Become part of Pokémon GO Tour: Johto with the GO Gym Trainer Contest
Trainers,
It’s time to take another step in your Trainer journey—a step into the world of Pokémon GO! To further celebrate the Johto region and Pokémon Gold and Pokémon Silver, Trainers around the world will have a chance to be featured in-game as part of the Pokémon GO Tour: Johto event!
Event-exclusive GO Gym Trainer characters will be appearing on the map during Pokémon GO Tour: Johto
During the Pokémon GO Tour: Johto event, GO Gym Trainer characters will be appearing on the in-game map. You’ll be able to find these Trainer characters even if you don’t have a ticket for the event. You’ll also be able to battle these Trainers and gain rewards through Timed Research!
Not only can you battle them—you could be one of them!
