Pokemon GO Ticket of Treats Timed Research List

Trainers can participate in something different with the Ticket of Treats timed research event! Instead of having access to all research simultaneously, trainers will have it spread out over time. This is a little different from how events are usually handled, but it is an interesting way to add variety to Pokemon GO events. Each new part of Ticket of Treats will coincide with another aspect of Pokemon GO. So, in a way, you could view this timed research event as a reason to come back to Pokemon GO in October.

Event Date and Time

The Ticket of Treats event will start on Sunday, October 1, 2023, at 12:00 a.m. and run to Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time.

Ticket of Treats Event Details

The Ticket of Treats event is a four-part series, unlocking each new part every Thursday. Each week, an event will pair with the specific timed research. However, trainers can continue the previous week’s research, so there is no need to rush. All four parts will be able to be completed until the event ends.

Tickets can be purchased in the in-game shop until October 29, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time. This gives you two days to complete all of the tasks. Best get in early if you’re eager to participate! The Ticket of Treat ticket will cost $5 USD or the equivalent in local currency.
