Pokémon GO's New "Grow Together" Ticket Helps New Trainers

Pokémon Go is getting a new growth ticket to give players a boost
It'll cost $4.99 and provide bonus xp at PokéStops and more rewards
Good enough? We'll have to wait and see

Niantic's hit AR creature-catching game, based on the massive international franchise, Pokémon Go is getting a new way for players to boost forward with the Grow Together Ticket. This ticket lets you get increased XP to catch up with the pack during the latest season, Shared Skies. But it'll cost you.
The new Grow Together Ticket will be available from Wednesday, July 17, at 10:00 a.m. to Tuesday, September 3, 2024, at 10:00 a.m. local time and cost $4.99. In return, you'll get 5x XP from your first PokéStop spin of the day until the end of the season, and a Premium Timed Research project.
The latter will reward you with premium items and encounters with Pokémon that themselves have special evolution requirements. Naturally, you'll also be able to purchase tickets to gift to certain friends (those of Great Friends or higher) and players who purchase through the online PokéStore will receive two bonus eggs.

Worth it?
The fact that you can't use PokéCoins to buy the new ticket, and the notion of paying for a boost like this is sure to irk some people. However, for others, this could be a fairly easy and convenient way to level up quickly and access some of the available content. Like anything, it'll depend on your level of enthusiasm for Pokémon Go to decide whether or not this ticket is worthwhile.
