Pokemon GO has featured several regional exclusive Pokemon over the years that they have released worldwide for limited periods of time, with Pokemon GO Fest 2022 bringing one more of them temporarily worldwide with Torkoal.
Torkoal joins Tropius as a regional exclusive to be included around the world in Pokemon GO Fest 2022, which makes them a very sought after Pokemon without question.
This means that players will want to know just how to get their hands on as many Torkoal as they can during the event and there are a couple of ways, albeit with the requirement of you purchasing the GO Fest 2022 event ticket.

Who Is Torkoal?
Like Tropius, Torkoal was introduced back in Gen III within Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire as a Fire type Pokemon. It is listed as the Coal Pokemon and resembles a tortoise with volcanic-looking holes upon its back that glow with a red color.
In the past, Torkoal has been a regional exclusive to parts of South Asia, including India, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and more. Thankfully, people around the world are going to get a chance to get one now after all this time as well.
How To Catch It During Pokemon GO Fest 2022
As mentioned before, you will have no method of obtaining a Torkoal during Pokemon GO Fest 2022 without purchasing the $14.99 event ticket. By purchasing this ticket, you will gain access to two ways of obtaining a Torkoal, though one of them is a one-time only option.
The first of these is to activate Incense during the Plains habitat hours of GO Fest 2022. By having the Incense active, you will have the chance to find Torkoal in the wild all around the globe.

Your one-time surefire way to obtain a Torkoal is by making your way through the ticket-exclusive Shaymin-based Special Research that releases on Saturday during GO Fest. One of the tasks will reward you with a Torkoal encounter here, though there is only one available through this method.
While Incense spawns are supposedly boosted for the event even when stationary, you would be best to walk around as much as you can during these event hours so you can have the opportunity to catch as much Torkoal as possible when the Plains habitat hours are active during Pokemon GO Fest 2022.
