Pokémon Go ‘Rogue of the Jungle’ Zarude ticket Special Research

From March 21-25, Pokémon Go has a ticket in the shop to unlock Special Research that rewards Zarude, the mythical monkey Pokémon. For $7.99, you can buy the “Rogue of the Jungle” ticket, which gives a five-step research set that does not expire.

This ticketed research launched alongside the “Verdant Wonders” event.

It can be tough to figure out if it’s worth forking over the money to get this pass, so we break it down and list out all the “Rogue of the Jungle” steps below.

Here’s a quick and dirty list of everything you get for completing the research:

You also get special, boosted Incense spawns in the “Verdant Wonders” event for Pansage, Pansear, Panpour, Zorua, Cutiefly, and Flabébé specifically.

All of that said, you will get your money’s worth in stuff back from the $7.99 pass if you finish it all. There’s no time limit or anything, so you can take your time, too.

I think this pass is specifically worth it if you still need a Zarude (or you want a second one). Zarude is a Mythical Pokémon, meaning it’s only usually available from special distribution events that go away after a certain period of time. That said, this means Zarude is particularly valuable on the trading market — even more so with the Pokémon Go seal on it, since that little emblem is unable to be generated by cheating sources (as of this writing, at least).
