Pokémon GO August Pass Adds Latias and Lucky Trinket
Pokémon GO Pass: August begins on August 4, 2026, and remains active through September 8 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Its headline rewards are Latias on the free track and a Lucky Trinket on the paid track.
News summary
The free track includes a Latias encounter with a chance to be Shiny, while the paid Deluxe track ends with a Lucky Trinket.
GO Pass Deluxe costs $7.99, and the $9.99 Deluxe + 10 Ranks option immediately advances the pass to Rank 11.
Daily GO Point limits are removed from September 5 at 12:00 a.m. through September 6 at 11:59 p.m. local time.
All pass rewards must be claimed by September 10 at 10:00 a.m. local time, and the Lucky Trinket expires three days later.
Event overview
Scopely Explore’s August pass progresses through gameplay activities and event tasks, with the Basic and Deluxe reward tracks advancing together. Players can upgrade to Deluxe while the pass is active and receive previously unlocked paid-track rewards.
Milestone bonuses increase Candy and Candy XL from trades, raise Gift limits, double Daily Adventure Incense duration and add Egg-related XP and Stardust benefits at specified ranks.
The Lucky Trinket can turn an eligible friend into a Lucky Friend. The selected Trainer must be at least a Great Friend and cannot already be the player’s current Lucky Friend.
