Pokémon GO Tour Johto Version Differences: Gold vs Silver

Posted in

With Pokémon GO Tour Johto being around the corner, we wanted to revisit the global event’s two different versions: Silver and Gold. Pokémon GO Tour 2022 takes place on Saturday, February 26, from 9:00 am to 9:00 pm local time.

This year, the difference in featured Pokémon is not dramatic, but you’ll be more likely to encounter certain Shiny Pokémon in the wild depending on the event version you selected.
