Details of the promised Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event have been announced by Niantic. Although the Kanto event generally ran smoothly here in the US, there were some server issues and other issues early on. One that impacted players the most was a large number of trainers who hadn't purchased the Kanto Tour ticket who got access to the Special Research quests for Shiny Ditto and Shiny Mew. Since this was the main reason many players spent $12 on their ticket, Niantic promised to make it up. And now we know how they'll do it, so here's our Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event guide telling you everything you need to know.
Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Events Guide
Below, we detail what you'll get, when it starts and ends, and who qualified for the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event. Some details will have to wait until the event actually begins, so check back for any potential updates, especially regarding the full Timed Research quest you'll get.
Who Qualifies for the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event
Anyone who purchased the Kanto Tour ticket will be included in the new bonus event held in Pokémon GO. Those who accessed paid Special Research quests without paying for them will keep the rewards and/or quests and can complete them whenever they want. However, they will not get the bonuses for this new bonus event which are detailed below.
When is the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event
If you purchased the Kanto Tour ticket, the bonus event will start on March 5 at 10 a.m. in your local time zone. But despite being the start time, it's really a month-long slow event, focused on a single timed research quest that will yield some pretty substantial rewards. But you only have one month to get them. The Timed Research quest and other bonuses (see below) will expire on April 5 at 10 a.m. local time, so be sure to claim and complete them before then.
What do players get for the Kanto Tour bonus event?
The highlight of the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event is a new timed research quest. While we don't know what tasks you'll need to complete for this, we do know what rewards you'll receive. Presumably, the tasks will be simple, as this is a bonus for players who felt wronged by the issues of the Kanto Tour event. So here is what you will receive from the Timed Research quest.
- 30 Ultra Balls
- A decoy module
- A Poffin
- A great incubator
- A lucky egg
- Three silver Pinap berries
- A piece of star
- Un Elite Fast TM
- Un Elite Charged TM
- A charged TM
- Un Fast TM
- 100 Mew Candy
Along with that, a new free set of three Remote Raid Passes will be available in the in-game store for qualified players to pick up anytime from March 5 through April 5.
So that's all you need to know in our Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Bonus Event guide. Be sure to check back Thursday and Friday for more details on the new Timed Research.
