In Pokémon GO you can now choose an edition of the Kanto Tour. We will show you who benefits from red or green and help you decide.
What is it about? On February 20, 2020, the Kanto Tour event starts in Pokémon GO. Many trainers are looking forward to it, because during the event day there will be many shinies to see – even 7 new shiny Pokémon will be added to the game. Those who purchase a ticket can now decide for one of the two event versions. You can choose between the colors red and green.
Are you still undecided about participating? Pokémon GO wants 12 € for the Kanto Tour – Who is it worth buying for?
Choosing event version now possible
How does it work? If you start Pokémon GO now, it is possible to choose an edition.
- Start Pokémon GO
- Open your inventory via the Pokéball
- Scroll down until you find the blue ticket
- Tap the ticket once
- A text window will open, at the end of which you will find two green buttons
- Select the version you want to use
- Confirm that in the next step again
- Now you are ready for the event
Keep in mind that you can only choose the version once. So make sure beforehand which color you decide on.
What differences are there between red and green? The version choice affects which spawns you receive in the wild through the incense module. In addition, the chances of certain shinies increase depending on the choice of edition.
We have created an overview graphic for you, where you can see directly what impact the version choice has for you:

So it mainly depends on which Pokémon you definitely want to catch during the event. Make your selection based on that.
If you are linked with a group in Pokémon and regularly trade Pokémon, it is beneficial if you use both the red and green versions within the group. This way, you can exchange the shinies that others have missed.
Which edition will you choose? In our survey, we want to know which of the two editions you are choosing. Simply vote for red or green. Feel free to write us here on MeinMMO in the comments why you chose the respective version.
In the coming weeks, Pokémon GO will offer several events for your entertainment. Familiar raid bosses will return, spotlight hours await with exciting rewards, and the Valentine’s Day event will spread love in the wild. In the overview of all events in February 2021 in Pokémon GO you will see everything that is coming up.
