What kind of event is this? In Pokémon GO, the so-called GO Tour is taking place for the third year in a row on the last weekend of February. In this event, a specific region of the game is highlighted, which is why the monsters of the respective generation can be found everywhere during the event period.

After the Kanto and Johto regions were featured in the last two years, the 3rd generation of the games is up for 2023. So you can look forward to a two-day Hoenn Tour event.

We explain how you can participate in the event and want to know from you in our survey whether you will be participating in the Hoenn Tour.

How to participate in the Hoenn Tour

When does the event take place? The Hoenn Tour will take place on Saturday, February 25, 2023, and Sunday, February 26, 2023, each from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM. The event is global, so you can participate from anywhere in the world.

How can one participate in the Hoenn Tour? This year the Hoenn Tour is equally accessible to all trainers. Unlike previous years, there will be no paid event ticket that gives you special advantages in the game.

To take advantage of the event, you just need to log in to Pokémon GO during the event period and you will encounter plenty of Hoenn Pokémon in the wild, in raids, and from eggs.

Is there still a ticket? There is no paid ticket. However, by completing the special research “Proto-Grollen”, you can secure a special free event ticket that allows you to choose between Team Ruby and Team Sapphire.

In a kind of competition, you will compete against trainers from the other team every hour and will need to solve as many field research tasks as possible to unlock additional cool spawns as well as special proto raids with Kyogre and Groudon.

We have summarized the differences between Ruby and Sapphire in the following article:

What special features does the Hoenn Tour bring?

Wild spawns: During the Hoenn Tour, you will encounter various wild monsters from the Hoenn region in the following four different habitats:

• Glowing Sand
• Uncanny Fog
• Green Earth
• Historic Coast

So you can expect Pokémon such as Stollunior, Roselia, Tanhel, Bummelz, and Perlu there. In past events, the habitats have typically changed hourly, so it’s likely that this will also be the case during the Hoenn Tour.

Strong raid bosses: In raids, you will find more cool specimens from the 3rd generation. A highlight here are the new proto raids with Proto-Kyogre and Proto-Groudon. Both belong to the strongest attackers of their type. Similar to Mega Evolutions, you will need to collect Proto Energy to temporarily evolve into the Proto Form.

Regional Pokémon: For the Hoenn Tour, you also have the opportunity to encounter one or the other regional monster, meaning Pokémon that are typically found only in specific parts of the world outside of special events. Some of them, such as Illumise or Vipitis, will be found in the wild.

To secure the rarer regional Pokémon from the Hoenn region, such as Relicanth, it’s best to hatch your eggs now, because you can only find these monsters in the 10 km eggs of the event.

Shinies: On the occasion of the Hoenn Tour, all monsters from the 3rd generation will be available in their shiny forms in the game for the first time. Pokémon such as Tropius, Gehweiher, or Tuska will celebrate their shiny debut in the game. With a bit of luck, you might even encounter one or the other shiny specimen on the event days.

By the way: With the paid special research “Masterpiece Research: Fulfilled Wish” you have a guaranteed chance to encounter a shiny Jirachi.

Other features: In addition, you can expect additional features such as new avatar items, event stickers, or special music. Whether there will also be cool bonuses is still not officially known.
