All ticket-exclusive perks for Pokemon GO's City Safari event

Event-exclusive Timed Research

The biggest perks of purchasing a ticket to the event are the two Timed Research tracks it unlocks. The first will unlock three different paths for you to choose. Of these, one gives you three Incenses, one gives three Star Pieces, and one gives three Lucky Eggs.

Additionally, you also get one Mossy and one Rainy Lure Module each, alongside 2023 Stardust and 30 Eevee Candy.

The other Timed Research track requires you to spin PokeStops at Eevee Explorer locations that you haven't visited before. For every unique location you visit, you get one Explorer Eevee as a reward. Completing the entire track gives you another one of these costumed critters as well as 25 Eevee Candy and one Lure Module.
