The Yamask Timed Research is a Paid Event-exclusive Timed Research in Pokémon GO that involves catching Ghost-type pocket monsters for guaranteed Encounters with the Unovan Ghost-type Yamask and its Galarian variation. This event is not only an excellent opportunity to acquire this rare seasonal Pokémon, but it is also a great way to accumulate enough Candy to evolve it into Cofagrigus and its Galarian evolution, Runerigus. Keep in mind that Trainers do not need to participate in this event to get Yamask, as it will occasionally appear in the wild as a part of Pokémon GO‘s Spooky Halloween Festival for 2022.

As mentioned above, the Yamask Timed Research is an event exclusive to those who pay for an Event Ticket, purchasable via the in-game shop in Pokémon GO. Event Tickets are only obtainable with real money, not PokéCoins. There are two ticket variants. The first costs $1 ticket and grants event access, while the other alternate $5 ticket offers various bonuses.
