Previously available during Pokémon GO’s GO Tour: Hoenn events (the in-person Las Vegas, Nevada, and the global editions), Primal Kyogre returns! Trainers that challenge and defeat a Primal Kyogre in Primal Raids will get a catch encounter with Kyogre and will unlock the Primal Reversion mechanic for Kyogre (similar to Mega Evolution).

Paid Event Ticket Bonuses

Trainers can purchase an event ticket (priced at US$4.99 OR US$5.00 OR the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency) that will give them extra bonuses on Sunday, March 17th, 2024 from 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. your local time (that time frame includes five hours after the event ends in their time zone). This ticket will be available for purchase until Sunday, March 17th, 2024 at 5 p.m. your local time.

The ticket can also be purchased in a bundle via the Pokémon GO Web Store. That bundle is the Primal Raid Day Ticket Box and includes the Primal Kyogre Raid Day Ticket, the upcoming Primal Groudon Raid Day Ticket, and 1 Premium Battle Pass.

According to Niantic, “[t]ickets are nonrefundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service).” Tickets can also be gifted to Trainers you’re friends with provided that you have a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with them. This can be done via the in-game shop and by selecting the “Gift” button instead of the “Buy” button. Tickets purchased for friends are nonrefundable as well.
