Both teams had very different ideas of what they wanted the Pok\u00e9mon world to look like, and they were willing to do whatever it took to get a hold of the Legendary Pok\u00e9mon of Hoenn. Team Magma was obsessed with Groudon in Pok\u00e9mon Ruby, while Team Aqua had their sights set on Kyogre in Pok\u00e9mon Sapphire.\u00a0 That iconic rivalry has inspired a special event during Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Hoenn. In the event, players must pick either the Ruby badge or Sapphire badge, which will determine the team they side with throughout the tour. Choose wisely, though, because your contribution to the team will influence the Primal Raids and wild Pok\u00e9mon that appear during that time. Related: Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Hoenn full event schedule Should you pick the Ruby or Sapphire team ticket for Pok\u00e9mon Go Tour: Hoenn? No matter which team you side with, you will have the opportunity to complete Field Research every hour during the event. The Field Research you do will count toward your team\u2019s efforts, and the Team with more Field Research completed will earn specific perks for everyone to take advantage of.\u00a0 If you have a Sapphire badge and your team has more Field Research completed for the hour, there will be an increased chance for Primal Kyogre Raids. In addition, there will also be a higher encounter rate for these Pok\u00e9mon: MinunIllumiseWailmerLunatoneCastform (Rainy Form) If you have a Ruby badge and your team is the one with more Field Research done in the past hour, there will be an increased chance for Primal Groudon Raids.
