Pokemon GO Tour Johto is full of things like Collection Challenges and Timed Researches, but it also has an exclusive Special Research that includes some fantastic rewards.
Not only is this Special Research exclusive to the event, but also exclusive to those who purchased the event ticket for $11.99.
Unlike the Timed Research available during the event, the GO Tour Johto Special Research only needs to be obtained during the 12 hour event on Saturday, February 26 between 9:00 am local time and 9:00 pm local time and can be completed at anytime in the future, even though that is not recommended for reasons we will discuss further below.
Picking Your Starter
One of the very first things you do inPokemon GOwhen you first start playing is picking your starter, even though it really isn’t all that relevant to the ongoing play of the game.
Considering we never got that option with the Gen II starters of Chikorita, Cyndaquil, and Totodile, Pokemon GO Tour Johto is giving players a chance to pick between the three as part of the Special Resesearch for the event.
Overall, there is really not a specific starter you would be better off picking for the itself itself, as really doesn’t matter.
In the long run however, Chikorita and it’s eventual evolution into Meganium will be the better option when it comes to Pokemon GO Battle League. However, there have been no real shortage of these Pokemon in the games over the years, especially Chikorita, so feel free to just choose your favorite if you won’t without worry of it mattering too much.
GO Tour Johto Special Research Tasks and Rewards
While not quite as many steps as the Johto Battle Challenge Timed Research, the GO Tour Johto Special Research is made up of nine steps for you to complete.
As mentioned above, you have to pick a starter as part of this Special Research and that starter chosen will depend on what type of encounter and Candy you receive, which will be reflected below.
There is also a different in the type or Candy you receive in other areas depending on if you selecting the Gold or Silver ticket too, which will also be shown in the tasks below as provided byLeek Duck.
That concludes all of the tasks for the Pokemon GO Tour Johto exclusive Special Research. As mentioned above, you do not have to complete this Special Research during the event, but you will want to if you want to complete the Special Collection Challenge for the event.
