Important news is coming to Pokémon GO, and it's going to be news that not everyone will like. If it is already difficult for you to complete your pokédex due to the schedules and limitations when presenting some of these Pokémon, now, in addition, you will have to pay for it. And it is that a new type of event is coming to Pokémon GO, limited by price, with exclusive tasks and with a Pokémon Colosal
We are talking about Regigigas, the Colossal Pokémon introduced in the fourth generation of this franchise.That is, with the Pokémon Diamond, Pearl and Platinum. He is related to the rest of the Regis colossi: Regirock, Regice and Registeel. In fact, he carries in his body the elements of these: rock, ice and metal. It is a normal type Pokémon with great physical strength as its main characteristic. And now it comes to Pokémon GO through paid EX raids. Quite a novelty in this game.
When and where to catch it
The interesting thing about this new paid event in Pokémon GO is that it is not limited to a physical environment That is, there is no place to go to get Regigigas. It will be global, related to raids and therefore Pokémon gyms, but without having to travel from your town to a specific point. The limitation is more temporary.
And it can only be captured the next day 2 November. Specifically, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.00 pm More than enough time to participate in several of these EX raids where Regigigas will appear. Of course, you better coordinate with other Pokémon trainers if you want to have any real capture options.
How to buy tickets
The key to this new type of event is that it will be paid for. Something that limits it and monetizes it above the rest of events of this type. And it is that, until now, Pokémon GO had only charged for physical events, in specific places with all kinds of content, such as the Pokémon GO Fest. Now bring monetization to Special Raid Battles to earn exclusive Pokémon.
The idea is to buy a ticket that unlocks a special investigation called A Colossal Discovery. In other words, you will pay to have access to a series of tasks to perform in order to face Regigigas in advance.If you don't buy this ticket you won't be able to see this investigation with Professor Willow
Of course, you have to be attentive to the information on the official Pokémon social networks to find out when you can buy tickets. At the moment they are not available, but it is known that they can be purchased until the day of the event, November 2, at 5:00 p.m. Just enough to give yourself a couple of hours to reach some EX raid and get hold of the Colossal Pokémon
The price of these tickets is also known. They are 7.99 dollars, and Niantic, creators of Pokémon GO, specify that the price will be the same for all users, although adapted to each currency. So it is to be expected that you will have to pay 8 euros for this special pass to unlock the new tasks and the encounter with Regigigas.
Steps to buy the ticket:
- To get the pass, when it is available, you will have to go to the Pokémon GO store.
- Then click on the more information section of the banner or special announcement of the event.
- Here you will have to click on the option Buy, to manage the purchase. This will bring up the ticket purchase message for the A Colossal Discovery investigation. The pass will be visible in your item bag.
- Before the event, you will receive a badge as a gift and badge for participating in the event. If you open Pokémon GO during the event period, from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. on November 2, you will see a notification of a new pending investigation called A Colossal Discovery.And you will be able to participate in their tasks.
Please note that this purchase is non-refundable at any time. Even if you do not participate in the event you will not be able to request a refund. The good thing is that you can keep the extra items, although if you don't unlock the event you won't have the option to complete it later.
Extra content of the special pass
But beware, Niantic doesn't just want you to pay 8 euros for the opportunity to capture Regigigas. It also offers other extra content to make the outlay a bit more worthwhile. That is why, when you purchase the pass, you will receive the aforementioned exclusive badge indicating that you have participated in it. But there are more items in your bag once this event arrives.
You will receive up to 10 free Raid Passes to participate in the Regigigas capture all these times, if you need them.You will never have more than one in your possession, but you can get a new one up to a total of 10 just by spinning a PokéStop. Of course, the rest of the free extra raid passes will disappear once the event ends.
You'll also get evolutionary items like a Sinnoh Stone, a Unova Stone, and also an exclusive avatar pose for your character. So the pack is loaded with content, although it is up to each player to assess it as something complete or just an excuse to extract money from the managers.
A Massive Discovery
There are several details you should know about this special paid event in Pokémon GO. In the first place, even though it has a finite period, you will be able to complete the investigation beyond 7:00 p.m. on November 2 And this period is only the unlock reference.
Please note that you will need to participate with other Trainers to complete this Special Research. And it is that Niantic has already confirmed that one of the tasks will be to get together and capture the rest of Regis. That is, participate in five-star raids to get Regirock, Regice and Registeel So you better get together with more people during these hours to have a real chance .
More ways to get Regigigas
If all this payment event has scared you, don't despair. Niantic will bring Regigigas back to the game Of course, it will be next December, and it will do so through legendary raids. So be patient if you don't want to shell out the 8 euros for the special pass for this event.
