Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026: Free Meltan, Deluxe and Claim Deadline

Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026 gives free players a Dynamax Meltan encounter, while Deluxe adds more encounters and a Silver Bottle Cap. You don’t need to pay for the debut itself.

The difference between Deluxe and Deluxe + 10 Ranks matters, as do the bonuses tied to specific ranks. There’s also an earlier deadline for earning GO Points than for claiming rewards.

Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026: Free GO Pass and progression dates

The Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026 runs from November 9 to November 15, 2026. The free rewards include an encounter with the new Dynamax Meltan, making this an important pass even if you have no plans to spend money.

Progress through the pass during its active period and look for the Meltan encounter on its reward track. The live GO Pass rewards screen will show the complete rank-by-rank ladder. The published milestone highlights already confirm Rank 25’s free Hatch Distance bonus and the first three Deluxe bonuses.

Deluxe rewards and the two paid options

Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026 Deluxe adds extra Dynamax Meltan encounters and other Premium prizes. One named Deluxe reward is a Silver Bottle Cap, an item that can improve one selected stat using Hyper Training.

Deluxe costs US$14.99. Deluxe + 10 Ranks costs US$19.99 and gives enough GO Points to reach Rank 10. In the UK, use the in-game equivalent price rather than converting dollars yourself. If your local currency isn’t US dollars, use the price displayed by your own game store rather than assuming a direct exchange-rate conversion.

Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026: How long you have to claim rewards

You can progress the pass through November 15, but any earned rewards need to be claimed by November 17 at 11:59 PM local time. That extra claim window is useful, but it isn’t an extra two days to complete the pass itself.

The Silver Bottle Cap has another deadline once obtained: activate it by November 22 at 11:59 PM local time. You then have 365 days to complete the Hyper Training tasks.

Is the paid upgrade worth buying?

If your goal in Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026 is one Dynamax Meltan, the free track already offers it. Deluxe makes more sense if you want extra Meltan encounters or a Silver Bottle Cap for a specific eligible Pokémon.

Both free and Deluxe Dynamax Meltan encounters can be Shiny, but neither track guarantees a Shiny. Deluxe is optional for anyone who just wants their first Dynamax Meltan.

Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026: every confirmed go pass milestone bonus

The free rewards include Dynamax Meltan, the purple GO Wild Area 2026 Tee, event-themed encounters, Stardust, XP, Poké Balls and Candy. Deluxe adds more Dynamax Meltan encounters, a Silver Bottle Cap, Duraludon Pants and premium items including Incense and a Lucky Egg.

The free pass starts November 9 at 10 AM and finishes November 15 at 6 PM local time. GO Points have a daily cap November 9–13 but no cap on November 14–15. Deluxe is US$14.99; Deluxe + 10 Ranks is US$19.99 and reaches Rank 10. You can upgrade later and claim rewards from previously unlocked ranks. Claim deadline: November 17 at 11:59 PM local time. Still unavailable: an official complete rank-by-rank rewards table.

How to catch up on GO Points

For Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026, daily GO Point caps are lifted on November 14 and 15, helping anyone catching up. The pass still stops awarding progress on November 15 at 6 PM local time. Unlocked rewards can be collected through November 17 at 11:59 PM local time.

How to unlock the next Deluxe GO Pass for free

The Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026 offers a useful head start on the following Dynamax Trails event. Claim Tier 1 rewards on Into the Wild to unlock early access to GO Pass: Dynamax Trails on November 14 at 10 AM local time. Those players also get the later Dynamax Trails Deluxe upgrade for free. Simply opening the first pass is not the same as claiming its first tier of rewards.

The Pokémon GO Into the Wild GO Pass 2026 ends November 15 at 6 PM, while earned rewards can be claimed through November 17 at 11:59 PM. If you earn a Silver Bottle Cap through Deluxe, use it by November 22 at 11:59 PM. Hyper Training then gives you 365 days to improve one selected stat. The trainee must be at least a Good Buddy; Shadow Pokémon and already maximised stats are ineligible.
