Here is everything you need to know about the Pokemon Go Battle Ticket including start time, Rewards, and more.
The Pokémon Go Tour: Johto event follows the path of the Go Tour: Kanto event from last year, but this time it honors the second generation of the Johto region.
You’ll be able to capture every Pokémon from Generation 2 in Go Tour: Johto, as well as complete new research tasks and 10 Collection Challenges. However, whether you want a paid or free-to-play experience determines which elements of the event you have access to.
Pokemon Go Johto Festival Battle Ticket – Start Time
On Saturday, February 26th, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. (local time), the main Pokémon Go Tour: Johto event will start, with in-person activities taking place in select locations on Sunday, February 27th.
Johto is separated into hourly rotating habitats, each of which focuses on a different part of the Johto region. The spawn rate of Pokémon found in a certain location will be increased during these hourly blocks.
The schedule for Go Tour: Johto can be found below, and it’s crucial to note that all of the times stated are in local time. This implies that no matter where you live, New Bark To You will always be your first region.
- 9 am to 10 am – New Bark Town
- 10 am to 11 am – Violet City
- 11 am to 12 pm – National Park
- 12 pm to 1 pm – Goldenrod City
- 1 pm to 2 pm – Mt. Silver
- 2 pm to 3 pm – New Bark Town
- 3 pm to 4 pm – Violet City
- 4 pm to 5 pm – National Park
- 5 pm to 6 pm – Goldenrod City
- 6 pm to 7 pm – Mt. Silver
- 7 pm to 9 pm – All spawn boots will be live
Ticketed players must complete a Collection Challenge for each of the rotating habitats. Even if you don’t have a Go Tour: Johto ticket, you’ll be able to take advantage of the increased Pokémon spawns that each habitat provides.
Pokemon Go Johto Festival Battle Ticket – Free and Paid Features
Thanks to the raids, 7km eggs obtained during the event, and shifting habitats, free-to-play trainers can still obtain as many Gen 2 Pokémon as possible. During the event, any 2km eggs you gather will hatch one of the Gen 2 baby Pokémon, including Pichu, Cleffa, Igglybuff, Togepi, Tyrogue, Smoochum, Elekid, and Magby.
Furthermore, any Lugia or Ho-Oh you catch during Go Tour: Johto will learn a new special attack: Aeroblast for Lugia and Sacred Fire for Ho-Oh. If you obtain them via evolution within event hours, a variety of Pokémon will learn their Community Day attack, which is fantastic if you’ve missed them before.
These Pokémon, as well as their special attacks, are:
- Meganium – Frenzy Plant (Grass-type charged attack)
- Typhlosion – Blast Burn (Fire-type charged attack)
- Feraligatr – Hydro Cannon (Water-type charged attack)
- Ampharos – Dragon Pulse (Dragon-type charged attack)
- Jumpluff – Acrobatics (Flying-type charged attack)
- Espeon – Last Resort (Normal-type charged attack)
- Umbreon – Last Resort (Normal-type charged attack)
- Tyranitar – Smack Down (Rock-type fast attack)
- Mamoswine – Ancient Power (Rock-type charged attack)
Any player with a Trainer Level of 40 or higher will have a chance to get one Rare Candy XL by attending a five-star raid in person, as well as a higher chance of earning the same candy by attending a one-star or three-star raid in person. Finally, during the event, all players, ticketed or not, can perform the two timed research quests and six Special Trades.
If you buy a Go Tour: Johto ticket, though, you can choose between the Gold and Silver versions of the event, complete the Collection Challenges, unlock a new special research quest, and then a new Masterwork quest after that. You’ll also find a free bundle of three Remote Raid passes in the in-game store, and you may win nine extra Raid Passes by spinning Gyms. Finally, ticketed players can take advantage of the extra benefits like as 1/4 hatch distance, double hatch candy, and additional candy from catching special Pokémon.
