Pokémon Go debuts new Grow Together ticket to give new players a boost, for a price

Pokémon Go introduces a new "Grow Together" ticket to accelerate player progression. Priced at $4.99, this limited-time ticket (available July 17th, 10:00 a.m. to September 3rd, 10:00 a.m. local time) offers a significant XP boost.

The ticket provides 5x XP for the first daily PokéStop spin and includes a Premium Timed Research task. This research unlocks premium items and encounters with Pokémon possessing unique evolution criteria. Gifting is possible to friends with Great Friend status or higher, and online PokéStore purchases include two bonus eggs.

Is it worthwhile? The inability to purchase the ticket with PokéCoins and the pay-to-progress aspect might be off-putting for some. However, it offers a convenient method for rapid leveling and content access. The ticket's value ultimately depends on individual player dedication to Pokémon Go.
