Pokemon GO Pass: July 2025 overview

From Tuesday, July 1, 2025, at 10 am to Tuesday, August 5, 2025, at 10 am (local time), the Pokemon GO Pass, an exclusive progression system, will be live in the game. It's open to all players at no cost and rewards them for finishing tasks and earning GO Points. Ranking up through the system reveals a sequence of rewards from practical items to special encounters with Pocket Monsters.

Over the weekend of August 2–3, the standard daily limit on GO Points will be suspended, allowing all players to make progress at a faster pace.

What is the Pokemon GO Pass Deluxe July 2025?

The Pokemon GO Pass Deluxe July 2025 is a paid version that doubles the reward pool. If you go for this option, you get the free GO Pass rewards plus the exclusive rewards for Deluxe owners. Even if you buy this in the middle of the event, you retroactively earn already-unlocked rewards.

Additionally, trainers who buy the GO Pass Deluxe (or the GO Pass Deluxe + 10 Ranks bundle) via the Pokemon GO Web Store will receive a special bonus pack:

• 10 Ultra Balls
• 5 Max Revives

Here's where it gets interesting. By moving up to the Pokemon GO Pass Deluxe July 2025, you get even more bang for your buck, including:

• A Lucky Trinket — an item that allows you to make one friend on your Friends List a Lucky Friend, even without becoming Best Friends first.
• A Super Incubator, Premium Battle Passes, Incense, Lure Modules, and Lucky Egg
• Exclusive Pokemon encounters: Clamperl, Chimecho, Espurr, Yamper, Galarian Farfetch'd, Druddigon, Hisuian Typhlosion, Hisuian Sneasel, Salandit and Dynamax Chansey.
• Extra Candy and XL Candy for key Pokemon in this event

Specifically, Lucky Trinkets expire on August 10, 2025, so be sure to use them before that date. You must also be at least Great Friends with the trainer whom you wish to use it on, and both users must have permissions set for this feature.

Final verdict: Is the Pokemon GO Pass Deluxe July 2025 worth buying?

The free GO Pass already offers a good variety of items, XP, and encounters to keep you interested if you're just a casual player. Everyone gains from the weekend's removal of the GO Point cap.

The Pokemon GO Pass Deluxe July 2025 is a great deal if you're a serious player who appreciates more Pocket Monster encounters, premium items, and quicker progression. If used properly, the Lucky Trinket alone has the potential to change the game, and many people find that the extra benefits outweigh the price.

If you're still not sure, keep in mind that you can still benefit from all previously unlocked ranks if you decide to purchase the Deluxe Pass later in the event. This allows you to test out the free tier before deciding.

For players who are prepared to pay, the Pokemon GO Pass Deluxe July 2025 offers substantial benefits, but the free tier is also quite good. There is something here for everyone, whether your goal is to complete your collection, hunt Shinies, or grind experience points.

Assessing how much you value the extras and how much you intend to play this month is crucial. The Deluxe tier is probably worthwhile for players who are active. Others can still find July to be a fruitful month in Pokemon GO because of the free GO Pass.
