Ticket-holder exclusives
On Saturday, June 4, 2022, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. local time, Pokémon GO Fest 2022 ticket holders will be able to enjoy the following features!
This year’s event is all about Shaymin, the Gratitude Pokémon! Trainers will be tasked with conducting Special Research to learn more about this Mythical Pokémon and will encounter Land Forme Shaymin along the way. Other rewards will include an event-exclusive avatar item and a special avatar pose.
Trainers will be faced with two important decisions while conducting their Special Research. Please note: it won’t be possible to change your selections, so be sure to make your choices carefully!
Personalize your event experience! Choose between Relaxed, Standard, and Master difficulty levels for your Special Research. The difficulty level you select will affect which sticker you receive as a reward, but will otherwise not change your Special Research rewards.
How do you like to play Pokémon GO? Select the gameplay focus you’d prefer—either Catch, Explore, or Battle—and certain Special Research tasks will change accordingly.
In addition to the Pokémon featured during each habitat hour, the following Pokémon will be attracted to Incense if you have an event ticket.
For the first time in Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to encounter Shiny Unown B—if you’re lucky!

If they succeed, they’ll earn a bonus for the remainder of the hour! You can check the Today View to keep track of global progress and the contributions of your friends.
During event hours, you’ll have an increased chance of encountering Shiny Pokémon in the wild when using Incense! Your chances will be better on Saturday than on Sunday.
