Recently, Pokemon GO announced a new ticket, Grow Together Ticket, for the remainder of Shared Skies Season. Pokemon GO trainers who obtain the ticket will receive select rewards and can participate in additional Timed Research tasks, which unlock a ton of items and a chance to encounter new Pokemon.
Although Pokemon GO is free to play, some players are concerned about Niantic promoting microtransactions in the game more frequently. While avoiding spending more Pokemon Go PokeCoins on the in-game store or season pass tickets is a perfectly valid way to play the game for free, this approach does exclude free-to-play players from many additional opportunities.
Release Date
Pokemon GO’s Shared Skies Season began back on June 1 and has already launched various events for players, including the recent Pokemon GO Fest.
Now, the game has launched Grow Together Ticket. The ticket will go on sale on July 17 for $4.99 (or “equivalent pricing tier” in other regions). Tickets are valid from the date of acquisition until 10 a.m. local time on September 3.
Players who acquire the ticket through Pokemon GO online store will also receive two Lucky Eggs as an additional reward. While players must complete research by September, the ticket will only be available until 7:59 p.m. local time on August 1, 2024.
Features
For as long as players have the ticket, their first PokeStop spin each day will provide 5 times the normal amount of XP throughout the season. The ticket will also grant access to a number of Premium Timed Research Tasks, which unlock encounters with Galarian Farfetch’d, Feebas, Swirlix, and Pokemon GO newcomer Tandemaus.
Additionally, players will earn some new rewards through Timed Research, including 2 Lucky Eggs, 9 Rare Candies, 2 Star Pieces, and 2 Incense. However, until now, developer Niantic has not announced Timed Research tasks. This may be announced at the latest after the ticket sales start.
Pokemon GO players can get Grow Together Ticket in Shared Skies Season for themselves or other trainers. But in order to give it to another player, the friendship level of the two players must reach Great Friends or higher. It is worth noting that the tickets are non-refundable, whether for your own account or for a friend.
Since there are currently special rewards available through Party Play in Pokemon GO, now is definitely a good time for players to go out and play with friends. So let’s join in!
