Aura Expeditions let you send one of your Pokemon out on a timed run to bring back a bundle of rewards. Different routes have different reward pools, and longer runs roll more rewards with better odds.

How rewards work

  • Your Pokemon's level and the duration you pick decide the reward tier.
  • Each tier has its own reward pool for that route.
  • An expedition grants several reward rolls (based on duration). Each roll grants one reward.

Default duration tiers

6h1-2No rare pool, no mega stones
12h2-3Rare item pool unlocks
24h3-4Mega stones unlock (24h+)

168h7-10Best odds per total time

Reward categories (relative odds)

The game rolls one reward at a time. Higher weight means the category shows up more often.

Notes:

  • Woodland/Cavern have 15 mega stones in their pool; Ruins has 14.
  • Chance for a specific stone is roughly (chance for any mega) divided by the pool size.
  • Values are shown for the current default configuration and may be rebalanced in future patches.
