Pokémon GO brings 2 new Pokémon to the Mysterious Blade event, but only one with a ticket

In Pokémon GO, the event “Mysterious Blade” starts on Tuesday. This is where Keldeo and Krabbox appear for the first time in the game. But only those who buy a ticket for 8 dollars get to see both.

What is this event? At this event, Pokémon GO wants to unlock two new Pokémon for you in the game. Keldeo, the Mythical Pokémon from Generation 5, and Krabbox, from Generation 7. Although you can easily encounter Krabbox in the wild, Keldeo hides behind a special research that you can only unlock with a paid ticket.

Here we show you all the details about the upcoming event “Mysterious Blade”.

The Special Research “Something Extraordinary”

What is that? This Special Research will not unlock for all Trainers. You can only get them if you buy the matching ticket for 8 dollars. Tickets will be available in the Pokémon GO Store starting December 6 at 10:00 a.m. local time and will remain available until December 11 at 8:00 p.m.

Trainers who have purchased a ticket can participate in Special Research during the Mysterious Blade event. To do this, you must open Pokémon GO once between Saturday (December 10 at 10:00 a.m.) and Sunday (December 11 at 8:00 p.m.) to activate the research.

You can then complete the research at any time. The only important thing is that you activate it in the time window.

What’s the point? With the ticket you unlock the special research that gives you a Keldeo in the standard form. Research also gives you:

• Keldeo t-shirt for your avatar
• 14 special candies
• 12 Silver Pineapple Berries
• 2 incubators
• 2 Super Incubators
• 2 smoke
• Encounters with various Fighting-type Pokémon and Water-type Pokémon
• and more content.

There is also an increased effectiveness of smoke if you ignite it during the event. (Note that the daily smoke is excluded from these bonuses).

• Machollo*, Kicklee*, Nockchan*, Kapoera*, Tanhel* Sonic Quap* and Kastadur*

How do you like the outlook for the upcoming battle event? Are you going to pay for the research to get Keldeo or are you waiting for the new Pokemon to become free at some point?
