In the shop of Pokémon GO you will find a ticket for “Battling!”. This grants you a time-limited research. We will show you the tasks and rewards.
Where can I find the ticket? When you start Pokémon GO and visit the shop, you will find the new battling ticket among the free content, just below the paid boxes. It is completely free and can be easily picked up by you. Keep in mind that the ticket uses a slot in your inventory.
This unlocks a time-limited research that rewards you for winning in Trainer battles.
Time-limited Research “Battling” – Tasks and Rewards
Activate ticket: Just pick up the ticket for free in the shop and it’s activated.
Where can I find the research? In the Today’s overview in Pokémon GO, you will find the section for “BATTLES” directly. You have about three months for the task. As long as the current Alola season in Pokémon GO is active.
What’s included? The complete tasks are not yet known. However, a pattern can be recognized based on which the research is structured.
- Task 1 requires a victory and grants you 1,000 Stardust (500 + 500)
- Task 2 requires two victories and grants you 2,000 Stardust (1,000 + 1,000)
- Task 3 requires four victories and grants you 3,000 Stardust (1,500 + 1,500)
- Task 4 requires eight victories and grants you 4,000 Stardust (2,000 + 2,000)
While the required victories double from task to task, the total earned Stardust increases by 1,000 each time. So, the effort for the victories is not worth it quickly for the earned Stardust.
However, the ticket is free and targets players who want to play PvP anyway. It is nice for a small Stardust boost. But this is not research where one should set the goal to complete it. Because the goal is unknown and the rewards quickly become not worth the effort.
Have you already picked up the ticket and how far have you progressed? Do you like that Niantic offers such free tickets that distribute smaller rewards, or should the tasks in them be different? Write us your opinion here on MeinMMO in the comments.
