A new Legendary Pokemon is making its debut in Pokemon Go very soon. The colossal Regigigas is set to appear in EX Raids for the first time next month, but if you can't wait until then to catch one, you'll have a chance to encounter it early--but only if you pay.

　　Niantic is introducing a paid ticket system that will give players access to a Special Research questline called "A Colossal Discovery." By purchasing a ticket, you'll be able to take part in a special story event that culminates in an encounter with Regigigas before it appears in EX Raids.

　　Now Playing: Pokemon Go Halloween Event Start Date & Info - GS News Update

　　The Colossal Discovery event will take place on Saturday, November 2, from 11 AM to 7 PM local time. In addition to access to the event, purchasing a ticket will net you a Colossal Discovery medal, an Unova and Sinnoh Stone (used for evolving certain Pokemon from their respective regions), an exclusive avatar pose, and the ability to receive up to 10 free Raid Passes when you spin Photo Discs at PokeStops during the event.

　　The ticket will retail for $8 USD, and unlike other in-game items, it cannot be purchased using Poke Coins. This is sure to be a controversial addition to the game. Up until now, Special Research questlines have been available for free for all players, but this new ticket system locks an entire event behind a pay wall. You can read more about ticket, including details on how to purchase one, on the Pokemon Go website.

　　If you don't decide to spring for a ticket, you'll still be able to catch Regigigas in EX Raids later in November, but you need to receive an invitation to participate in those. Meanwhile, Regirock, Registeel, and Regice will return to standard Raid Battles from November 1-4, and you'll have your first chance to encounter their Shiny forms.

　　That's not the only Pokemon Go event on the horizon. This year's Halloween event is now underway and introduces costume-wearing starter Pokemon, Shiny Yamask, and specially themed Field Research quests. The Legendary Dark-type Pokemon Darkrai will also make its debut in five-star Raids.
