Pokemon Go Primal Rumblings Special Research event ticket reward explained

Once you’ve completed both steps of this Primal Rumblings Special Research quest, the main reward you’ll be given is an event ticket for the global Pokemon Go Tour: Hoenn event on February 25-26.

With this ticket, you’ll be given access to all of the bonuses that run during the global event. We’re not sure what these are yet, but they will likely be things like 1/2 Egg Hatch distance or boosted Incense duration.

You’ll also be able to choose a Ruby Badge or Sapphire Badge, which is essentially your chance to decide which team you’ll be on – Team Ruby or Team Sapphire.

Every hour during Pokemon Go Tour Hoenn, the team that completes the most Field Research tasks will influence wild spawns and whether Primal Groudon (Ruby) or Primal Groudon (Sapphire) will appear in Raids.
