A new paid research, “Grow Together,” has made its way into the Pokémon Go shop for $4.99. This research has launched alongside the “Better Together” event, though the research will be available long after the event ends.
You have until Aug. 1 to buy the ticket, and the research itself will be available until Sept. 3 once you buy it.
Below we explain whether or not it’s worth it to buy Pokémon Go’s “Grow Together” research pass, as well as the steps for the Timed Research.
Is the ‘Grow Together’ Premium Timed Research pass worth it?
As of writing this, we only know the first three steps of the research and the rewards that Niantic lists in the shop. We know you get the following:
The total coin value of the items above (that are able to be purchased) is 440 coins. (For reference, $4.99 will net you 550 coins.) For this raw coin value alone, it’s technically not worth it, but the bonus XP, Rare Candies, and guaranteed Tandemaus encounter may make it worth it for some of you.
The first step is already daunting for some, as it requires you to walk 20 km. While you will have plenty of time to walk the 20 km, you will need at least 10 additional days left to spin more PokéStops as later steps for this quest, based on the first three steps.
If you think you won’t be able to walk 20 km with enough time to finish the additional steps before the research goes away on Sept. 3, then you should not buy the pass.
