Come one, come all, and experience an October of delights with Pokémon GO’s Ticket of Treats!

Trainers,

Starting October 2023, Trainers will be able to purchase the Ticket of Treats, which grants spook-tacular Timed Research opportunities throughout the month. With the Ticket of Treats, a new Timed Research will unlock each Thursday in October, and you will have until the end of the month to complete them all. Each Timed Research will give you an opportunity to earn premium items and event-themed encounters to prepare for in-game events!

While each week’s Timed Research is paired with a specific event, you’re free to complete the Timed Research tasks and claim their rewards at any point until October 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time.

Trainers may purchase the Ticket of Treats until October 29, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time, but purchasing it earlier will give you more opportunities to take advantage of the additional bonuses included in the Ticket of Treats!

Treat yourself to an October of adventure. Let’s GO!
