This is a premium (and optional) part of August's Community Day event.
Trainers, Pokemon Go Community Day for August 2021 is set to take place on August 14 and August 15 with Eevee as the featured Pokemon.
As part of this two-day event, players have the option to spend $0.99 on a ticket that will give them access to a Special Research storyline called “What You Choose to Be.” Players aren’t required to purchase this ticket to participate in the Pokemon Go Community Day festivities. The ticket is simply there for players who are comfortable spending real money to receive extra in-game content.
Here’s how to get a “What You Choose to Be” ticket in Pokemon Go!
Open Pokemon Go and tap the Poke Ball at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the “Shop” icon.
Scroll down to the “Global Events” section and tap the “What You Choose to Be” ticket.
Now, tap the “Buy” button to finish the purchase on your device.
Remember, if you want to purchase a ticket for this Special Research storyline, it can only be purchased with a real money transaction. That is, these tickets can’t be purchased with PokeCoins. Plus, keep in mind that if you purchase a ticket, you’ll need to open Pokemon Go at some point between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. local time on either August 14 or August 15 to actually receive the Special Research.
