Winter Holiday Part One has officially begun in Pokémon GO, which means it’s time for plenty of icy rewards. Instead of some Special Research this time around, Trainers can get their hands on some Timed Research challenges tied to a new ticket.
To participate in the research, you’ll have to shell out $5 for the Winter Holiday event ticket that can be found in the shop. Without the ticket, you won’t get the research challenges in the event, but you can still catch all of the themed Pokémon in the wild. If you choose to buy the ticket, you can read below to see all of the Timed Research challenges and their rewards in Pokémon GO.

- Walk 2km – Snover Encounter
