Due to an issue that allowed non-paying players access to the paid features of the Go Tour: Kanto event, Niantic announced that players who paid to take part in the event would be given compensation at a later date. That later date is today, as we now have details as to what this will entail.
Kanto Tour Compensation
Compensation will be distributed to players in the form of a new special research line exclusive to players that purchased their tickets.
| Research Start | Research End |
|---|---|
| March 5 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time | April 5, 2021, at 10:00 a.m. local time |
This research line will grant the player a rather impressive set of items, which have also been revealed by Niantic:
- 30 Ultra Balls
- 1 Lure Module
- 1 Poffin
- 1 Super Incubator
- 1 Lucky Egg
- 3 Silver Pinap Berries
- 1 Star Piece
- 1 Elite Fast TM
- 1 Elite Charged TM
- 1 Charged TM
- 1 Fast TM
- 100 Mew Candy
- 3 Remote Raid Passes (available from the shop)
The special research line must be completed by April 5, 2021 in order to obtain the full set of items
Credit where credit is due; this is a fairly impressive set of premium items. Kudos to Niantic on giving us a package of such high value in response to the issues with Go Tour: Kanto.

Due to a technical issue that occurred during Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto, some Trainers were able to access the ticketed portion of the event without purchasing a ticket. We apologize for this issue, and to help Trainers who purchased a ticket feel like they are receiving its value, paid ticket holders will be able to participate in a bonus event.
