In the past, Ticketed Events have awarded the Legendary Pokémon Regigigas, the Mythical Pokémon Genesect, or access to special remote events such as Safari Zones and GO Fest, which offered major bonuses and a Shiny boost to wild spawns. This is the first time that Niantic has put a price tag on a Special Research that seems to offer the same or less than what other free Special Researches have already offered in Pokémon GO.
