Pokemon GO's massive Throwback 2020 series of Special Research events is nearing a close, which means it is almost time for the final leg of the journey. The Throwback Challenge Celebration 2020 Special Research is available for free to players who managed to complete all of the preceding timed Special Research storylines, but that's not the only way to access the content.
Trainers who want to unlock the event and either didn't finish the preceding challenges or just want some additional bonuses are able to unlock the Throwback Challenge Celebration 2020 Special Research by dropping some real world dollars in the mobile AR game. Like with a few previous Pokemon GO Special Research quest lines, this one can be unlocked with a ticket that cannot be purchased with PokeCoins.
The upcoming Special Research sounds very exciting and is offering the chance to pick up some brand new Pokemon forms that have not been available in PoGO yet up to this point. The event kicks off on June 3 and runs through June 8, so players should start preparing now and make sure they have a few dollars set aside if they plan to purchase a ticket.

For now, players may want to keep hunting down the best Unova Pokemon in the game if improving their Battle Raid rosters is their primary goal. Be sure to check back in the near future for more Pokemon GO strategy guides, news, and updates. Until then, good luck out there, trainers!
