinning Photo Discs at Gyms each day

Road to Unova: Hatch

Alongside the price of $4.99, the Hatch ticket comes with rewards centered around the Hatch theme, plus an additional batch of Timed Research tasks.

The Timed Research includes encounters with the following:

  • Maractus
  • Sigilyph
  • Bouffalant

There is also the Black and White Hoodie avatar item.

In addition, you will have the following bonuses across the Road to Unova event:

  • 2× Hatch XP
  • 2× Hatch Candy
  • 2× Hatch Stardust

Unova tickets can be bought exclusively from Monday, February 24th, 10:00 a.m., through to Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, 6:00 p.m., in your local time zone. The bonuses associated with these tickets will remain active until the same date and time.

Wild Encounters and Raids

During the “Road to Unova” event in Pokémon GO, you’ll encounter Snivy, Tepig, and Oshawott much more often. Their second stage evolutions, Servine, Pignite, and Dewott, will also show up, but less frequently. Notably, only the starters themselves can appear as shiny versions.

Then, the following Pokémon will feature in Raids including a daily Raid Hour:

  • Genesect (Monday, Feb. 24)
  • Coballion (Tuesday, Feb. 25)
  • Terrakion (Tuesday, Feb. 25)
  • Virizion (Tuesday, Feb. 25)
  • Therian Forme Tornadus (Wednesday, Feb. 26)
  • Therian Forme Thundurus (Wednesday, Feb. 26)
  • Therian Forme Landorus (Wednesday Feb. 26)
  • Reshiram (Thursday, Feb. 27)
  • Zekrom (Friday, Feb. 28)

In this scenario, all the featured Pokémon will learn their unique abilities. Furthermore, there’s a possibility of obtaining a Unique Backdrop for these Legendary Pokémon during the event. Pokémon appearing in both games can potentially have either backdrop, whereas Pokémon exclusive to Black or White can only secure the backdrop corresponding to the game they originated from.

Road to Unova Pokémon GO Eggs

During the event, there will be special Unova themed 2 km Eggs. The pool is as follows:

  • Roggenrola
  • Timburr
  • Karrablast
  • Shelmet
  • Larvesta

Road to Unova Timed Research

Beyond the thrill of raids, I’m excited about the Road to Unova event in Pokémon GO. Not only is this event open to all players, but it also offers a series of Timed Research tasks. By completing these tasks, you’ll have opportunities to encounter some fascinating Pokémon, including:

  • Terrakion
  • Cobalion
  • Virizion
  • Therian Forme Tornadus
  • Therian Forme Thundurus
  • Therian Forme Landorus
  • Genesect
  • Genesect (Burn Drive)
