On February 26, 2022, the Johto Tour will take place in Pokémon GO. During this event, you can choose between two different editions that will bring you different monsters. We at MeinMMO have looked at what you can expect from each.
What kind of event is it? Similar to the Kanto Tour, which took place in Pokémon GO in early 2021, there will be another such event on February 26, 2022: The Pokémon GO Tour: Johto. During the event, you will encounter monsters from the Johto region, and for the first time, all Shinies from the 2nd generation will be available.
Before the event starts, however, you must purchase a corresponding ticket in the in-game shop. As with the Kanto Tour, there will again be two different editions you need to choose from for the Johto Tour. We will show you which contents you can expect.
What editions are available for the Johto Tour?
Where can you get the event ticket? You can purchase the event ticket for the Johto Tour from the in-game shop of Pokémon GO. You will find it under the section “Worldwide Events.” It costs just under 12 euros. Before the event starts in February, you will then need to choose your respective edition. Options are Gold and Silver.
How can you choose the edition? Once you have secured the paid ticket for the Johto Tour, Niantic offers you the option to choose between the golden and silver editions.
Depending on which edition you choose, you will encounter different Pokémon and Shinies during the event. However, think carefully about your choice in advance, as this decision is binding and cannot be changed afterwards.

All Spawns and Shinies at a Glance
Below we have created a graphic where we show you all spawns and shinies categorized by edition. To make the best choice for you, we recommend comparing the respective spawns.
Endivie, Feurigel, Karnimani, and Hoppspross will be available during the event in both editions. For this reason, we have highlighted them for you in the image.
What should you keep in mind? The event is primarily focused on the theme of Shinies. Therefore, you should primarily consider which monsters you are still missing in their shiny form when making your selection.
Also, talk to friends about which Pokémon they are still missing so that you can trade them later. Additionally, it would be beneficial if you choose different editions within your friend circle so that you can cover all Pokémon.
According to Niantic, it is also necessary to trade specific monsters to complete the collector challenge (via pokemongolive.com). Therefore, it also makes sense to choose different editions.
What do you think of the spawns of the respective editions? Which color will you choose? Or will you skip purchasing the ticket entirely? Feel free to share your opinion in the comments here on MeinMMO and exchange thoughts with other trainers.
