The new "Deluxe GO Pass" for Pokemon GO's Max Finale event comes with a major caveat to one point promised by the premium battle pass. Pokemon GO has seen an exciting year throughout 2025 with lots of major new events and additions to the game, from new Pokemon and evolutions to a variety of events. Pokemon GO has added everything from the Snom and Honedge evolution lines to the introduction of the new "Crowned" forms for Zacian and Zamazenta. Now, the game's multitude of summer events have all culminated in the "Max Finale" event with a special Pokemon.
Pokemon GO's Max Finale event has promised fans the first chance to pick up one of the most notable Pokemon from the franchise's eighth generation. Max Finale officially introduced Pokemon Sword & Shield Legendary Pokemon Eternatus to the game as its main spotlight Pokemon, adding raid battles for the fearsome Pokemon's "Eternamax" form. Eternatus can only be encountered in Tier 6 Raid Battles during the event, requiring teams of 100 players to come together to battle against Eternatus. However, a new premium pass for Max Finale has a significant catch to its rewards.
