Tips

The GO Pass is granted for free automatically. Earn GO Points and hit milestones to unlock the 2× candy / 2× XP bonus and the Mewtwo encounter.

GO Pass Deluxe ($7.99–$9.99) adds 3× candy / 3× XP, plus Articuno/Zapdos/Moltres encounters and Mewtwo Candy XL.

Stack the 2× catch candy bonus (after unlocking GO Pass) with a Pinap Berry for 12 candies per catch! Prioritize Pokémon you need candy for.

GO Pass rewards must be claimed by 3/15 at 19:59. Don't forget!
