Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass: Free vs Deluxe Rewards and Deadline

Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass starts free on 24 November 2026 at 10am local time. You can earn GO Points until 30 November at 8pm, but unlocked rewards have a later deadline: claim them before Wednesday, 2 December at 8pm local time.

The free track is open to everyone. Deluxe adds encounters and items, while Deluxe +6 Ranks gives you a head start on progression. It does not finish the pass for you, so it’s worth comparing the two paid options before buying.

Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass free vs Deluxe

Version	Advertised US price	What it changes
Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass (free)	Free	Base reward track and milestone bonuses
GO Pass Deluxe	US$4.99	Paid rewards as well as all free-track rewards
Deluxe + 6 Ranks	US$6.99	Paid track plus enough GO Points to reach Rank 7

Niantic quotes US dollar prices and equivalent local tiers. Check the actual UK checkout price before buying. The Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass paid upgrade may also vary by region.

You can also upgrade later. Ranks you’ve already unlocked still count towards the Deluxe track, so you can claim those paid rewards after purchasing. Just remember that GO Point earning ends on 30 November, whether you upgrade early or late.

When does the pass end and when do rewards expire?

The Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass is automatically granted from Tuesday, 24 November at 10am local time. The last time to earn GO Points is Monday, 30 November at 8pm. Your earned, unclaimed rewards remain available until Wednesday, 2 December at 8pm, also local time.

That two-day gap is a claim window, not two extra days to do Pass Tasks. It is easy to confuse it with the regular November GO Pass, which has a different December 3 reward deadline. Treat them as separate progress tracks and check both individually.

Rank 1 Lucky trades and Rank 10 Stardust

Milestone	Free reward	Deluxe reward
Tier 1, Rank 1	Higher Lucky Pokémon trade and Lucky Friends chances	Same advertised Lucky bonuses
Tier 2, Rank 10	2x Stardust for catches	3x Stardust for catches

The Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass Lucky trade and Lucky Friends boosts belong to the pass milestone. Niantic hasn’t published a numerical probability, so there is no reliable announced percentage to apply to any particular trade. It also hasn’t said that every trade becomes Lucky. Make trades when the bonus is unlocked, not because you’ve merely opened the event page.

For catching, free players earn double Stardust after reaching Rank 10. Deluxe players earn triple Stardust instead. This can be useful when you are already out checking Staryu and Elgyem, but it is a catching bonus, not a boost to Shiny encounters, trade Stardust costs or raid rewards.

Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass: free and Deluxe rewards

The free Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass features event-themed Pokémon encounters, Star Pieces, Rare Candy and Mega Energy for Beedrill, Houndoom, Sableye and Manectric. Deluxe adds extra featured Pokémon encounters, an event avatar pose, additional Star Pieces and Premium Battle Passes.

The full rank-by-rank reward list hasn’t been published yet. You can compare the confirmed reward types now and check the in-game pass from 24 November for the exact quantities and order.

Pokémon GO Twilight Wishes GO Pass Web Store gifts compared

Web Store purchase	Gift with purchase
Standard Deluxe	10 Ultra Balls, 5 Max Revives, 1 Premium Battle Pass, 5 Max Potions
Deluxe + 6 Ranks	10 Ultra Balls, 5 Max Revives, 2 Premium Battle Passes, 5 Max Potions
Deluxe + 6 Ranks Ultra Box	20 Ultra Balls, 10 Max Revives, 10 Max Potions, 5 Premium Battle Passes

The Ultra Box is a separate web-exclusive purchase, not an automatic extra gift that comes with standard Deluxe. Compare the actual checkout price and contents before choosing it. A Web Store Deluxe purchase activates when the event pass begins, so buying before launch doesn’t start GO Point earning early.

Is the Deluxe upgrade worth it?

If you’re mostly interested in the announced wild spawns or the new Field Research pool, stay free initially. The event itself isn’t paywalled, and the Lucky bonus starts at Rank 1. Players who expect to catch heavily may value the triple Stardust available with Deluxe once they reach Rank 10.

Deluxe +6 Ranks is a head start, not an instant completion. It provides enough GO Points to reach Rank 7, leaving the remaining ranks for you to earn. Because earlier paid rewards can be collected after upgrading, you can see how much you actually play before making the decision.

Whatever you choose, claim every unlocked item before 2 December at 8pm local. Our Twilight Wishes event guide lists all raid and wild encounters, while the Field Research rewards guide explains which Pokémon switch on 26 November.
