Everything you need to know about the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event

Niantic announced the full details of the ticketed version of the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event today. Trainers will be able to participate in an event full of beloved Pokémon, new features, bonuses, and a Special Research starting next week on Feb. 20.

First of all, players will have to choose between the Red or Green versions of the experience, each featuring version-exclusive Pokémon.

All of the original 150 Pokémon from Kanto will be spawning in the wild, some with increased spawn encounters depending on the version you pick. They’ll be available as shiny Pokémon, too.

You’ll have a chance to catch new shiny Pokémon that weren’t available in the game before and also earn more Candy for catching Pokémon originally discovered in the region.

The 150 Kanto region Pokémon will appear in the wild, in raids, in encounters after completing research tasks, will be attracted by Incense, or can be obtained by evolution during the event.

The event-exclusive Special Research will reward trainers with a shiny Ditto. But after completing the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto Special Research, trainers will receive a second event-exclusive Special Research line called Masterwork Research to get shiny Mew.

The Masterwork Research can be completed over time after the event is over and contains tasks that include getting a Kanto Platinum Medal, catching 30 Pokémon of each type, spinning 151 unique Poké Stops, reaching level 40, walking 151 kilometers, and more, according to Serebii.

There will also be 10 Collection Challenges during the event available until 8pm local time on Feb. 28. The first five are based on the Pokémon Go features of the event, so Red or Green (catch and trade) depending on which version you chose, raid, evolution, and research. The other five are based on locations from Kanto: Pallet Town, Pewter City, Cerulean City, Fuchsia City, and the Pokémon League, which will all be featured in the spawning schedule.
