With a Community Day on the horizon in Pokémon Go, it’s time to consider if you should go the extra mile and grab the upcoming Special Research ticket for the event. For those participating in the Beldum Community Day Classic, should you buy the ticket for the extra items?
It all comes down to how you plan to use the featured Pokémon in terms of whether it will be worthwhile. You can approach it analytically on whether you plan to use its final form against other players in five-star raids or check if it’s your favorite Pokémon. The choice is yours, but you might consider what you get when purchasing the Beldum Community Day Classic ticket in Pokémon Go.
Beldum’s final evolution, Metagross, is considered one of the stronger Pokémon in Pokémon Go. As a Psychic and Steel-type, it’s resistant to multiple attacks and a heavy fighter capable of dishing out a good amount of damage. If you still need a good one to add to your collection, getting the Beldum Community Day Classic ticket is a good idea, especially if you’re hunting for a Shiny version of Metagross.
If you already have a reliable Metagross in your collection and don’t plan to be around during the Community Day Classic event, skipping this ticket is a good idea. It will cost $0.99, although the price may vary based on your region. Despite the low cost of the ticket, it’s a relatively minor event that only occurs for three hours, from 2pm to 5pm in your local time zone on Aug. 18. It’s easy to miss this event.
Still, it does come with a Metagross encounter, a Super Egg Incubator, and at least three Rare Candies as a reward. Moreover, during the event, Metagross can learn the exclusive attack Meteor Mash. If you haven’t done so, this is a must-have attack to teach your Metagross, especially if you participate in Master League competitions.
The main appeal of the Community Day Classic ticket in Pokémon Go is the number of increased encounters you get with the featured Pokémon. Anyone who has already caught a powerful Beldum will find it difficult to beat it unless you get lucky and get one with maxed-out stats—the chances of catching one like that are unlikely, though. For anyone with a strong Metagross who knows Meteor Mash, it might be better to skip purchasing the Community Day Classic event ticket. Feel free to participate in the event, though, to get a better chance to catch a Shiny Beldum.
