Pokemon Go announces Kanto Tour bonus event – 100 Mew Candy, more

Pokemon GO Tour: KantoNiantic / The Pokemon Company

Niantic announced a Pokemon Go Kanto Tour bonus event to compensate players who purchased tickets after a technical issue allowed players to participate in the ticketed portion of the event without one.

Last month, Niantic promised Pokemon Go players who purchased tickets to the Kanto Tour event would be compensated after a technical issue de-valued their tickets. Players could access the ticketed portion of the event without one, which meant they were a waste of money.

Now, they’ve followed through with that promise and announced the Kanto Tour bonus event. However, it’s only available to those who purchased a ticket to the original event. Here’s everything you need to know.
