In Pokémon GO you can buy a ticket for $5, which will bring you an outfit in the style of Professor Willow. You’ll also get an encounter with Melmetal, which knows the Panzerfaust attack. Is it even worth it?
What is this research? A new ticket will be available for purchase in the shop from March 1st at 10:00 a.m. local time. It costs $4.99 and unlocks a Timed Research. The ticket remains in the shop until June 1st at 10:00 a.m. So it’s obtainable during the new Rising Heroes season.
What is special about research is that it only has one chapter with 6 tasks and these can be completed quickly. As a reward, you can edit your avatar’s appearance with new clothing and receive a Melmetal that knows the new attack Bazooka. Here we show you the research and what the trainers advise.
Willow’s Wardrobe 1/1
Reward: If you successfully complete all 6 tasks and collect the respective rewards, you will receive an additional 809 experience points, 809 stardust and an encounter with Melmetal, who knows the charged attack Bazooka.
Before you buy: is it worth it?
What the trainers say: The ticket is being discussed diligently in the community (via reddit). At its core, it boils down to the statement: wait to buy. In the future, Melmetal will also be able to learn the special attack Panzerfaust outside of this research with a top TM.
It is unclear when this point will be reached in the future. However, there are already event leaks for the coming weeks. One of them talks about how the event, which starts on March 21st, will bring Melmetal with the bazooka attack. Note that this leak is unconfirmed. You can still wait that long to buy the ticket. If there is no Melmetal at the event, interested players can still buy the ticket.
So make your purchasing decision more dependent on whether you’re interested in Professor Willow-style clothing.
