As the season wraps up with a splash involving Sinistea in Undella Bay, Pokémon Go fans have something new to look forward to. Get ready for a weekend event with a distinct Unovan flavor following last week’s Wild Area excitement.
The Pokémon Go Tour: Unova has taken the spotlight, acting as the grand finale to a season dubbed “Dual Destiny” themed around Unova. Kick-starting with in-person gatherings in New Taipei City, Taiwan, and Los Angeles, California on February 22 and 23, this tour will then become a global event on March 1 and 2. Europe, however, is off the in-person event circuit, probably due to the European International Championship’s competitive activities during that weekend. This will be the third in-person “Tour” event, succeeding gatherings in Las Vegas earlier this year and in Pasadena/Greater Los Angeles in 2023.
If you’re keen to join the in-person festivities, tickets are up for grabs now, whereas the global celebration remains free, ensuring everyone can participate. Additionally, there’s an optional purchase available for a lengthy “Masterwork Research” storyline, rewarding diligent players with a shiny version of the mythical Meloetta, a recent addition to Pokémon Home.
For those curious about the finer details, the event website has all current information, though specifics like the availability of certain Pokémon will be disclosed as the date nears. Rumor has it we might see the much-anticipated official debut of the Black 2 and White 2 box art versions of Kyurem, after a premature release last year that saw them quickly withdrawn in favor of Kyurem’s standard form.
