NianticWhat is the BATTLE ticket in the Pokemon Go Shop?
The BATTLE ticket in the Pokemon Go Shop is a free item that grants you access to the new BATTLE Timed Research, which tracks your progress in the Go Battle League and rewards you with Stardust.
You can find the BATTLE ticket by visiting the in-game Shop and scrolling down past the event boxes. It’s free to claim, and once you’ve done so, the BATTLE Timed Research will appear in the Today View area.

Strangely, the BATTLE ticket item description simply reads, ‘You’re ready to participate in Pokemon battles!’, without actually explaining what the ticket is for. Well, hopefully now you know!
If you don’t play in the Go Battle League, it’s best not to claim the BATTLE ticket, otherwise, you’ll end up with the Timed Research stuck at the top of your Today View for the rest of the Season of Alola.
