Ticketed event (GO)

This article is incomplete. Please feel free to edit this article to add missing information and complete it. Reason: Missing Wish Granted (Shiny Jirachi) research |

Ticketed events are Special Research tasks available to players who purchased a ticket with real money in the in-game shop in Pokémon GO. Story events for those research tasks occur on event days such as raid days with specific bosses or Community Days. The ticket disappears from the player's Bag once the event ends. Players who do not complete the Special Research during the event can still do so later as the research may be altered with alternate tasks less reliant on event encounters.
EX Raid Boss introduction
Those special researches give exclusive access to new EX Raid bosses before they are formally introduced to the EX raid rotation the following month.
A Colossal Discovery
A Colossal Discovery is available to players who purchased a ticket with real money in the in-game shop between October 24 and November 2, 2019.[1] The story event takes place on November 2, 2019, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time. It is a four-part Special Research that, upon completion, allows players to catch Regigigas before it becomes available in EX Raids in December 2019.
Along with the rewards listed for completing the Special Research tasks, players with the ticket can also receive up to 10 additional free Raid Passes from spinning Gyms during the event period. Ticket holders may also receive event-exclusive Field Research tasks from spinning PokéStops.
