Has anyone actually pulled the trigger and paid for this? Is it worth it?

What else do you get for completing the tasks?

every microtranaction in this game is a scam.

I have my 2nd one, but if the case was that I didn’t, I definitely would not pay 8 dollar/10 euro for that.
LostBeneathMySkin
Is it the same tasks as the last one?
Scroteduster
Yes. Too much.
poaipim1
Yes
MorningPapers
Kind of, yes.

Honestly, I think it’s fine. Could be cheaper, but meh. People who did the free research probably spent some amount of money on raid passes for doing the 60 raid challenge, I know I did.
Just ask yourself, do you like playing the game? Are the challenges going to be achievable for you? (You could could smash them out on a good comday)
Do you have the money to spare? It might be that your time would have been spent wasted on the last free research grinding it out, these challenges are easier, but come at a cost. Is that worth it for you personally?
At the end of the day it comes down to your own personal beliefs on whether paying for something in a free to play game is worth the time, effort, and money to you. It is a great item at the end of the day.

Lol I literally didn’t even care about the free one. I’m sure I’ll regret eventually.

Giovanni is obviously in charge here..

If I could I would, because that’s what disposable income is for

The answers for this post are confusing because I can’t tell if people are answering the question in the title or the question in the body of the post.

You’re going to catch a single Pokémon w it.
Only worth it if you’re dying for a Galarian Legendary Bird, but you should really lucky trade for them to be even slightly worth it (they all suck).

Yes

Yes.

It’s all up to you. There are people who will pay more for a shot glass of alcohol on a Tuesday night.
Justifying purchases is all up to the buyer.
bigman_121
Yes, and if I didn’t break my leg I could get the free one, all I needed was 5 raids to win.
JackFunk
It’s $8 for a single pokemon. For me, that’s too much.

Yes

I say yes, though i am more than likely biased. I’ve never paid for any mobiles games, nor have I ever made an in-app purchase. I’ve never seen a phone game as something worth paying for.
Sephiroth040
Yeah… no. I would have to pay 10€ and its just way too much for a “trophy” that most likely will never be used imo
PerestreloTheMan
Yes, but to be honest I was expecting worse, like 30$
If I could buy this event I would, but I got my second materball already

My only problem is that ithas you go through 3 stages of shit to get to get it after you made the purchase. Not even instant.

8 bucks to not pay for 60 raids I’d say in comparison it isn’t bad but the ball isn’t necessary imo. Yes I know you could do a raid every day and got 60 done for free yes we know some people have no life. Not a hard concept to compare the price of the ball and the price IF you bought 60 remote raids. Even normal ones.
MolaMolaMania
For me, yes.
Even when I’m Raiding, I don’t usually look up the Hundo CP values because I feel like that will only add to my stress during Throwing and increase the chance that the Pokémon will flee.
It feels like FOMO to me, and I’m limiting myself to spending money only on storage, or if I have a LOT of 10k Eggs to hatch.
