Is the Pokemon GO Psychic Spectacular 2024 ticket worth it?
Pokemon GO's latest Psychic Spectacular event will take place on September 18-22, 2024, and like many events, offers trainers a ticket to participate in the event's Special Timed Research. The Psychic Spectacular's ticket this year costs $2 (or equivalent) and provides a collection of items and bonuses to enjoy until the event ends, but is it worth the price? For $2, the answer seems to be yes.
For a very small asking price, Pokemon GO players will receive quite a few goodies that aren't always cheap in their PokeCoin price. Moreover, they'll enjoy additional encounters with the Psychic Spectacular's featured Pocket Monsters, so it's worth examining the benefits of this Special Timed Research ticket and why it's a solid value for just $2.

Why the Pokemon GO Psychic Spectacular 2024 Special Timed Research ticket is worth the price
According to the official announcement for the Psychic Spectacular 2024 event, the Special Timed Research ticket will provide the following items and benefits as the research is completed:
- One Incubator
- One Super Incubator
- One Star Piece
- 15,000 XP
- Encounters with both Morelull and Hatenna
Considering two US dollars used for this ticket provides a free 15,000 trainer experience along with an Incubator, a Super Incubator, and a Star Piece, it doesn't matter much if trainers aren't excited about catching Morelull and Hatenna. These items and experience points are a pretty good boost for trainers to utilize for $2, even if they don't want to use their items during Psychic Spectacular.
Buying the items outlined above in the Pokemon GO shop can get pretty pricey, and while one of each item for purchasing the Special Timed Research ticket might not seem like much, those singular items can come in pretty handy as long as trainers are willing to complete their research questline before the Psychic Spectacular event comes to a close.
Moreover, for trainers who are eager to fill up their Pokedexes or find new allies in battle, this event is the first time trainers will have the opportunity to catch Hatenna and evolve it into Hattrem and Hatterene, pushing their Pokedexes a little closer to completion. The bonus Hatenna spawns afforded by this Special Timed Research can go a long way toward finding a high-IV Hatenna quickly.
All in all, even if the full slate of research isn't completed, $2 or the equivalent in a player's country is hardly a massive cost. Compared to other tickets sold during events, the price is quite cheap and the benefits aren't too bad.
