Is this worth your $4.99?
The Pokémon World Championship is underway, and so is the coinciding event in Pokémon GO. This event includes a new costume Pikachu, a shiny debut and a GO Battle Week event. Alongside this, there is a $4.99 ticket that grants you the Pokémon GO Worlds Premium Timed Research.

But, what are the tasks and rewards in that Premium Timed Research, and ultimately is it worth the $4.99 price tag?

Is it worth the $4.99?
This Premium Timed Research is a bit of a unique one in Pokémon GO. There are a lot of Pokémon encounters, all chosen for being highly popular in Pokémon GO PvP this season.
However, for lower PvP leagues you actually need worse IVs than you will get from these encounters. Usually most Pokémon need a low attack IV, then high HP and Defence IV’s. These encounters will have a floor of 10/10/10. Some Pokémon however, like Carbink, are better with higher IVs.

With that said, one of the Pokémon GO PvP competitions in rotation right now is theCatch Cup.That PvP cup only allows Pokémon that have been caught this season to be used. That, combined with the 25,000 Stardust and Cresselia encounter probably does make this ticket worth it.
