Pokémon Go is hosting an “Ultra Space Wonders” event to wrap up the “World of Wonders” season, which will end in June. The event runs from May 23-28 and it features the debut of the Ultra Beasts Stakataka and Blacephalon.

The event also boosts the spawn of poison-type Pokémon, adds the last leg of the “World of Wonders” Special Research, and rewards doubled XP for winning raids against Ultra Beasts. Mareanie is also available shiny for the first time ever.

This is a paid research for $5. Once you buy it, you’ll only have until May 28 at 8 p.m. in your local time to complete it.

The value of the “Ultra Space Wonders” paid research ticket is technically worth it, but I would only buy this if you are really hunting for shiny Mareanie or if you want the Naganadel Wings cosmetic.

Rewards: 4 Premium Battle Passes, Mareanie encounter, Naganadel Wings cosmetic

There are a few Collection Challenges to complete that involve you catching and evolving specific Pokémon.
