Pokémon Go debuts new Grow Together ticket to give new players a boost, for a price

Pokémon Go introduces a new "Grow Together" ticket to accelerate player progress. Priced at $4.99, this limited-time ticket (available July 17th to September 3rd, 2024) offers a significant XP boost.

This boost provides 5x XP for the first daily PokéStop spin and includes a Premium Timed Research project. This research unlocks premium items and encounters with Pokémon possessing unique evolution criteria. The ticket is giftable to Great Friends and higher, with online PokéStore purchases receiving two bonus eggs.

Is it worth the cost? The ticket's non-PokéCoin purchase and pay-to-progress nature might be off-putting to some. However, for dedicated players, it offers a convenient path to rapid leveling and access to exclusive content. The value ultimately depends on individual player commitment to the game.
