Pokémon Go Verdant Wonders event guide: All bonuses, boosted encounters, and paid content

Pokémon Go‘s Verdant Wonders event has arrived, giving players a second chance to catch Zarude. It’s a Mythical Pokémon that doesn’t appear too often, and if you’re willing to purchase the paid Timed Research ticket, it could be yours.

Although Zarude is the event’s primary focus, there are several free items you can grab and multiple Pokémon spawning, too. You can catch these Pokémon for a limited time, and we’ve broken down every bonus and boosted Pokémon encounter you get during this Pokémon Go event. We also want to point out every piece of paid content to give you a better idea of whether it’s worth grabbing the Rogue of the Jungle paid research.
