Xerneas or Yveltal routes determine rewards during the Kalos Global Tour
Shiny rates increased with starters, Honedge raids, and costumed Pikachu
New Go Pass enhancements, Mega Night bonuses, and Shiny Diancie Masterwork Research

The anticipation always builds before a major Pokémon GO Tour event, and Kalos is fully embracing that pre-festival excitement. With in-person stops approaching in Tainan and Los Angeles, Niantic has revealed more details about what awaits both at the live venues and during the global finale.

If you are attending the real-world events, tickets and add-ons like the new Mega Night experience remain available. These extras extend bonuses throughout the weekend, and attendees in Los Angeles can even pre-order merchandise for pickup at the Rose Bowl Stadium.

For those joining online, the focus is on Pokémon GO Tour: Kalos – Global, featuring branching Special Research paths linked to either Xerneas or Yveltal. Selecting between the X Version or Y Version medal offers more than just cosmetic differences; your choice influences rewards such as Special Background encounters and themed Field Research tied to Unown variants.

The global event also slightly improves shiny catch rates. Kalos starters—Chespin, Fennekin, and Froakie—will appear more frequently, alongside costumed Pikachu and Honedge from raids. Additionally, players can look forward to new music composed by Junichi Masuda and a variety of Kalos-themed avatar items.

A new Go Pass: Road to Kalos is also available during the celebrations, offering cosmetics like the Zygarde Jacket upon upgrade, along with smaller rewards throughout its duration. Between the free T-shirt, new stickers, and Masterwork Research leading to Shiny Diancie, there are plenty of incentives to keep you exploring across the map during the finale weekend.

If you plan to participate when Kalos goes global, it is worth checking for the latest Pokémon GO codes first, as extra items can be helpful while managing raids, research tasks, and shiny hunting simultaneously.
