Should you buy Pokemon GO’s Powerful Potential Special Research ticket? Explore its benefits, free event perks, and whether it’s worth $8.
Big events in Pokemon GO often bring new Pokemon, features, and opportunities. The upcoming Might and Mastery’s Powerful Potential event is no exception. Running from March 5 to March 10, 2025, this event introduces Kubfu to the game for the first time. Alongside that, Shiny Charcadet becomes available in Eggs, and Max Battles make a return.
With all of this, Niantic is offering a paid Special Research ticket called Fuzzy Fighter for $8. The main question is whether this ticket is worth getting. Let’s take a closer look.
What You Can Get for Free
Before looking at the paid option, it’s good to see what’s already available without spending money.
- Kubfu encounter – Every player gets access to a free Special Research, which includes an encounter with Kubfu.
- Shiny Charcadet in Eggs – Those willing to hatch Eggs have a chance to get this new Shiny Pokemon.
- Event Bonuses – Reduced Egg Hatch Distances make it easier to hatch Pokemon quickly.
- Max Battles – Gigantamax Charizard, Blastoise, and Venusaur are returning for a limited time.
These bonuses ensure that everyone can participate in key parts of the event.
What the Paid Ticket Offers
For those who buy the Fuzzy Fighter ticket, these are the extra benefits:
- A second encounter with Dynamax Kubfu
- One Incense for attracting more Pokemon
- Two Premium Battle Passes for raids
- One Star Piece to increase Stardust gain
- Extra encounters with seasonal Pokemon
- Additional rewards that have not been revealed yet
The main attraction here is another chance at getting Dynamax Kubfu, along with raid passes and other resources.
Should You Buy the Ticket?
The answer depends on what you want from the event.
- Worth it if you want multiple Kubfu – This is currently the only way to get another one without using Rare Candy.
- Good for raiders – Two Premium Battle Passes already make up a part of the ticket’s value.
- Not necessary for casual players – The free Special Research still gives you Kubfu, which may be enough.
- Not ideal for Shiny hunters – The ticket does not boost the odds of getting a Shiny Kubfu or Charcadet.
For those who enjoy collecting rare Pokemon and maximizing event rewards, this ticket could be a solid choice. However, skipping it won’t take away the chance to enjoy the main parts of the event.
