Pokémon GO Tour: Johto — Special Research and More To Come!

The Pokémon you choose will be involved in your research tasks during the event, so choose wisely!

Special Research tasks will include the following challenges.

• Catching different species of Pokémon
• Evolving Pokémon
• Earning Stardust
• Taking GO Snapshots
• Defeating Team GO Rocket Grunts

Trainers will be able to earn the following rewards by completing Special Research tasks.

• Items for evolving Pokémon
• Rocket Radar pieces
• An encounter with Shiny Gyarados
• An encounter with Celebi

If you catch Celebi during the event, it will know the attack Magical Leaf! Tickets are now live for the global event! Tickets are available for purchase in the in-game shop for US $11.99 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency, plus any applicable taxes and fees). Tickets cannot be purchased with PokéCoins. Tickets to this event are nonrefundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service). If you purchase a Pokémon GO Tour: Johto ticket by the following date, then you’ll also receive access to the Season of Heritage February Timed Research!
