Pokemon GO's biggest ticket event of the season, Tour Kanto, is just over a week away and trainers are already getting excited for the festivities. The day long event offers an incredible list of bonuses and is going to give players a chance to revisit the first generation of Pokemon and secure some exciting exclusive moves and chase down some shiny spawns while they are at it.
Throughout the Tour event, there will be bonuses and increased spawns that are live in Pokemon GO for all players, but trainers who spend some real world dollars and cents on a ticket will secure a long list of extra bonuses, as well. Since some of those extra bonuses are tied to increased shiny spawns, it seems like a safe bet that tickets are going to sell very well this time around.

Players who are willing to spend some money on a ticket will have a choice to make. Each player can select between a Green or Red version of the event, which will impact some of the shiny odds they experience throughout the day.
