Research

Before and on the day of, you can buy a special research ticket that gives you extra research. It usually costs $1-$2 per ticket or is converted into your country's currency. The research has boosted shiny odds and can give you a Pokémon with a special background (Precious Paths themed). So hope that you can get a shiny with the said background.
