Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global ticket holders will receive one Timed Research task each hour during the event that awards additional GO Safari Balls. These tasks will expire one hour after they are issued, so all rewards must be claimed before then!

For US$2.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you’ll receive event-exclusive hourly Timed Research*.

Trainers who purchase the GO Safari Ball: Extra Access ticket, available exclusively on the webstore, will receive one Timed Research task each hour during the event that awards four additional GO Safari Balls. These tasks will expire one hour after they are issued, so all rewards must be claimed before then!
