Is the Festival of Colors Premium Timed Research ticket worth it?

With almost every event having a Paid Timed Research or event ticket in Pokémon GO these days, it can be hard to know what is worth buying and what isn't.

The Festival of Colors Premium Timed Research isn't too expensive in Pokémon GO. It is priced at $2. You should know that because this is a Premium Timed Research it will expire at the end of the event, so you will need to complete it before the event ends.

The thing that is make or break for if this ticket is worth it for you is Bruxish. If you want more chances at the Bruxish shiny, this ticket isn't bad. If you aren't bothered by that, then that is essentially all you are getting. The other rewards are minimal, but this ticket isn't too expensive.

However, Bruxish is a full odds shiny Pokémon. The odds therefore are 1/512. So, while the additional Bruxish encounters are nice it is still a long-shot to get this Pokémon. There are also lots of free ways to get Bruxish, as it is spawning in the wild.
