Trainers who purchase a Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global ticket by October 22—and play Pokémon GO between October 15 and October 22—will receive Timed Research that awards early access to a themed avatar item, the Toxel Mask.

Adventure Effects
Adventure Effects are temporary bonuses to help you on your Pokémon GO adventure, activated by powerful Pokémon attacks that may be used outside of battle. Adventure Effects have been reported to occur when Origin Forme Dialga uses Roar of Time, and when Origin Forme Palkia uses Spacial Rend.
Adventure Effect: Roar of Time
Trainers who encounter and defeat Origin Forme Dialga in a Raid Battle have a chance to catch one that knows the Charged Attack Roar of Time.*
Trainers can activate the Adventure Effect associated with Roar of Time by using 5,000 Stardust and 5 Dialga Candy, distorting time for 6 minutes and pausing the timer of the following items: Incense, Daily Adventure Incense, Lucky Eggs, and Star Pieces.
You can extend the timer for Roar of Time’s Adventure Effect in increments of 6 minutes by using more Stardust and Dialga Candy. The timer can be extended up to two hours each time you tap Use, and you can tap Use again to add additional time—up to 24 hours total!
Once Roar of Time ends, the timer on any active items will continue to count down. Roar of Time cannot be active at the same time as any other Adventure Effect.
Adventure Effect: Spacial Rend
Trainers who encounter and defeat Origin Forme Palkia in a Raid Battle have a chance to catch one that knows the Charged Attack Spacial Rend.*
Trainers can activate the Adventure Effect associated with Spacial Rend by using 5,000 Stardust and 5 Palkia Candy, distorting space for 10 minutes and allowing for encounters with wild Pokémon at an increased distance.
You can extend the timer for Spacial Rend’s Adventure Effect in increments of 10 minutes by using more Stardust and Palkia Candy. The timer can be extended up to two hours each time you tap Use, and you can tap Use again to add additional time—up to 24 hours total!
Once Spacial Rend ends, Trainers will only encounter wild Pokémon within normal distance limits. Spacial Rend cannot be active at the same time as any other Adventure Effect.
*At this time, Origin Forme Dialga will be unable to learn Roar of Time via any TM.
*At this time, Origin Forme Palkia will be unable to learn Spacial Rend via any TM.
