Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn event tickets explained

The year 2012 The event is free for most people. The optional Masterwork Research Tasks, which rewards Shiny Jirachi, can be purchased for $4.99. However that’s the only part that is money-gated.

The “Chasing Legends” Special Research is free for all players who open the game during the weekend, as well as the Latios or Latias Photo Safari quest.

This is not all. You should ensure that Ruby or Sapphire are selected in the “Primal Rumblings” Special Research, as this will tweak certain elements to the event, including participation in the on-going ‘Primal Surge’ contest for who can complete the most Field Research each hour (boosting wild Pokémon and Primal Raids for either team) as well as whether you’ll see wild encounters for Latias and Latios.
