PoGO – Pokémon Go: Kanto Tour – all research & more – Guide

The Kanto Tour is being held in Pokémon Go to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Pokémon series – and on top of that, Pokémon Go itself is also five years old this year. The event for buyers and non-buyers of the Kanto Tour Ticket will take place on February 20, 2021, and we have all the important information for you about Masterpiece Research, Special Research, Limited Research, Collector Challenges, and more in our guide.

In 2021, The Pokémon Company will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Pokémon, and the developers of Pokémon Go can also rejoice. After all, the passionate Pokémon Go community has been bringing in a lot of money – and has been doing so for five years this year. Reason enough to give something back to the community. The Kanto Tour 2021 on February 20, 2021 has all kinds of interesting bonuses and activities up its sleeve, both for the paying trainers and for the players who don’t treat themselves to the Kanto event ticket.

The ticket for Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto costs just under 13 euros and can be purchased until February 20, 2021 at 7:00 pm. In our guide to the Kanto Tour, we go into the free content and then the paid content. The Kanto event itself starts at 09:00 on February 20 and ends at 21:00 on the same day.

Update from February 20, 2021: We have added all steps and rewards for the Temporary Research and Special Research. Only the first step of the Masterpiece research is known so far; we have also added the information to the guide.

Update from February 22, 2021: The second step of the Masterpiece research for Shiny Mew is known. We have added the tasks for you in the guide.

Update March 22, 2021: With the latest adjustment to the masterpiece research “All in one … No.151”, for which you no longer have to turn 151 different PokéStops, but 151 PokéStops (so also multiple times), we have added all the steps and rewards for the Shiny Mew special research.

Pokémon Go: Kanto collector challenges

In Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto, you can expect ten collectible challenges, as available until February 28, 2021 at 7:59pm! Half of this collection is based on how you search for and collect Pokémon during the event. This also depends on whether you choose the Red Edition or the Green Edition of the Kanto Tour, because then, for example, different pocket monsters appear attracted by the smoke. So some of them you’ll have to get by bartering. Hatched Pokémon and Redeemed Pokémon do NOT count towards the Collector Challenges.

  • Red (Swap) or Red (Smoke)
  • Green (Swap) or Green (Smoke)
  • Raid Battles
  • Research
  • Development

The challenges, which are not affected by your choice of edition, are inspired by from the games, i.e. Alabastia, Marmoria City, Azuria City, Fuchsania City, and the Pokémon . The event day is divided into blocks of hours, during which the Pokémon of the corresponding collector challenge appear in the wild. Then, in the last two hours of the Kanto Tour, all the Pokémon from the previous hours will appear. The schedule is as follows:

  • 9 a.m. to 10 a.m.: Alabastia
  • 10 a.m. to 11 a.m.: Marmoria City
  • 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.: Azuria City

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from .gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
