Pokémon Go debuts new Grow Together ticket to give new players a boost, for a price

Pokémon Go introduces a new "Grow Together" ticket to accelerate player progress. Priced at $4.99, this limited-time ticket offers significant XP boosts and additional rewards.

Available from July 17th, 10:00 a.m. to September 3rd, 10:00 a.m. (local time), the ticket provides 5x XP for the first daily PokéStop spin and includes a Premium Timed Research task. This research unlocks premium items and encounters with Pokémon possessing unique evolution criteria. Gifting is also possible to Great Friends and above. Online PokéStore purchases receive two bonus eggs.

Is it worthwhile?

The ticket's exclusive purchase via real currency (no PokéCoins) might be a deterrent for some. However, it offers a streamlined method for rapid leveling and content access. The ultimate value depends on individual player dedication and enjoyment of the game.
