Pokémon GO’s Winter Holiday celebrations always bring extra reasons to play, and Go Pass: Winter Holiday 2025 is one of the biggest progression systems tied to this seasonal event. Running alongside Winter Holiday Part 1 and Part 2, this limited-time Go Pass introduces a structured reward track that encourages daily activity, gift interactions, raids, and steady progression.
Go Pass Winter Holiday 2025: Start Date and End Date
Go Pass: Winter Holiday 2025 is a time-limited progression pass available to all Trainers during the Winter Holiday event window. By earning GO Points, you increase your rank on the pass and unlock rewards at each milestone.
Every Trainer automatically receives the free Go Pass when the event begins. A paid upgrade, Go Pass Deluxe, is available for players who want stronger rewards and additional bonuses.

What Is Go Pass in Pokémon GO?
Go Pass is a time-limited progression track that allows Trainers to earn rewards by ranking up. Progression is based on GO Points, which are earned by completing everyday gameplay activities.
There are two versions of the pass: Free Go Pass and Go Pass Deluxe
Free Go Pass
- Automatically unlocked for all Trainers
- Earn GO Points through everyday gameplay
- Includes Pokémon encounters, XP, Stardust, Poké Balls, Candy, and event-themed rewards
- Final encounter on the free track features Snom
Go Pass Deluxe
- Paid upgrade available at any time during the event
- Unlocks all free rewards plus Deluxe-exclusive rewards
- Includes Premium Battle Passes, Rare Candy XL, Candy XL, bonus Pokémon encounters, and the Snom Beanie avatar item
- Optional bundle allows instant progression to Rank 11
Upgrading late does not penalize you—any previously unlocked ranks can still be claimed after purchase.
How to Earn GO Points
Progression in Go Pass: Winter Holiday 2025 is based entirely on GO Points, with each rank requiring a fixed number of points.

You can earn points by completing simple, repeatable actions:
- Winning a raid grants a large chunk of GO Points
- Hatching Eggs steadily boosts progress
- Catching Pokémon contributes points throughout regular play
There is a daily cap on bonus points from tasks, but special periods near the end of the event temporarily remove that limit, making it easier to catch up if you’re behind.
