All Pokémon Go Verdant Wonders: Rogue of the Jungle Zarude Special Research tasks, rewards, and Collection Challenge

The Pokémon Go Verdant Wonders event is built on Pokémon you’d find in a forest appearing and the ability to catch the Mythical Pokémon Zarude. Some of that is tied to an $8 event ticket with exclusive gameplay bonuses, which includes the Rogue of the Jungle Special Research.

Running from March 21 to 25 at 8pm local time, Verdant Wonders will almost entirely center around that $7.99 event ticket and its offered bonuses. Purchasing said ticket is the only way to get Zarude as it appears for the first time in over two years in Pokémon Go—as it is the main focus of the Rogue of the Jungle Special Research. But that isn’t all you get with that ticket; you’ll also see more rare Pokémon spawning when you use Incense.

All five pages of the Rogue of the Jungle Special Research are locked behind the $7.99 event ticket of the same name. It will only be available to purchase until March 25 at 8pm local time when the Verdant Wonders event ends. It can be completed at any point after you claim it.
