The Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass is a free progression track featuring Golden Lure Modules, event encounters, bonus Candy and a yellow anniversary shirt.
Players automatically receive the pass when the Ultra Unlock: 10th Anniversary Edition event begins on July 21.
A paid Deluxe version is also available with additional rewards, upgraded bonuses and faster progression.
The Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass lasts for less than one week, making it much shorter than the regular monthly GO Pass.
Here is everything included in the free and paid tracks.

Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass Milestone Bonuses
The Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass provides bonuses after reaching specific ranks.
| Rank | Free Pass Bonus |
|---|---|
| Rank 10 | 2× Candy for catching Pokémon |
| Rank 20 | Increased chance of receiving Candy XL |
The paid Deluxe track strengthens the Rank 10 bonus.
| Rank | Deluxe Bonus |
|---|---|
| Rank 10 | 3× Candy for catching Pokémon |
| Rank 20 | Increased Candy XL chance |
These bonuses remain active once unlocked for the remainder of the pass period.
Reaching Rank 10 early gives players more time to benefit from the catch Candy bonus.
How to Earn GO Points
Players rank up the Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass by completing Pass Tasks.
Tasks may involve:
- Catching Pokémon
- Spinning PokéStops
- Completing raids
- Making specific throws
- Walking
- Using Berries
- Completing research
- Participating in event activities
A daily limit may normally restrict how many GO Points can be earned.
That limit is removed from July 25 at 12:00 a.m. until July 27 at 7:59 p.m. local time.
This unlimited period allows players who are behind to complete the entire pass during the final weekend.

How to Get a Golden Lure Module
A Golden Lure Module is included in the free Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass.
Deluxe players can earn an additional Golden Lure Module.
Golden Lure Modules can be placed on PokéStops and may produce Gimmighoul Coins when the PokéStop is spun.
They also create golden PokéStops and provide additional item rewards.
Because Golden Lure Modules are normally difficult to obtain, they are likely to be among the most valuable pass rewards.
Is the GO Pass Deluxe Worth Buying?
The Deluxe upgrade is most useful for players who want:
- An additional Golden Lure Module
- More event Pokémon encounters
- 3× catch Candy instead of 2×
- Faster pass progression
- Web Store purchase bonuses
- Every available anniversary reward
More casual players may be satisfied with the free track.
The free Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass already provides a Golden Lure Module, anniversary shirt and milestone bonuses.
The Deluxe option becomes more appealing for players planning to catch hundreds of starter Pokémon during the event.
GO Pass Deluxe Web Store Bonuses
Buying through the Pokémon GO Web Store provides additional items.
| Web Store Purchase | Bonus Items |
|---|---|
| Deluxe or Deluxe plus 6 Ranks | 10 Ultra Balls, 5 Max Revives, 1 Premium Battle Pass and 5 Max Potions |
| Deluxe plus 6 Ranks Ultra Box | 20 Ultra Balls, 10 Max Revives, 10 Max Potions, 2 Premium Battle Passes, 1 Incubator and 1 Super Incubator |
The Web Store version activates when the pass begins.
Players should compare the in-game and Web Store options before purchasing.
The Ultra Box provides more bonus items but may be sold at a different regional price.
Can You Upgrade Later?
Players can upgrade the Pokémon GO 10th Anniversary GO Pass at any point while the paid option remains available.
Previously unlocked Deluxe rewards can still be claimed after upgrading.
For example, a player who reaches Rank 15 on the free pass can purchase Deluxe and immediately claim the paid rewards from the earlier ranks.
This makes it possible to wait and see how much progress you make before spending money.
However, every reward must still be claimed before the July 29 deadline.
Best Way to Complete the GO Pass Quickly
To finish the pass efficiently:
- Check all available Pass Tasks each day.
- Complete simple catch and spin tasks first.
- Reach Rank 10 as early as possible.
- Save longer tasks for the unlimited GO Point weekend.
- Use Incense and Lure Modules for catch tasks.
- Combine pass tasks with Ultra Unlock Field Research.
- Complete remaining ranks from July 25 to July 27.
- Claim every reward before July 29.
The unlimited GO Point period removes the usual daily restriction.
Players who are busy during the week should be able to catch up during the final weekend.
