The event will be here before you know it!
Earlier this month, Niantic, the developer of Pokemon Go, announced a new Special Research event that’s coming to Pokemon Go, which is themed after Galarian Mr. Mime.
This event will run from December 18 at 10 a.m. local time until December 21 at 8 p.m. local time. While some of the event’s content will be available to all trainers for free, a portion of the event will be locked behind an optional, premium ticket that players can purchase for $7.99. (To learn more about this event, check out our previous coverage.)
When this event was first announced, tickets weren’t yet available to purchase. However, these tickets are now available in the game’s store.
Here’s how to get a ticket for the Galarian Mr. Mime Event in Pokemon Go!
Open Pokemon Go and tap the Poke Ball at the bottom of the screen.
Tap “Shop.”
Scroll down to the Global Events section and tap the Galarian Mr. Mime Event Ticket.
Now tap “Buy” to complete the purchase on your device.
Remember, these tickets must be purchased using a real money transaction. They can’t be purchased using PokeCoins. In addition, once you purchase a ticket, you’ll need to login to Pokemon Go at some point between December 19 at 10 a.m. local time and December 20 at 8 p.m. local time to access all of the event’s content.
