Niantic is reintroducing the Lucky Trinket as the headline reward for the Pokémon GO November 2025 GO Pass Deluxe. Trainers who reach the highest rank this month can earn the Lucky Trinket and unlock an exclusive encounter with Virizion, the Legendary Grassland Pokémon, in a battle inspired by the ongoing Tales of Transformation event.
The Lucky Trinket remains one of the most desired rewards in the game, offering players an easy way to enhance friendships and earn valuable long-term bonuses.
Special Virizion Encounter
Players who climb to Rank 100 in the November GO Pass can face Virizion, the Grassland Pokémon from the Unova region. This encounter features a unique Tales of Transformation-themed background that ties directly into the season’s event.
Virizion is a Grass and Fighting-type Pokémon known for its high special defense and elegant design. It can use moves like Double Kick, Leaf Blade, Stone Edge, and its signature Sacred Sword. While powerful, its typing leaves it vulnerable to Flying, Fire, and Psychic-type Pokémon. Trainers will need well-prepared counters to defeat it efficiently.
GO Pass Duration and Upgrade Details
The November 2025 GO Pass runs from November 4 to December 2, beginning and ending at 10:00 AM local time. Players still have a short window to wrap up the Halloween event before the new pass season begins.
The GO Pass Deluxe, available for $7.99, provides accelerated rank progression and access to premium rewards. Progress can be made by completing daily and weekly tasks such as catching Pokémon, hatching Eggs, and winning battles.
Lucky Trinket and Its Benefits
The Lucky Trinket can be earned by reaching the maximum rank in the GO Pass Deluxe track. Once obtained, it allows a Great Friend or higher to become a Lucky Friend.
When two Lucky Friends trade Pokémon, both Pokémon become Lucky, reducing Stardust costs by 50% and guaranteeing IVs of at least 12 in every stat. This makes the Lucky Trinket one of the most rewarding friendship-based items in Pokémon GO.
