Pokémon Go’s “Shared Skies” season is ending, so the game is hosting a “Triumph Together” event to go out with a bang. The event runs from Aug. 23-31 and relies on the different teams (Valor, Instinct, and Mystic) to complete challenges to earn bonuses.
The challenges are as follows:
- Valor: Players need to defeat 75 million Team Go Rocket members to unlock doubled XP from spinning PokéStops, a Team Valor-themed Timed Research set, and the Team Instinct challenge.
- Instinct: Players need to hatch 20 million eggs to unlock a doubled Stardust from hatching eggs, a Team Instinct-themed Timed Research set, and the Team Mystic challenge.
- Mystic: Players need to complete 35 million Field Research Tasks to unlock guaranteed Candy XL when evolving Pokémon and a Team Mystic-themed Timed Research set.
There are also specific bonuses during each challenge. Valor’s challenge has increased Team Go Rocket spawns, Instinct’s challenge has specific Pokémon hatching from 7 km eggs, and Mystic has special Field Research rewards.
Below we list the perks of the “Triumph Together” event that we know of, as well as the event Timed Research. We’ll update this post as players complete the challenges and more information becomes available.
Pokémon Go ‘Triumph Together’ paid Timed Research and rewards
While more Timed Research will get unlocked as players complete challenges, the only one available right now is a paid research for $5. Is the “Triumph Together” paid research worth it? From value alone, yes, as you’ll get incubators and other premium goodies for completing the tasks. If you’re hunting for the team-themed Pokémon (Ponyta, Elekid, and Lapras), then this will also give you them as long as you complete the steps.
