Fans ofPokemon GO’s Kanto Tourhad to choose betweenPokemon RedandPokemon Green, with each version offering its own unique rewards and that’s no different withPokemon GO’s Johto Tour. Each version offers version-exclusive Pokemon just as the Nintendo Switch gamesBrilliant DiamondandShining Pearldo. The purchase of a ticket also comes with event-exclusive Special Research which leads to an exclusive Masterwork Research line which unlocks upon completing the initial research.
IfPokemon GOfans purchase a Johto Tour ticket by Monday, January 10, they will have access to both the January and February Timed Research, while fans who purchase a ticket by Thursday, February 10 will only get the February Timed Research. This timed research will give early ticket-holders a slight advantage so the soonerPokemon GOfans jump on board the Johto Tour, the more they’ll be rewarded. Included with the rewards for both versions are threePokemon GORemote Raid Passes, extra candy, and an exclusive in-game medal celebrating the event.
