Pokémon Go Expands Beginner Roster with Priced Grow Together Ticket

Pokémon Go introduces a new "Grow Together" ticket, offering players an XP boost. Priced at $4.99, this limited-time ticket (available July 17th, 10:00 a.m. to September 3rd, 10:00 a.m. local time) provides 5x XP for the first daily PokéStop spin and includes a Premium Timed Research project.

This research project unlocks premium items and encounters with Pokémon possessing unique evolution prerequisites. Gifting options are available for Great Friends and above. Online PokéStore purchases receive two bonus eggs.

Is it worthwhile? The inability to purchase the ticket using PokéCoins might be a deterrent for some. However, the ticket offers a convenient method for rapid leveling and content access. Ultimately, the value proposition depends on individual player engagement with Pokémon Go.
