The Pokemon GO Out to Play event has added some new paid Research that players can buy – but is the Tails of Adventure: Paid Timed Research worth buying?
While most Research in Pokemon GO is free, some are only obtainable by purchasing it in the in-game shop. Tails of Adventure is the latest Research that is only available to paying players.
This Paid Research is available for $2 (or local currency equivalent) during the Out to Play event, which begins at 10 AM local time on September 27, 2023.
However, is the Tails of Adventure Timed Research good value?
Is The Tails of Adventure: Paid Timed Research Worth Buying in Pokemon GO?
Yes, the Tails of Adventure Paid Timed Research is worth buying if you want to get some more Incubators, or if you are searching for the brand-new shiny version of Hisuian Growlithe.
This is because the rewards for the Tails of Adventure Timed Research are:
- 6 Hisuian Growlithe Encounters
- 5 Growlithe Encounters
- 2 Incubators
- 1 Super Incubator
Even if you don’t care about the Growlithe and Hisuian Growlithe encounters, this Research is still good value. In fact, it is worth the $2 price tag for the Incubators alone!
However, to get the full value of the Tails of Adventure Timed Research in Pokemon GO, you need to ensure that you walk 5km to complete every Task by 8 PM on October 2, 2023. This is when the Research expires.
Alternatively, if you already have plenty of Incubators and have no interest in shiny Hisuian Growlithe, feel free to skip this Research. The Out to Play event still has free Timed Research and loads of new Field Research Tasks to complete!
