'''Professor Willow''' (Japanese: '''ウィロー博士''' ''Dr. Willow'') is a [[Pokémon Professor]] who appears in the [[Pokémon GO]] mobile game. Similar to [[Professor Birch]], he specializes in Pokémon habitats and distribution. Unlike other Professors who directly give {{pkmn|Trainer}}s their first Pokémon, Professor Willow gives Trainers their first {{i|Poké Ball}}s to capture their first Pokémon.

While investigating [[Team GO Rocket]] take-overs, Professor Willow recovered some corrupted files from his computer, uncovering data about Team GO Rocket Leaders {{OBP|Cliff|GO}}, {{OBP|Sierra|GO}}, and [[Arlo]]. He later found out that {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt}}s were dropping [[Mysterious Component]]s behind them when defeated at invaded [[PokéStop]]s. With the help of his assistants, the three team leaders, he was able to build an early [[Rocket Radar]] prototype to locate the {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}}s and later the [[Super Rocket Radar]] to locate [[Giovanni]] himself.<ref>[https://pokemongolive.com/en/post/willowreport-loomingshadow/ Willow Report: Looming in the Shadows]</ref>

On June 5, 2022, during the second day of the [[List of events (GO)|Pokémon GO Fest 2022]] event, Professor Willow suddenly disappeared, and in his stead appeared [[Rhi]], of the [[GO Ultra Recon Squad]]. It was later revealed that Professor Willow had entered an [[Ultra Wormhole]] and ended up in [[Ultra Space]]. On August 27, 2022, Rhi and the player managed to rescue Professor Willow from Ultra Space in time for the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Finale event, though his outfit was changed for a few months.
On November 5, 2022, following the {{p|Dratini}} [[Community Day|Community Day Classic]] event, Professor Willow was contacted by Jacq when Trainers discovered a [[?????? Coin]] from the [[Paldea]] region upon spinning a golden PokéStop. Jacq contacted Professor Willow again soon after to discuss the ecology of {{p|Gimmighoul}}. Gimmighoul's Chest Form was named by [[Jacq]], while its Roaming Form was named by Professor Willow.<ref name=GimmighoulYT>"[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nzi0S3NGzg Where are these mysterious coins coming from? &#129300; | Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet]."

===Mythical Special Research===
====A Mythical Discovery====
*1/8
:''"<Player>, how are you? It's been a while, hasn't it? You've become quite the Trainer! I wanted to ask for your help. As you know, I study Pokémon and their habitats. I've learned a lot over the years, but recently, I've found some hints of something mysterious. I was wondering if you would help me investigate what's going on. You will? That's great! First things first, let's calibrate my instruments to your area. Could you please complete the following research tasks?"''
:''"Spin 5 PokéStops."''
:''"Catch 10 Pokémon."''
:''"Transfer 5 Pokémon."''
 
*2/8
:''"Great. Thanks, <player>! Now I should be able to detect anything out of the ordinary. I believe we need to be on the lookout for a Mythical Pokémon! Mythical Pokémon are extremely rare and unique, and many consider their existence to be mere rumor. Could you help get my equipment set up around your local habitat? This'll be a great time to take your buddy out to explore a bit and hatch some Eggs! Please complete the following research tasks."''
:''"Earn 2 Candies walking with your buddy."''
:''"Make 10 Great Throws."''
:''"Hatch 3 Eggs."''
 
*3/8
:''"Incredible! This confirms my initial suspicion. I think we're seeing evidence of Mew! A Pokémon found in a jungle far to the south that was thought to have been extinct. It is so rare that many experts say that it is a myth. Only a few people have seen it worldwide. Apparently, it appears only to those people who are pure of heart and have a strong desire to see it. My colleagues in Kanto, including my instructor, Professor Oak, spent a long time studying Mew. It looks like our findings match theirs! According to our research, Mew was said to be observed using moves of all kinds. This observation has led some of us to say that Mew is the ancestor of all Pokémon! Perhaps by studying Pokémon in battle, we'll learn more! Please perform the following research tasks."''
:''"Reach level 15."''
:''"Battle in a Gym 2 times."''
:''"Battle in 2 raids."''
 
*4/8
:''"Great work, <player>! This will help point us in the right direction. Did you know Mew is said to hold the genetic codes of all Pokémon? Mew's secrets could be a link to understanding the mystery of Pokémon growth and Evolution! Let's study some Pokémon Evolution to learn more about Mew! Please perform these research tasks for me."''
:''"Earn a silver Kanto medal."''
:''"Earn 5 Candies walking with your buddy."''
:''"Evolve 20 Pokémon."''
 
*5/8
:''"Amazing. Just amazing! Isn't Evolution wondrous? I learn something new every time I see it! With the data we've collected so far, I should be able to pinpoint Mew's location! It looks like... Yes, it looks like Mew has visited your area recently! Hmm... Interesting. If that's the case, someone should have reported a sighting... Maybe Mew is hiding or disguised as another Pokémon? Let's study some other Pokémon that use these tricks and the best ways to catch them! Please perform the following research tasks."''
:''"Catch a Ditto."''
:''"Make 20 Great Throws."''
:''"Catch 10 Ghost-type Pokémon."''
 
*6/8
:''"Thank you, <player>! With your help, I've determined that Mew is invisible! Let's collect some data to build a tool to find it. I have an idea... I'll need you to study some powerful Pokémon up close to help me out! Could you complete the following research tasks?"''
:''"Battle in 10 raids."''
:''"Evolve a Magikarp."''
:''"Reach level 25."''
 
*7/8
:''"Nice! My prototype is functioning well. I've upgraded your AR camera with the new ability to see invisible Pokémon! The final step is to lure out Mew. Mew is said only to appear to those who are pure of heart and have a strong desire to meet it... Let's show Mew what a great Trainer you are and how excited we are to see it! Please carry out the following research tasks."''
:''"Use 50 Berries to help catch Pokémon."''
:''"Make an Excellent Curveball Throw."''
:''"Earn a gold Kanto medal."''
 
*8/8
:''"We found Mew! Awesome! This is an experience to remember forever. Now you can see why I love studying Pokémon so much! The whole world is out there to discover. So go have some fun! My assistants and I will request some Special Research from you in the future. Stay in touch!"''
 
====A Ripple in Time====
*1/8
:''"<Player>, you've been such a help in conducting Field Research and Special Research! I have a feeling that there's so much more about this world that we've yet to discover, and I'm glad I can count on you to see it through. I've been doing some experiments of my own, and I suspect that I'm onto a further exciting discovery about another Mythical Pokémon that's rarely seen. Would you mind completing these tasks while I conclude my studies? Please Power up Pokémon 5 times, Battle in a Gym 2 times, and Battle in a raid."''
:''"Power up a Pokémon 5 times."''
:''"Battle in a Gym 2 times."''
:''"Battle in a raid."''
 
*2/8
:''"Wow, you and your Pokémon have some amazing power! But according to my most recent data, it seems that the Mythical Pokémon I'm tracking only appears in times of peace. Also, from what I've gathered, it seems fond of forests and lush greens. Would you mind exploring this further, <player>? Let's Make 3 new friends, Evolve an evolved Grass-type Pokémon, and Catch a Pokémon 3 days in a row."''
:''"Catch a Pokémon 3 days in a row."''
:''"Make 3 new friends."''
:''"Evolve an evolved Grass-type Pokémon."''
 
*3/8
:''"Excellent work, <player>! I feel we're getting closer to this Mythical Pokémon. I wonder if we can find some more friends for it by hatching some Eggs. Ah, and maybe you could put that [[Sun Stone]] you've earned to good use as well? Please Reach level 25, Use a Sun Stone to evolve {{p|Gloom}} or {{p|Sunkern}}, and Hatch 9 Eggs."''
:''"Use a Sun Stone to evolve Gloom or Sunkern."''
:''"Hatch 9 Eggs."''
:''"Reach Level 25."''
 
*4/8
:''"Oh wow, is that an {{p|Eevee}} you've caught? Perfect timing! Did you know that this Pokémon's unstable genetic makeup enables it to take on one of several different Evolutions? I'll bet if you spend some time with it during the day, you'll be able to evolve your Eevee into an {{p|Espeon}}&mdash;a Psychic-type Pokémon just like the Mythical Pokémon I'm researching! Can you Walk 10 km with Eevee as your buddy to earn Candy, Evolve Eevee into Espeon during the day, and Send 20 Gifts to friends?"''
:''"Walk 10 km with Eevee as your buddy to earn Candy."''
:''"Evolve Eevee into Espeon during the day."''
:''"Send 20 Gifts."''
 
*5/8
:''"Oh wow, is that an Eevee you've caught? Perfect timing! Wait... Have we... had this conversation already? I'm getting a funny feeling in the back of my mind&mdash;like we've been here before. <Player>, would you spend some time with this Eevee during the night? I think you'll be able to see an intriguing evolved form as a result. I wonder if this funny feeling will recur... Please Walk 10 km with Eevee as your buddy to earn Candy, Evolve Eevee into {{p|Umbreon}} at night, and Trade a Pokémon."''
:''"Walk 10 km with Eevee as your buddy to earn Candy."''
:''"Evolve Eevee into Umbreon at night."''
:''"Trade a Pokémon."''
 
*6/8
:''"<Player>, I have some exciting news! That funny feeling hasn't returned, but I did some important reading and learned that the Mythical Pokémon we're researching has the ability to travel across time! Maybe that's why all of this is occurring... or recurring... Maybe this Pokémon is nearby?! I suggest that you collect samples over the course of the next week and experiment with some Evolution items to see whether that feeling occurs again. While you're at it, do you have any Pinap Berries? My research could benefit from more data on their use. Return with that, and you can have these exotic Silver Pinap Berries! Please Visit PokéStops 7 days in a row, Use 25 Pinap Berries while catching Pokémon, and Use items to evolve Pokémon 2 times."''
:''"Use items to evolve 2 Pokémon."''
:''"Visit PokéStops 7 days in a row."''
:''"Use 25 [[Pinap Berry|Pinap Berries]] while catching Pokémon."''
 
*7/8
:''"This data is so helpful. Thank you! I'll use it to explore my theory. While you were in the field, I made more headway in learning about this Mythical Pokémon, and it seems that its mere presence causes grass and trees to flourish. I think if you catch more Grass-type Pokémon, this elusive time-traveling Pokémon will reveal itself! Let's Catch 40 Grass- or Psychic-type Pokémon, Make an Excellent Curveball Throw, and Earn a Gold [[Johto]] medal."''

:''"<Player>, what an amazing experience! The appearance of the Mythical Pokémon {{p|Celebi}} is thought to be a sign that a bright and shining future awaits us. You've come a long way in your research, and I must say you're inspiring me to discover even more Pokémon. Until next time, <player>!"''

We're going to focus our efforts on Pokémon originally discovered in the [[Hoenn]] [[region]], because I have some leads on a Pokémon I've never seen before!

It mentions a Mythical Pokémon that awakens once every thousand years and has the ability to grand whishes!

It mentioned that a melody or a sound can awaken a sleeping Pokémon. That gives me an idea... Let's do a little experiment. There's a sleeping {{p|Snorlax}} that hasn't left my lab in months. And it's right in front of my [[Berry]] stash! Think we could wake it up with a loud noise? Let's document the Whismur Evolution line, too—some photos will do."''

Well, we've learned something important here, and I think this method could work to awaken even the deepest of sleepers. If my calculations are correct, the wish-granting Mythical Pokémon might be ready to awaken soon, and we should be prepared to do the waking! The text says that the Pokémon is a Steel- and Psychic-type, so I think a good next step is to catch a few Pokémon with similar characteristics. We'll need a few extra hands to get this done, too. Could you get some fellow Trainers to help out?"''

It says that when the Mythical Pokémon awakens, it will grand any wishes written on notes attached to its head. Another interesting tidbit: If this Pokémon senses danger, it will fight without awakening. Up for a Trainer Battle, <player>?

====Investigate a Mysterious Energy====
*1/6
:''"Hey there, <player>. As you know, I do a lot of research. There are just so many Pokémon to learn about and document! Recently, I've been investigating {{p|Ralts}}, the Feeling Pokémon, to learn more about how this Pokémon senses people's emotions by using the horns on its head. It's an amazing ability, don't you think? I thought studying this Pokémon's unique sensing powers could help me identify the strange feeling that's been stirring inside me these past few weeks. I've realized, though, that this isn't any ordinary emotion—it's a type of energy! This mysterious energy is filling me with hope and determination. I feel like I could take on any challenge and be victorious! I would appreciate your assistance in collecting more information on this strange and fascinating phenomenon. "''
 
*2/6
:''"Thanks for completing the research we needed to get started, <player>. While you were catching Pokémon and visiting [[PokéStop]]s, I started digging through my research and found references to a phenomenon that seems to have a lot in common with what I’ve been experiencing. The reports refer to a [[Mythical Pokémon]] that shares the infinite energy it creates with others to guarantee victory. The reports also state that this Pokémon is {{t|Psychic}}- and {{t|Fire}}-type. What an amazing combination! To get closer to confirming the source of the energy, let’s focus our efforts on catching Pokémon that share those same types."''
 
*3/6
:''"Wonderful work, <player>. Thanks to your efforts researching {{t|Psychic}}- and {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon, we’re well on our way to confirming the source of this mysterious energy. There’s many a mystery surrounding our path forward, so I’ll keep poring over our research notes. In the meantime, I’d like you to work on becoming better friends with your Pokémon. As a {{pkmn|Trainer}}, strengthening the bond between you and your Pokémon is an important task that requires a specific set of skills. To further develop those skills, why don’t you try spending time with your buddy? Successful partnerships take work and dedication, and talented Trainers build lifelong friendships with their Pokémon. That being said, be sure to spend time with your buddy every day!"''
 
*4/6
:''"You have a wonderful bond with your buddy, Trainer! It’s been a treat watching that friendship bloom. Now, though, it’s time to focus our efforts on the matter at hand! After further examination of the research you completed, I’m convinced that the Pokémon we’re looking for is {{p|Victini}}, the Victory Pokémon. Not only would this be consistent with the references to a {{t|Psychic}}- and {{t|Fire}}-type Pokémon, but it would also explain the mysterious surge of energy I’ve been experiencing. It’s time for you to befriend Victini. Since this Pokémon represents victory, I think winning a few battles might inspire it to come forward! I’ve been hearing reports that [[Team GO Rocket]] is causing trouble. Battling these troublemakers just might show this Pokémon you’re worthy of attention! Let’s see whether some victory will attract the [[Pokémon category|Victory Pokémon]]!"''
 
*5/6
:''"Absolutely astounding, <player>! I knew you’d be able to display your powerful bonds and battle prowess to impress the Mythical Pokémon Victini. It shares the infinite energy it creates when its body overflows with power, so I’m absolutely certain now that the energy I was feeling was coming directly from Victini! Be sure to use this power wisely, <player>, as you and Victini take on new challenges. But for now, your hard work calls for a celebration! Why don’t you take a few snapshots with Victini and share your success with fellow Trainers by sending them some [[Gift]]s?"''
 
*6/6
:''"Once again, you have helped me uncover a huge discovery. I cannot thank you enough for your time and dedication. The world of Pokémon is filled with endless discoveries and it isn’t everyday we come across a Mythical Pokémon! I hope that you will take the lessons we learned together through this investigation and apply them to your training. I’m proud of you, <player>, and hope you continue to strive to be your very best. Until next time, let’s GO!"''

====A Spooky Message 2018/2019====
*1/3
:''"Oh, <player>! You've dropped by just in time. As I was out on my regular walk one evening, I stumbled upon this [[Odd Keystone|odd stone]]. Something told me to bring it back to my lab for further research, and ever since then, strange things have been happening. Papers shifting around, water glasses tipping all by themselves... When I tried using my computer to research it, I got an error message with the number 108 flashing! <Player>, can you help gather some data on nearby Ghost-type Pokémon? I have to believe we can solve these spooky occurrences with science! "''

I can't say for sure just yet, but it seems this Pokémon may actually be composed of 108 spirits bound together. So maybe if we catch 108 Pokémon, it will appear? Good luck, <player>! And...would you keep the light on in the lab for me? All this spooky research is making my hair stand on end."''

====A Spooky Message Unmasked====
*1/4
:''"BOO! Haha, hey there, <player>! Hope I didn’t scare you too badly. I was just having a bit of fun during this spooky season. Say, since you’re here, I was wondering whether you could help me. I’ve heard some reports of an unusual Pokémon appearing in a nearby forest. Why aren’t I going into that dark forest to find this Pokémon myself? W-well, er, it’s certainly not because I’m scared! Y-you see I would, but I’m busy here with some...uh...research! Yes! Oh! I think I see [[Blanche (GO)|Blanche]] over there near my lab. Maybe it’s time for some research into the Evolution of {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon! Could you go on ahead and let me know what you find, <player>? Thanks—and good luck!"''
 
*2/4
:''"Blanche, do you really think this [[Galar]]ian Pokémon can evolve? Oh, glad to see you again, <player>— AH! What’s that sound?! Oh, it’s just a {{p|Yamask}}. Seems like it’s looking at its mask and crying. Ah, so {{p|Yamask}} was the unusual Pokémon appearing in the forest? I see. Sorry, Trainer, but it looks like you’re going to have to venture back out there. After comparing eyewitness reports with some texts I found about {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon, it turns out we aren’t looking for this particular kind of Yamask, which was originally discovered in the [[Unova]] [[region]], but another one entirely! The {{p|Yamask}} we’re looking for was first discovered in the Galar region and seems to be carrying a clay slab. The texts say that the slab absorbs that {{p|Yamask}}'s dark power. Unfortunately, I can’t come along with you this time, either. Because, uh...it looks like [[Spark (GO)|Spark]] needs my help with some [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO|Strange Eggs]]! See ya later, and good luck!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Yup, still seems like mostly {{t|Poison}}- and {{type|Dark}} Pokémon are hatching from Strange Eggs. I sure am glad we got to confirm what we already— Oh! Welcome back, <player>! How are— EGAD! A {{p|Spiritomb}}! What a tricky {{type|Ghost}} Pokémon. I’ve worked with Trainers to [[#A Spooky Message 2018/2019|research]] {{p|Spiritomb}} in previous years. Maybe you’ve encountered a {{p|Spiritomb}} before! There seem to be a few more {{p|Spiritomb}} around than in the past. That’s quite frightening, given that each {{p|Spiritomb}} is formed by 108 spirits bound to a keystone. One might say that it’s BOUND to be a real spooky season! Haha, sorry, {{p|Spiritomb}}—too much? Anyway, I hate to ask you again, Trainer, but third time’s the charm, right? I’m sure you’ll encounter the illusive and elusive Galarian {{p|Yamask}} this time! I, uh, have to go help [[Candela]] prep for an upcoming [[Trainer Battle (GO)|Trainer Battle]], but you go on ahead! Good luck, <player>!"''
 
*4/4
:''"{{t|Poison}}-, {{t|Bug}}-, {{t|Ghost}}-, {{t|Dark}}-, and {{type|Fairy}} Pokémon—looks like you’re all set for a spooky Trainer Battle, Candela! Oh, hi there, <player>! And hello, Galarian {{p|Yamask}}! What a curious Pokémon this is. It gives off a totally different energy. Blanche and I were looking into the Evolution of Ghost-type Pokémon earlier, and it appears that Galarian {{p|Yamask}} evolves into an entirely different Pokémon than its counterpart from Unova does! All you need is to collect some {{p|Yamask}} [[Candy|Candies]] and get to evolving! I’m certain that its Evolution will be an exciting addition to your Pokédex! Anyway, I’m so glad we got to go on this spooky adventure and discover Galarian {{p|Yamask}} together! I hope you had a ghoulishly good time, and I hope you have an extra spoOoOoOoOoOoky day!"''
 
===Let's GO, Meltan===
*1/9
:''"<Player>, it's always great to see you! I'm sure you know this, but your help in progressing my research has been essential to major breakthroughs in my work. That's why I've come to talk to you again. You probably already know what I'll be asking! I need your assistance in learning more about the newly discovered Pokémon that has really sent me and other Pokémon researchers into quite a tizzy. Can you believe an undiscovered Pokémon just appeared out of the blue? You can imagine how everyone is talking about it! I was checking a nearby habitat when I ran into a nest of them, and I was so excited, I dropped my camera! Don't worry, though... I'm sure the repairs won't cost me too much at the shop... Although each Pokémon turned out to be a {{p|Ditto}} using the move {{m|Transform}}, that didn't put a damper on my day! So many Ditto taking on this unique Pokémon form must mean that the real Pokémon is truly out there, just waiting to be found. Let's get to work, <player>! I know we don't have much to go on, but I'm confident your hard work can only bring us good fortune! But first, let me recalibrate my instruments for your area. Could you please complete the following tasks?"''
:''"Spin 5 [[PokéStop]]s or {{OBP|Gym|GO}}s."''
:''"Catch 10 Pokémon."''
:''"Transfer 5 Pokémon."''
 
*2/9
:''"Thanks, <player>! I think that will be enough to help me properly conduct calculations based on the data you'll gather in the field. While you were out, I scanned some academic journals to see if any of my fellow researchers have encountered a Pokémon matching the description of the species I saw, but I didn't have much luck. But I do have a hunch! Given that this Pokémon has been unseen until just recently, I think it's safe to say that we're tracking another [[Mythical Pokémon]], like {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}. If I'm right and this elusive Pokémon is a Mythical Pokémon, we should be able to draw it out by creating specific conditions under which it thrives. But let's step back for a minute, before we take a step forward. Or many steps forward, in this case! Great fieldwork starts with a walk. Could you complete a few tasks for me? Also, remind me to contact my mentor, [[Professor Oak]]. I'm certain his brilliant mind will have something to lend to all this... Please complete the following tasks."''

:''"Make 10 Great Throws."''
:''"Hatch 3 [[List of Eggs in Pokémon GO|Eggs]]."''

:''"<Player>, I gave Professor Oak a call, and he pulled through! He says that the Pokémon is called {{p|Meltan}}! I think the name has a nice ring to it: don't you? Professor Oak got this information through an ancient text found in his archives, which included the appearance of Meltan. What luck! Did you know that when Professor Oak was my instructor, he was my role model? And he still is! He and I are of the same opinion that Meltan is a Mythical Pokémon, so I really think we're on to something! Still, a name alone isn't going to get us very far... Perhaps the Ditto know something we don't? I think that if we find Ditto, we'll be able to figure out how they acquired this curious transformation, and maybe that will lead us to Meltan. Observation will be the best way forward, so let's roll up our sleeves and get to work! Please complete the following tasks."''

:''"Excellent work, <player> The Ditto you've helped me analyze indeed has transformed into Meltan before. In fact, it was able to use Transform and let me analyze Meltan up close! This Ditto was very helpful, even though it couldn't replicate some of the finer details. It seems the memory of Meltan is fading away... But I have good news! I was able to tell that Meltan has a liquid-metal body with a nutlike head and a tail that looks like a power cord. Judging from the appearance, it may be an Electric- or Steel-type Pokémon. In order to make more progress, I think we should study these types of Pokémon! Can you complete the following tasks?"''

:''"Catch 5 {{type|Electric}} Pokémon."''
:''"Earn 5 Candies walking with your [[Buddy Pokémon|buddy]]."''
 
*5/9
:''"Great news, <player>! Thanks to all the data you've collected, I was able to make a detailed study of the differences between {{type|Electric}} Pokémon and {{type|Steel}} Pokémon. Thankfully, the Ditto was able to use Transform one more time! It took me some time to figure out it was attracted to all my metal equipment. Then I realized that it was copying every aspect of Meltan, including its behavioral patterns. Given the Ditto's behavior, I believe Meltan is capable of assimilating metal by melting metal objects. What an interesting ability! I can now say that, according to my research, Meltan is a Steel-type Pokémon! I think our next step is to study more Pokémon that have similar characteristics. Can you complete the following tasks to learn more about Pokémon with fluid body surfaces or stomach acid strong enough to melt metals? Oh, and one more thing—Professor Oak is also studying a Ditto in his own lab that is able to Transform into Meltan. With our parallel research, I think we'll be able to make some breakthroughs soon! By the time you complete all the research tasks, I should be able to circle back to you with the latest development."''
:''"Evolve a {{p|Grimer}}."''
:''"Catch 5 {{p|Slugma}} or {{p|Gulpin}}."''

*6/9
:''"Just in the nick of time, <player>! With careful study of the Ditto that I sent him and the small amount of documented Meltan encounters, Professor Oak was able to solve more mysteries related to this Pokémon. Meltan very well may have split from a Pokémon named Melmetal, which has been recorded even less than Meltan. Never before have we seen a Mythical Pokémon that can divide into multiple, independent Pokémon! This explains why the world saw a simultaneous appearance of so many Ditto disguised as Meltan. Professor Oak and I have made a guess as to how Meltan can re-form back into {{p|Melmetal}}—because Meltan have bodies similar to molten metal, they have a unique ability to merge and trigger an Evolution into Melmetal! Do you know what Pokémon we should research next? You're bright, <player>, so I know you know the answer! I need you to collect data on Pokémon for which several parts can come together and act as one. Can you complete the following tasks?"''
:''"Evolve a {{p|Magnemite}}."''

*7/9
:''"Wow, I'm impressed! <Player>! Your data has arrived just as I've finished putting pieces of evidence together to learn Melmetal's place in history. According to these records, Melmetal was once regarded as a sacred being in a secluded community deep inside a wooded land that was rich with magnetite-bearing sedimentary rock. People there developed ways to make unique tools out of metal shed by Melmetal. Without such metal, they couldn't have made these tools back then. We need to find out more about Pokémon that wield tools. Could you complete the following research tasks?"''

:''"I just received an important piece of news, <player>! Remember the ancient text? It seems that a [[Mystery Box|mysterious box]] was also excavated from the same site where the ancient text was found. There was nothing in the box except a rusty lump of metal that bears interesting similarities to Meltan. Perhaps exposing the box to this vast natural environment could cause something enigmatic to happen, resulting in Meltan changing states as well. Exposing this metal to the open air could have had an entirely different effect on what's inside the box, but we won't know until we try it. We may be able to find a clue about the lump of metal by delving into the world of ancient Pokémon. Please complete the following tasks."''
:''"Catch 2 {{p|Omanyte}} or {{p|Kabuto}}."''
:''"Catch 2 {{p|Lileep}} or {{p|Anorith}}."''
:''"Catch an {{p|Aerodactyl}}."''
 
*9/9
:''"I was right, <player>! This artifact is truly Meltan! We did it! Of course, the reason for Meltan's presence inside this mysterious box can only be guessed. Maybe the people who glorified and worshiped Melmetal decided to keep it safe when the Pokémon somehow split itself apart. Doing so could have been thought of as the only way for the people to ever meet Melmetal again. That warms the heart a little, doesn't it, <player>? Make sure you give Meltan plenty of chances to see the vast world we live in by venturing out and exploring! Who knows what will happen from here... Enjoy exploring, <player>, and I'm sure we'll be in touch soon!"

:''"Wonderful work, <Player>! You're certainly getting the hang of that camera! Did you notice anything strange while taking photos of Pokémon in their habitats? Apparently, there's an unusual phenomenon where Pokémon leap out in an attempt to appear in your photos. I've heard [[Spark (GO)|Spark]] refer to it as a "photobomb". I'm eternally amused—and amazed—by the things we learn about Pokémon every day. That said, I did notice a connection. These Pokémon all seem to have something in common—music! I have a hunch that music may be the key to awakening our slumbering Pokémon. What do you think, <Player>? Shall we set the stage and see if some beautiful music is the answer to this perplexing situation? "''

:''"That's it! The pure melody created by your musical Pokémon has awakened the {{t|Steel}}- and {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon {{p|Jirachi}}! The ancient text was right—this Mythical Pokémon could only be awakened from its thousand-year slumber by a song of purity. The text also says that when Jirachi awakens, it grants wishes! Now that we've done the work of waking Jirachi up, I wonder what you and your fellow Trainers will wish for. I already know what my wish is going to be—I want you to enjoy this amazing experience! It isn't every day that you get to join Trainers from all over the world in exploring a park with so many Pokémon in such diverse habitats—not to mention meeting a Mythical Pokémon! I'm sure Jirachi was far from the last amazing discovery to be made, though. I'll no doubt be calling on your excellent research skills again the future! "''

====GO Fest 2020: Welcome!====
:''"Welcome to Pokémon GO Fest 2020, <player>! GO Fest this year is a little bit different from previous years; but it'll be just as fun—and challenging! I've noticed an amazing phenomenon—it seems as though different Pokémon are appearing in the area on what seems and hourly basis. I need your help collecting data on this situation. I thought it would be fun to give you some tasks to help you research this phenomenon. I'll make sure you get a reward for your hard work! Don't delay—since different Pokémon seem to be appearing each hour, you have limited tome to complete these tasks! You can see Trainers's progress by checking the Global Challenge Arena. To help with your research, be sure to use {{OBP|Incense|GO}} to attract Pokémon. Remember, you can now activate several Incense at once and have them attract Pokémon to you for hours! Incense smells amazing, doesn't it? It brings a smile to my face knowing that millions of Trainers around the world are working together right now because of their shared love of Pokémon. Furthermore, I've been sensing a great energy that has filled me with hope and determination. Have you been feeling it as well? I wonder whether it's connected to the strange happenings that kicked off our research this weekend. I have a feeling today's just the beginning of an exciting adventure! We'll have another fun-filled day tomorrow. For now, I'm going to start looking into this situation. Perhaps it's related to a powerful Pokémon. Now, <player>, I'm sure you know what I am going to say next. Let's GO!"''
 
====GO Fest 2020: Rocket Straight to Victory====
* 1/6
:''"<Player>, by the look on your face, I'm sure you've grasped the situation.[[Team GO Rocket]] confetti is raining down from the sky. {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt|Grunts}} are invading [[PokéStop]]s all around the world. And...Team Go Rocket has taken over Pokémon GO Fest. We thought we put a stop to them when we ended their take-over during our research leading up to GO Fest. But that take-over appears to have been only part of a larger plan. We have yet to determine Team GO Rocket's ultimate goal, though. Regardless of what it is, <player>...you must prepare yourself. I'm impressed by your energy and that of your fellow Trainers around the world! If we work together, I know victory is within our reach!"''
 
* 2/6
:''"Great work, <player>. Your Pokémon are ready for battle, and I bet your fellow Trainers are thankful for the supplies you've sent their way. We'll need to work together to keep Team GO Rocket at bay and save Pokémon GO Fest! Oh, what's this? Looks like the snapshots you took feature some unwelcome guests! It's amazing that Team GO Rocket can organize these massive take-overs, but its members do seem a little silly. Or maybe these photobombs are actually all a part of their scheme? Anyway, why don't you put all your training to use? In the meantime, I'll do some more investigating with the team leaders."''
 
* 3/6
:''"Thanks to your hard work, you've caught a {{p|Golem}}! The team leaders and I have been scoping out the Team GO Rocket ballons and have discovered that the Team GO Rocket Leaders are using {{type|Flying}} Pokémon. Sources told me that Team GO Rocket might've captured some [[Legendary]] Pokémon and turned them into {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}} too! If I recall correctly, the team leaders saw one of these ballons at GO Fest last year—and another during the Team GO Rocket take-over a few weeks ago. I wouldn't have imagined that Team GO Rocket would spend resources on such an...interesting means of transportation. However it's clear that the [[Giovanni|boss]] has put a lot of effort into providing his Grunts with ballons. Your Golem might be a helpful addition to your battle party, since {{t|Flying}} types are weak to {{type|Rock}} attacks! <Player>, it's time to rock Team Go Rocket's world and save those Legendary Shadow Pokémon!"''
 
* 4/6
:''"Good job defeating {{OBP|Sierra|GO}}, {{OBP|Cliff|GO}}, and [[Arlo]]. Now all that's left is their boss, [[Giovanni]]; <Player>, are you ready? {{OBP|Spark|GO}}, {{OBP|Blanche|GO}}, and [[Candela]] can handle the Team GO Rocket Leaders while you prepare to face the boss. It's interesting that the Team GO Rocket Leaders are commanding these Legendary Shadow Pokémon, which are usually reserved for the boss himself. Perhaps we'll learn what this means as we uncover Team GO Rocket's devious plans and discover what Pokémon Giovanni now has under his control. On the bright side, I received an encouraging message from the team leaders about a mysterious phenomenon. Remember that powerful energy I detected yesterday? The team leaders reported that Trainers worldwide suddenly felt a similar energy that filled them with hope and determination. Through my research, I found references to that very same energy. They document a [[Mythical Pokémon]] {{p|Victini|that shares its infinite energy with others and guarantees a winning battle}}. I have a feeling that why Team GO Rocket is here. Perhaps Team GO Rocket hopes to further its dastardly plans by using this powerful Pokémon? I hear Giovanni often begins his battles with his [[Buddy Pokémon]], {{TP|Giovanni|Persian}}, which is weak to {{t|Fighting}} Pokémon. The {{p|Machamp}} you caught earlier might help you there. Good luck, <player>. The fate of Pokémon GO Fest is in your hands."''
 
* 5/6
:''"<Player>, you did it! You defeated Giovanni and sent him packing! Who would've thought he could turn even {{p|Mewtwo}} into a Shadow Pokémon? That alone is a mystery we need to investigate. IT was a tough battle, and the fact that you defeated Mewtwo proves what an amazing Trainer you are. Spark, Blanche, and Candela were victorious against the Team GO Rocket Leaders and drove them away, too. Thanks to everyone's efforts, we've saved Pokémon GO Fest! It's time to celebrate! Turns out, Team GO Rocket was after {{p|Victini}}, the Victory Pokémon! Some say this Pokémon brings victory to its Trainer, regardless of the contest. I'm now sure that the energy we were all feeling was thanks to Victini. I'm in utter awe of your tenacity and determination. Pokémon GO Fest was saved because of your hard work. Thank you, <player>."''
 
* 6/6
:''"Phew! Now, I think we should get back to having fun. There's still time to enjoy the festivities! While this year's GO Fest was quite a bit different from previous ones, I'm overjoyed that Trainers all over the world could still come together to celebrate—and protect—our beloved Pokémon. Even when we're apart, we're still united by our love of Pokémon. No matter what obstacles appear in your path, you can always count on your Pokémon and you fellow Trainers. I know we'll all meet again under the same sky someday, so until then...let's GO!"''

Some Trainers have even spotted people wearing shirts with a big letter R on them who are guarding these PokéStops. These shady characters appear to have Pokémon with a mysterious dark aura around them! As I investigate this with {{OBP|Spark|GO}}, it might be best to power up some of your Pokémon.

It looks like we can help them harness this strength through a process called [[purification]]. Can you help me purify some Shadow Pokémon, <player>"''

Now that you have this knowledge, we need your help with saving as many Shadow Pokémon as possible by taking back PokéStops that are under Team GO Rocket's control! The world is under attack!

I’m thinking about the fact that he has Legendary Shadow Pokémon. Could that have anything to do with why he’s here? In any case, the time has come to track him down. The more we battle Giovanni and his team of Grunts, the more we learn about why he’s waging these take-overs."''

But this battle is far from over, and we must continue learning about Team GO Rocket, their leaders, and their boss, Giovanni. Looks like the Rocket Radar I developed is helping the cause. I remember when this strange activity started happening... Back then, I had a hunch the Mysterious Components that Team GO Rocket Grunts were leaving behind held more secrets than we originally thought. We’ve come quite a long way since then! On that note, could you continue your work battling Grunts and helping Shadow Pokémon?"''
 
*2/6
:''"Wonderful work, <player>. I remember the first time we came across Shadow Pokémon. It was heartbreaking to see the pain they were in, and I knew I had to do something. As a Pokémon Professor, I always want to contribute and help where I can. I may not be an accomplished battler like you, <player>, but I can use my skills as a researcher and scientist to assist you on your journey. That was why I started using Mysterious Components to build the prototype for the Rocket Radar. I hoped that Trainers like you could use it in our ongoing fight against Team GO Rocket and in our efforts to rescue more Pokémon. So let’s get out there and do just that. I’m grateful for your help, especially now. It’s when times are toughest that we have the greatest opportunity to shine!"''

Luckily, with the help of the team leaders and motivated Trainers like you, we were able to develop a functioning Rocket Radar and even start work on the Super Rocket Radar! While a terrible situation, the Team GO Rocket invasion has been a thrilling adventure and research opportunity. I’m anxious but excited to send our findings over to my mentor, Professor Oak. I’ll be sure to let him know you said hello! Now, it’s time to get back to work. Let’s test your battle skills, <player>"''

*5/6
:''"I knew you could do it, <player>. The more you practice, the better you’ll be able to take on those pesky Team GO Rocket Leaders. I’m sure they’re already scheming up their next plan after this defeat. But now, Giovanni is waiting. Using the Super Rocket Radar, track him down and defeat him. We must remain strong—Giovanni is relentless. I wonder why he continues his invasion... There are so many resources and Pokémon in our world. His evil plans must have something to do with that. My research will continue, but we need you to face him. Good luck, <player>. We’re counting on you."''
 
*6/6
:''" Fantastic work, <player>! I will definitely be adding your victory as a note to the research I send over to [[Professor Oak]]. I’m sure he will be interested in anything you’ve learned about Shadow Pokémon and the continuing Team GO Rocket invasion, so please keep up your research and send it my way. It may seem small, but every little bit helps! I’ll be in touch soon, since we know Team GO Rocket isn’t likely to go anywhere. I know you’ll be ready for whatever happens next!"''
 
====The Shadow Threat Grows====
*1/6
:''"Hey there, <player>. You’ve been instrumental in keeping back Team GO Rocket’s forces. Thanks to your hard work, we’ve learned so much about this enemy. Team GO Rocket won’t be going away anytime soon, so I’m glad I can rely on you and your fellow Trainers. While you’ve done an amazing job so far, I’m looking for more opportunities for you to hone your skills. Every good Trainer needs to stay on their toes! The Super Rocket Radar is in good hands with you on the task, but I wouldn’t be a good Professor if I didn’t make sure you were keeping up with Giovanni."''
 
*2/6
:''"As expected, <player>. Fantastic work! Even though we’ve been fighting off the threat of Team GO Rocket for some time, I’m still concerned about the fact that Shadow Pokémon keep appearing. It seems even more Pokémon are being turned into Shadow Pokémon despite our efforts. I’ve been tracking this situation, and the numbers have almost tripled since all this began. We need to keep pushing forward—those Pokémon need our help! Can I rely on you to purify more Shadow Pokémon? I’m sure you’ll see them shine with gratitude once you do!"''
 
*3/6
:''"Thank you for your efforts, <player>. I’m getting more and more concerned about the growing number of Shadow Pokémon, so we need to keep fighting back against this threat. Your talent has made it clear that you’re ready for the next step in your preparations. Use your battle skills to take on some Grunts. I think with some further observation, I can figure out what you need to do to make sure you’re at your best!"''
 
*4/6
:''"All right! You should feel proud of your progress, <player>. You consistently impress me and the team leaders. Candela could learn a thing or two from your battle prowess. I’m sure the Team GO Rocket Leaders see you as a challenge. Take that challenge to them, and drive them out of wherever they’re holed up!"''
 
*5/6
:''"<Player>, your preparations are complete—you’re ready to take on Giovanni. It’s time for you to use the Super Rocket Radar to track down the boss himself. You’ve proven not only your strength in battle but also your compassion through saving and purifying Shadow Pokémon. Confront Giovanni with that strength and compassion, and I believe he won’t be able to stop you! Good luck, <player>!"''
 
*6/6
:''"Well done, <player>. You’ve shown Team GO Rocket just how strong your training has made you. Although your battle with Giovanni wasn’t easy, the skills you’ve learned through practice and patience have paid off. But keep your wits about you, <player>. Giovanni doesn’t like to lose, so I’m sure he’ll be back soon to further his plans. I know I can count on you when he returns, but until then, I’ll work on finding some training opportunities for you so you can keep developing your skills."''
 
====An Inter-egg-sting Development====
*1/6
:''"Hey there, <player>! It’s good to see you, though I’m sorry it has to be under such dire circumstances. What circumstances, you ask? Well, it appears as if [[Team GO Rocket]] is—you guessed it—stirring up more trouble! We’ve just received word that they’re doing something strange at [[PokéStop]]s. What exactly they’re doing—and to what end—is what we need to figure out. Let’s get out there and see what we can find!"''
 
*2/6
:''"Welcome back, <player>. It looks like {{tc|Team GO Rocket Grunt|Grunts}} aren’t involved in whatever new experiments Team GO Rocket is performing. As you might recall, Grunts use {{OBP|Shadow Pokémon|GO}}, which are Pokémon that have been trained in unnatural and harmful ways to become incredibly powerful. We’ve heard rumors that [[Arlo]] was the one who spearheaded the Shadow Pokémon program not long after he parted ways with [[Candela]] and [[Team Valor]]. More recently, {{OBP|Spark|GO}} discovered that Team GO Rocket may be hatching a plot involving [[Pokémon Egg]]s! Is Arlo involved in this, too? Let’s investigate more PokéStops and purify some Shadow Pokémon while we’re at it. Something is bound to come up!"''
 
*3/6
:''"Great job saving and purifying those Shadow Pokémon, <player>! I noticed you caught a {{p|Larvitar}}. It’s highly unusual to see one in the wild. Maybe it came from one of the Pokémon Eggs that Team GO Rocket has been collecting... While you were out battling Grunts, the team leaders and I discovered that Team GO Rocket has been collecting a mysterious kind of Pokémon Egg we’re calling [[Strange Egg]]s. It appears that mostly {{t|Poison}}- or {{type|Dark}} Pokémon hatch from these Eggs. Let’s save and hatch as many Strange Eggs as possible before Team GO Rocket is able to grow their ranks! The Team GO Rocket Leaders seem to be guarding these Strange Eggs, so let’s start by finding them. Be sure you have space for Eggs and some [[Incubator]]s at the ready!"''
 
*4/6
:''"Great job defeating those leaders, <player>! You’ve saved some pretty cute Pokémon in the process, if I do say so myself. While you were off fighting Team GO Rocket, Spark and I did some more sleuthing and discovered that {{OBP|Sierra|GO}} might actually be the brains behind the Strange Eggs! It appears there’s more to a {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}}’s duties than just taking over PokéStops and challenging Trainers to battle. First Arlo with Shadow Pokémon, and now Sierra with these Strange Eggs... I wonder what else Team GO Rocket’s got tucked up their sleeves. This doesn’t sit well with me, <player>. Let’s track down those leaders again! We have to do all we can to disrupt their plans!"''
 
*5/6
:''"Incredible work, <player>! Hopefully that’ll keep them at bay for a little while. I managed to craft another [[Super Rocket Radar]] for you that’ll help you track down [[Giovanni]]. But be careful—according to a field report from {{OBP|Blanche|GO}} and Candela, he’s got Shadow {{p|Mewtwo}} with him! You might have encountered Shadow Mewtwo the last time Giovanni appeared. We’d thought that was the last we’d see of it, but it looks like it’s back! You need to save Shadow Mewtwo, Trainer! I have a feeling Giovanni plans on using this poor Pokémon for nefarious ends."''
 
*6/6
:''"Celebrations are in order, <player>. You’ve done it again—you’ve defeated Team GO Rocket’s Grunts, its leaders, and even Giovanni! Not to mention all the Shadow Pokémon you saved along the way, including Shadow Mewtwo! This is probably not the last that we’ll see of Giovanni or Team GO Rocket, but that also means there’ll likely be more Strange Eggs to collect and Shadow Pokémon to save! Let’s get cracking, Trainer!"''
 
====The Higher They Fly...====
*1/6
:''"Good to see you, <player>. I’m sorry to call you here so suddenly, but I’m afraid there’s trouble afoot. That’s right—Team GO Rocket is up to no good! We’re not sure what their plan is just yet, but we know we have to stop them. Now, let’s GO!"''
 
*2/6
:''"Welcome back, <player>. You did a tremendous job defeating those Team GO Rocket Grunts and saving those poor Shadow Pokémon! While you were busy battling, I received reports that Team GO Rocket has obtained a {{type|Flying}} Legendary Pokémon. Blanche is doing recon as we speak in hopes of figuring out exactly which Legendary Pokémon we’re dealing with. I have no doubt we’ll have more information soon. While we wait, why don’t you conduct some research on {{type|Flying}} Pokémon?"''
 
*3/6
:''"Thanks for catching all those {{type|Flying}} Pokémon, <player>! Blanche and I have been analyzing them to help us learn more about the Legendary Pokémon that Team GO Rocket captured. Unfortunately, our current hypothesis points to this Pokémon being one that’s near and dear to the team leaders’ hearts. While we gather more information, could you head back out into the field? We can’t let Team GO Rocket continue its plan unopposed! "''
 
*4/6
:''"Welcome back, Trainer. I see you’ve got yourself a Pidgeot and some Pidgeot Mega Energy! As impressive as this Pokémon is, though, it doesn’t seem to be the {{type|Flying}} Pokémon we've heard about in our reports. Blanche’s latest intel points to Giovanni being the one holding on to this mysterious {{type|Flying}} Legendary Pokémon, so we need to track him down. We believe our best bet at doing so is by first finding the Team GO Rocket Leaders—and that’s where you come in, Trainer. Let’s GO!"''
 
*5/6
:''"Great work, <player>! You’ve been a huge help in our efforts to track down Giovanni. I’m happy to report that the team leaders and I have made significant headway in our investigation. I’ve managed to finish building another Super Rocket Radar for you. You can use it to find and defeat Giovanni—and save that Legendary Pokémon!"''
 
*6/6
:''"Fantastic work as always, <player>! The fight against Team GO Rocket and their malicious machinations continues, but at least for today we can rest knowing that we’ve foiled their latest scheme. So, until next time—let’s GO!"''
 
===EX Raid Boss introduction===
====A Colossal Discovery====
*1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>. Good to see you again. Your research inspired me to do some more research of my own, and I think I’ve come across something...groundbreaking. I was investigating the digging patterns of {{p|Diglett}}, and I wound up heading deep into a cave. Inside, I came across some unusual markings carved heavily into the cavern walls. At first, I thought them to be random, but then I realized the carvings formed four unique patterns, each consisting of seven circles. These patterns look incredibly familiar, and I think we need to take a closer look at some Pokémon in particular. Can I count on you to help me research some Rock-type Pokémon?  I have a hunch that this will lead us to our first clue."''

This leads me to believe we should move our investigation to {{type|Ice}} Pokémon. I wonder if we’ll find another Pokémon that will help us solve this puzzle. I have one in mind, but I don’t want to get ahead of myself! I’m sure with the help of an accomplished Trainer such as yourself, we’ll be on our way to figuring this out in no time."''

It’s said that it made Pokémon that looked like itself from a special ice mountain, rocks, and magma. Could it be these Pokémon these patterns originate from? This is starting to get exciting, isn’t it? If the first two Pokémon were {{p|Regirock}} and {{p|Regice}}...then there’s only one left that we must research further."''

Anyway...I have a feeling that once you fully document these amazing creatures, you’ll make a colossal discovery of your own."''

====A Drive to Investigate====
* 1/5
:''"Great to see you again, <player>. I always run into you when I find something exciting. Maybe you’re my [[Special Research]] good-luck charm! Last night, I was studying the chemical reaction that causes {{p|Trubbish}} to appear. Suddenly I saw bright flashing lights in the near distance and went to investigate. When I arrived at the site, I noticed a lot of damage to the ground and the surrounding area. At first, the damage looked to be caused by {{pkmn|Trainer}}s practicing for the [[GO Battle League]], but my gut told me to investigate further in the morning. While I look into this, can you help me research {{type|Normal}} Pokémon? Some of the damage looks like it was caused by a Normal-type attack."''
 
* 2/5
:''"Thanks for getting that baseline research taken case of for me, <player>. I have some updates to share with you. After I returned to the site we’re studying, I realized there was actually a trail of damage. When I followed that trail, I started finding areas that were clearly burned. That damage must have been done by a {{type|Fire}} Pokémon or at least a Pokémon that knows Fire-type attacks. You know what this means, Trainer! Time to research Fire-type Pokémon. The more information we have about this type of Pokémon, the more clue we’ll have to determine whatever did all this damage. Meanwhile, I’ll continue following the trail of damage."''
 
* 3/5
:''"Thanks, <player>! You’ve been on fire when it comes to getting these research tasks done! Get it? You’re on fire? Anyway… the damage can’t have been caused by a Trainer Battle. I’ve never seen anything like it before. It seems almost… unnatural? Could it really have been causes by Pokémon? This is getting fascinating! Could you do some research on {{type|Water}} Pokémon for me? As I followed the damage trail further, the burned area suddenly ended and strange water damage started appearing, and it just doesn’t seem to line up with any Pokémon I’ve encountered."''
 
* 4/5
:''"<Player>, I’m so glad you’r back! We might have stumbled upon something incredible. I contacted one of my colleague in the [[Unova]] region. [[Professor Juniper|She]] shared some notes about a [[Mythical Pokémon]] called {{p|Genesect}} that was restored from a 300-million-year-old [[fossil]] and then altered. Pretty cool, huh? The notes say that though this Pokémon is {{t|Bug}} and {{t|Steel}} type, it’s known to be able to use attacks with types {{t|Fire}} and {{t|Water}}, among others. This lines up with the damage at the site we’ve been researching! One of the other types Genesect can attack with is {{type|Electric}} attack. I’ll see if anything else lies even farther down the trail, but in the meantime, I know I can count on you to start investigating Electric-type Pokémon to help us get to the bottom of this."''
 
* 5/5
:''"I can’t thank you enough for your help, <player>. You really are my Special Research good-luck charm! With the information you collected combined with the notes from Unova, I think we’ve uncovered the {{t|Bug}}- and {{t|Steel}}-type Pokémon Genesect! I know what you’re thinking: {{t|Bug}} AND {{t|Steel}} with such odd attack types? Apparently, when this Pokémon is holding a specially developed item called a [[Drive]], its {{m|Techno Blast}} attack changes to a type that corresponds to the Drive the Pokémon’s holding. I wonder what kind of Dives exist for this Pokémon. I still have so many questions, but for now, why not do a little research on {{type|Ice}} Pokémon? I hear Ice is another type Genesect can wield. You ought to take a [[GO Snapshot|snapshot]] of Genesect to commemorate your meeting, too!"''
 
===Celebrate 2019===
*Introduction
:''"How was 2019 for you, <player>? For me, it was a fantastic year, and I want to thank you and all our Trainers around the world for your hard work. Together, we took on Team GO Rocket, uncovered the Wish Pokémon, Jirachi, and began encountering Pokémon originally discovered in Unova. I want to make sure you know how proud I am of how much you and all the other Trainers have grown this last year! And now with 2020 on the horizon, there are sure to be many more adventures awaiting! Until then, let’s get up and GO!"''
 
===Community Day===
====Investigating Illusions====
* 1/4
:''"Good to see you again, <player>. Have you noticed an increased number of {{p|Abra}} in the area? Yes, so did I. I originally thought this strange phenomenon was happening due to Abra's ability to teleport. When Abra decides to teleport randomly, it creates the illusion that it's made copies of itself. However, what's happening right now really does seem to be a large number of Abra appearing in the wild! Let's research more about Abra and see what we can discover about the Psi Pokémon!"''
 
* 2/4
:''"Fantastic work, <player>! Are you having difficulty catching Abra you encounter? It's said that you must clear your mind if you want to catch an Abra. Or maybe you could ask your buddy for some catching assistance! I've got a few more things about Abra that I could use your help researching. How about you give me a hand, and I'll see if I can find a nice treat for your buddy?"''
 
* 3/4
:''"I'm sure your buddy appreciates that delicious [[Poffin]]! I'm more of a [[Pinap Berry]] man myself. While researching Abra, I read that it can sense danger and maintains a telepathic radar even while it's sleeping! What amazing abilities! Why don't you keep researching? As a token of my thanks, I'll give you one of the [[Rocket Radar]]s I've developed. While it won't give you Abra's ability to sense danger while sleeping, it will help you track down any trouble the {{tc|Team GO Rocket Leader}}s are stirring up."''
 
* 4/4
:''"Thank you again, <player>, for all your help today. It was incredible researching Abra with you. We learned so much about this {{type|Psychic}} Pokémon. Rumor has it that some lucky Trainers even encountered {{Shiny}} Abra in the wild! Pokémon are truly amazing creatures. There's always something to discover. Until next time, <player>!"''
 
====Seeing Double====
* 1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! You surprised me, much like the {{p|Seedot}} that just fell from that tree over there. It really scared a {{p|Pidgey}} that was foraging nearby, and I’m pretty sure it did that on purpose. It’s easy for Seedot to trick people and Pokémon alike because Seedot are almost indistinguishable from acorns. Are they appearing in higher numbers right now, or am I seeing double? Could you help me investigate this nutty situation?"''
 
* 2/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>! While you were away, I was just refreshing my memory on Seedot. Apparently, it attaches itself to a tree branch using the top of its head and sucks moisture from the tree it’s hanging from. The more water Seedot drinks, the glossier its body becomes. Thanks, Seedot, for reminding us to stay hydrated! Did you know that Seedot can evolve? AHHH! Sorry, I was just startled by another one.  Why don’t you try evolving Seedot? Maybe it’ll get calmer and stop playing pranks on everyone!"''
 
* 3/4
:''"On the one hand, fantastic work, Trainer. Your little Seedot has evolved into {{p|Nuzleaf}}, the Wily Pokémon. On the other hand, our plan to calm Seedot down by evolving it has backfired. Apparently, Nuzleaf can make a flute out of the leaf on its head, and the sound of that flute strikes fear and uncertainty into the hearts of people who hear it. I’m sorry. But I have faith that a brave Trainer like yourself can handle Nuzleaf just fine! Maybe if we try evolving it again...its next form will be less scary! Personally, I’ve been startled enough for one day of research!"''
 
* 4/4
:''"So...your Nuzleaf has evolved into {{p|Shiftry}}, the Wicked Pokémon. Unfortunately, upon reviewing data on Shiftry, I learned it can be quite fearsome, too. Using its leafy fan, Shiftry can create wind gusts with speeds of up to one hundred feet per second. That’s strong enough to level houses! I think I need to go tie my mobile lab down! I’d rather be surprised by a Seedot than blown away by a Shiftry! Hah...lesson learned—stay up-to-date with Pokémon, even familiar ones! Thank you for your help researching this odd occurrence. Once these winds die down, I’ll be in touch about our next research adventure!"''
 
 
====The Great Gastly====
* 1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! I'm glad you're here. Something odd is happening and I need your help investigating it. While I was on a walk last night with my [[Buddy]] Pokémon, {{p|Meltan}}, I noticed a strange light flickering in my mobile lab. It was so spooky! One might've called it...a gastly sight! Apparently, some {{p|Gastly}} were in my mobile lab hiding from the wind. It's common for them to take shelter when massive gusts are blowing about so their gaseous bodies aren't blown away. However, the sheer number of Gastly seemed unusual. They're still in the mobile lab, so could you help me look into this situation?"''
 
* 2/4
:''"Thank, <player>! While you were helping with our research, I was assisting the Gastly in the mobile lab. I had to be careful when I got near the Gastly. I don't want to be engulfed by their gaseous bodies! Now that the Gastly are out of the mobile lab, I think it's time for us to start looking into Gastly's Evolution. I've done some reading on the matter, and I think we'll need to prepare for a dangerous Pokémon."''
 
* 3/4
:''"Excellent work, <player>. Seems as though your Gastly has evolved into {{p|Haunter}}. I had a feeling I was being watched. It's said that Haunter lurks into walls to keep an eye on its foes, but in this case, I have a feeling it's just being playful. I've noticed the team leaders tripping and stumbling around the lab today. Seems as if Haunter is having a bit of fun with them, but I don't think {{OBP|Blanche|GO}} is amused. Let's go ahead and fix that problem by evolving Haunter."''
 
* 4/4
:''"Congrats, Trainer. Your Haunter has now become the Shadow Pokémon, {{p|Gengar}}! Are you ready for a spooky story? Let me get my flashlight. If you ever see your shadow suddenly and startlingly overtake you, it might be a Gengar running past you, pretending to be your shadow! Do you feel that chill in the air? That means a Gengar is near. OOOoooOOOooo... BOO! Hahaha, got you <player>! I crack myself up. Although...it looked for a second like there was a ghostly hand on your shoulder... Maybe it was just my imagination. Anyway, I know an accomplished Trainer such as yourself has nothing to fear when it comes to training a Pokémon like Gengar. Being both {{t|Poison}}- and {{type|Ghost}}, it's a fantastic Pokémon to have on your team. Thanks to your help, I think we all learned something today! I'll be in touch when I have another adventure for you!"''
 
====Making a Splash====
* 1/4
:''"Good to see you, <player>! Do you hear that sound? All morning, I've been hearing the distinct sound of splashing water. While somewhat relaxing, it's definitely not a normal thing to hear around the lab. Upon further investigation, I noticed an increased number of {{p|Magikarp}} in the wild. It was quite the sight to see so many of them splashing about. Guess it's time to GO fishing! Get it? Because Magikarp is the Fish Pokémon? Anyway, I think it'll be safe to approach Magikarp, as documentation indicates they're harmless. However, I see potential in this Pokémon. It's time to head out and investigate."''
 
* 2/4
:''"Great work, Trainer! While you were out, I did a bit of a refresher on Magikarp. Did you know that some Magikarp can jump so high, they can leap over a mountain? Now that's something I'd like to see! Also, while having a reputation for being worthless, this hardy Pokémon can thrive in any body of water, regardless of how dirty or polluted the water might be. I think Magikarp deserves a bit more credit, don't you think? Let's focus on evolving Magikarp, since doing so takes some effort. Maybe you should try using [[Pinap Berry|Pinap Berries]] when trying to catch Magikarp. Not only are Pinap Berries tasty, but they're quite useful as well!"''
 
* 3/4
:''"Good job, <player>. Thanks to the research you've completed, it's time to evolve that Magikarp of yours! Remember when I said that Magikarp is harmless? Well, that isn't the case with its evolved form, {{p|Gyarados}}. Known as the Atrocious Pokémon, Gyarados has a reputation for being destructive. Tales of its rampaging nature are consistent across all research materials we have on it. So much for being harmless, am I right? Of note, Gyarados is both {{t|Water}}- and {{type|Flying}}—something you might not expect from its humble beginnings. Looks like you'll add a powerful Pokémon to your team, but let's proceed with caution."''
 
* 4/4
:''"Wonderful work, <trainer>. Looks like all your efforts have paid off, and you've got yourself a Gyarados. I'm sure this Pokémon will be a great member of your team when battling other Trainers or even [[Team GO Rocket]]! Even though Gyarados is known for being vicious and extremely aggressive, a talented Trainer such as yourself will be able to befriend and train it so it can meet its full potential. I'm excited to see what kinds of challenges you'll demolish together! Just make sure that the demolition is limited to battles—not entire cities. Anyway, until next time!"''
 
====Decoding Porygon====
*1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! It’s great to see you again! I’m always grateful to have a helping hand with my research. Speaking of research, have you heard of {{p|Porygon}}, the Virtual Pokémon? Well, I’m not entirely sure why, but Porygon have been appearing more frequently in the area as of late! I’d like to take this opportunity to learn more about this odd Pokémon. How about it, Trainer? Will you go out and catch some Porygon for me?"''
 
*2/4
:''"Fantastic work, <player>! I was able to review the data you collected, and I discovered that Porygon is made entirely of programming code! Other reports I dug up mention that it was created by a group of scientists using state-of-the-art technology. Can you believe it? A man-made Pokémon! Porygon have made a name for themselves by protecting cyberspace from suspicious activity! For something artificial, they sure do seem caring. Maybe I should keep a Porygon around in case [[Team GO Rocket]] tries a digital take-over... Well, in the meantime, I’d like to learn more about Porygon’s evolved form, {{p|Porygon2}}. I have a hunch that you’ll need to use an [[Upgrade]] to evolve Porygon. Let's get back out there and see if we can't find one!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Excellent work, <player>! Thanks to your efforts, I’ve realized just how different Porygon2 is from Porygon. According to my findings, further research and the implementation of artificial intelligence into its code allowed Porygon2 to develop the ability to learn independent of its programming. The power of science is just astounding, isn’t it? These reports also mention that Porygon2 was upgraded to enable extraterrestrial exploration and planetary development, though it has yet to accomplish much. I wonder what this means for Porygon’s final Evolution, {{p|Porygon-Z}}? For your next batch of research, I want you to evolve Porygon2 into Porygon-Z using a [[Sinnoh Stone]]. Good luck out there, Trainer!"''
 
*4/4
:''"Congrats on evolving your Porygon2 into a Porygon-Z, <player>! I’ve uncovered some notes about this Pokémon that I thought you’d find interesting. According to reports, an update was added to Porygon-Z’s programming that was supposed to allow it to move between dimensions. But the upgrade also caused Porygon-Z to become unstable, and it began behaving erratically. Because the update caused instability, academics can’t seem to agree on whether Porygon-Z should be considered a true Evolution of Porygon2. It’s going to take a bit of time to file away all this research, but I’m thrilled we were able to learn more about Porygon and its Evolutions! Your hard work is always appreciated, <player>, and I’ll be in touch as soon as I’m in need of another inquisitive eye! Until then, let’s GO!"''
 
====A Tale of Tails====
*1/5
:''"Hey there, <player>! I hope you and your fellow Trainers have been taking care of yourselves. Remember to take a break every now and then to do something you really enjoy! I like to go on short walks, myself. In fact, I was out for a stroll with my Buddy Pokémon earlier when I heard a strange crackling sound. Upon further inspection, I realized it was a large group of {{p|Charmander}} gathered in an open field! The source of the noise was the soft crackling of their tail flames. Seeing so many Charmander at once was highly unusual, though [[Community Day#List of Community Day events|this wasn’t the first time I’ve witnessed such a gathering]]... Well, whatever the reason, this is the perfect chance to learn more about Charmander! Would you mind giving me a hand by catching some, Trainer?"''
 
*2/5
:''"Wonderful work, Trainer. While you were out in the field, I looked through some research focused on Charmander and its Evolutionary line and came away with some interesting information. For starters, Charmander is also known as the Lizard Pokémon and seems to be fond of hot things. You can tell how a Charmander is feeling by looking at the flame burning at the tip of its tail. What a fascinating Pokémon! Hmmm... Perhaps those Charmander I ran into while walking were gathered to enjoy the sun? We may be able to learn more by evolving one. Charmander’s evolved form is {{p|Charmeleon}}—but be careful when evolving Charmander! Charmeleon is known for its fiery temper!"''
 
*3/5
:''"That’s a fine Charmeleon you’ve got with you, <player>! Known as the Flame Pokémon, Charmeleon is hotheaded by nature and is constantly seeking out worthy opponents for battle. When it finally encounters a worthy foe, it becomes so excited that the flame at the tip of its tail flares up and turns a bluish-white color. The easiest way to calm a Charmeleon down is by winning a battle. That sure sounds like a certain team leader I know!  Now, did you know Charmeleon can evolve? Not only that, but its evolved form, {{p|Charizard}}, is also known as the Flame Pokémon! Come back and see me once you’ve evolved your Charmeleon."''
 
*4/5
:''"Congrats, Trainer! Your Charmeleon has now become the Flame Pokémon Charizard! Charizard is a truly amazing Pokémon. Its wings can carry it close to an altitude of 4,600 feet, and its fiery breath packs such great heat that it can melt almost anything! While all that raw power seems intimidating, Charizard never turns its flames on any opponent weaker than itself. What a superb display of control! It’s amazing to see how this Pokémon chooses to take on only the mightiest of opponents! They say the key to a successful partnership is a powerful bond, Trainer, so why not celebrate by spending a little time with your new Charizard?"''
 
*5/5
:''"I can see you’re really putting an effort into strengthening the bond between you and your Pokémon, <player>. Did you know that that bond can become a source of power for certain Pokémon? That’s right—I’m talking about [[Mega Evolution]]! Mega Evolution is the result of a strong connection between a Pokémon and its Trainer. Charizard is unique not only because it can Mega Evolve but also because it has two different Mega-Evolved forms! Its two Mega Evolutions, [[Mega Charizard X]] and [[Mega Charizard Y]], each come with their own strengths. It’s said that the overwhelming power dwelling within Mega Charizard X is so intense that it turns its body black and causes blue flames to spill from its mouth. Other research suggests that Mega Charizard Y uses its bond with its Trainer as the source of its power, resulting in speed and maneuverability greater than that of a fighter jet’s. Simply amazing! I can’t wait to see how Trainers use these Mega Evolutions in their Gym battle strategies! Thanks again for your help, <player>. I’ll be in touch as soon as I have more exciting research to share!"''
 
====Electric for Electabuzz====
 
*1/4
:''"I’ve been dealing with some strange power outages in my mobile lab and wanted to investigate what could be causing them. It didn’t take me long to find the cause. Seems as though a group of {{p|Electabuzz}} decided that the mobile lab’s electricity would make an excellent snack. Electabuzz seem to be appearing in higher numbers, which could lead to more outages. Do you think you could catch some of these Pokémon? The research would be valuable, and I’d be grateful to have my power restored!"''
 
*2/4
:''"Thanks for the assistance—I really appreciate it! While you were out catching Electabuzz, I did some research on this Pokémon’s Evolutionary line. Did you know that Electabuzz evolves from {{p|Elekid}}? A weak electric current flows between Elekid’s horns. Be careful, Trainer! Sticking a hand between its horns will shock you! Hmm... I wonder whether [[Spark (GO)|Spark]] has tried that with his Buddy Pokémon... Anyway, let’s keep researching these Electabuzz and make sure they aren’t snacking on any electricity meant for other uses!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Also known as the Electric Pokémon, it loves to feed on strong electricity. That explains why so many Electabuzz were attracted to my mobile lab. Electricity runs across the surface of Electabuzz’s body. In darkness, its entire body glows a whitish blue. Simply amazing! Let’s continue our research. Go ahead and use a Sinnoh Stone to evolve Electabuzz into {{p|Electivire}}! I can’t wait to see what electrifying facts we’ll learn about that Evolution!"''
 
*4/4
:''"I just don’t ever know whether they find my jokes funny... Should I take a comedy class? OH! I didn’t see you there, <player>. I see you’ve evolved your Electabuzz into Electivire like I asked. Thank you! According to the Pokédex, as Electivire’s electric charge amplifies, blue sparks begin to crackle between its horns. When in battle, Electivire pushes the tips of its two tails against its foe, then lets loose with over 20,000 volts of power. I guess you could say its opponent is in for a shock! Be careful with this Pokémon when battling with it—that’s a lot of power you’re dealing with! With the lights back on in the mobile lab, I’m going to head back and wrap up some other projects."''
 
====No Match for Magmar====
 
*1/4
:''"Ah, <player>! Perfect timing. I’ve just encountered something strange! I’ve been feeling a bit warm lately, so I walked to a nearby clearing to enjoy the cool breeze—but the temperature seemed to rise as I arrived! Curious, isn’t it? I suspect it’s the work of a certain Pokémon. There’s one that’s known to dislike cold areas so much, it’ll blow scorching flames to heat up its surroundings. I believe there are large groups of this particular Pokémon appearing all over the place right now. Ah, you’re wondering which Pokémon I’m talking about? I think I’ll keep that to myself for now. But here—I'll write it on this piece of paper, and we can check later to see if I was right! Can you go investigate and let me know what you find? Thanks, Trainer!"''
 
*2/4
:''"As promised, I’ll now reveal my guess as to which Pokémon is responsible for these recent temperature spikes. As you can see, I wrote down...{{p|Magmar}}! My intuition is pretty “lit,” eh? Am I using that ri—AH! Wow, that little fireball turned my paper straight to ash! Anyway, it seems the cause of these irregular warm fronts is indeed Magmar, the Spitfire Pokémon. When it breathes deeply, heat waves form around its body, making it hard to see clearly. Isn’t that just incredible? And to think that this intimidating Pokémon evolves from the adorable {{p|Magby}}, the Live Coal Pokémon! As adorable as Magby is, though, field studies have shown that whenever it inhales and exhales, hot embers dribble out of its mouth and nostrils. Still doesn’t stop me from trying to hug it! Anyway, <player>, you should try evolving your Magmar! Check in with me again before you do, though—I’ll have more hot tips for you then."''
 
*3/4
:''"You’re almost there, <player>! Soon, you’ll have yourself a {{p|Magmortar}}, the Blast Pokémon. Exciting stuff! Watch out for the ends of its arms, though—they can produce fireballs as hot as 3,600 degrees Fahrenheit! Yowch! Can you imagine if you could blast fireballs out of your arms? Fwoosh! Fwoosh! Hahaha! Hey, that’s pretty fun! Fwoosh! There I go getting fired up about Pokémon again. Get it? “Fired up”? Haha, my hot streak continues! Anyway, with this [[Sinnoh Stone]] and the Magmar [[Candy]] you’ve acquired, you should be able to evolve your Magmar into Magmortar pretty soon—so keep up the great work, <player>! "''
 
*4/4
:''"Excellent work, <player>! Looks like you’ve got your very own Magmortar. Magmortar, like Magby and Magmar, tends to live in volcanos. Its body can even take on a whitish hue from the intense heat generated by the fireballs it shoots from the ends of its arms! Wow, learning about Magmar and its Evolutionary line has really lit a fire in my heart. I need to get back to my research, pronto! See you around, <player>!"''
 
====December Community Day====
 
*1/4
:''"Hello there, <player>! It’s so great to see you. Can you believe this year is already coming to a close? It’s almost as if Pokémon in the wild can feel it, too. A few seem to be appearing in greater numbers than usual! Strangely enough, the Pokémon appearing more frequently at the moment seem to be the same as those that did so previously throughout this year. Seeing all these Abra, Rhyhorn, and Piplup in the wild is making me a bit nostalgic. We’ve had quite a year, haven’t we? As you venture out to catch these Pokémon, I think it might be nice to reminisce on some of the highlights from this year and how much you’ve grown as a Pokémon Trainer along the way. Who knows—you might even surprise yourself!"''
 
*2/4
:''"Great job catching all those Abra, Rhyhorn, and Piplup, Trainer. As you were doing that, I was busy thinking about all we’ve accomplished together this year. We discovered the secrets of trade Evolution and met a vast variety of Pokémon originally discovered in the Unova region. We even encountered Legendary Pokémon like Tornadus, Thundurus, Reshiram, Zekrom, Landorus, and Kyurem! Then there were the Pokémon originally discovered in the Galar region. I was particularly excited to see Galarian Ponyta, Galarian Rapidash, and Sirfetch’d! Oh! And who could forget the mysterious appearance of Mega-Evolved Pokémon? Hard to believe we fit all that into one year, eh, <player>? Anyway, I’ve rambled on long enough. It’s time for you to get back out there and catch some more Pokémon!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Ah—Weedle, Gastly, and Seedot. The stars of some memorable days this past year! I still get a bit jumpy at the sight of acorns. Haha! Gastly gave us a bit of a fright as well. Remember? OOOooooOOOoooo… BOO! Haha, sorry—I couldn’t help it. You know, Gastly isn’t the only gaseous thing we saw in abundance this year. That’s right—I’m talking about Team GO Rocket taking to the sky in balloons! An almost cartoonish mode of transportation, and yet surprisingly effective. You know, if the members of Team GO Rocket weren’t so devoted to villainy, their assets and energy would likely make them great allies. I hope that world comes to be someday. Ah, pardon my wistfulness. I tend to get more and more pensive as the day wears on. Does that happen to you as well? Perhaps you can ponder that while you go out and catch more Pokémon, <player>!"''
 
*4/4
:''"It’s certainly been an interesting year, hasn’t it, <player>? I can’t remember another one like it, and I’ve seen a few! But despite all the ways it’s challenged us, I can’t help but think that it’ll make future experiences feel even more precious and special. After all, no matter what happens, we’re all on this Pokémon journey together—every Trainer, regardless of where they are in the world. That’s truly something special. So when the going gets tough, remember that you’re not in this alone. And while bad days are inevitable, I like to think they make the good ones that much sweeter. I hope today has been one of the good ones for you! The world is ever-changing, <player>. What doesn’t change, however, is the fact that we have each other and our Pokémon. And as the mysterious world of Pokémon continues to grow, so do we—as Trainers, as a community, and as people. So here’s to a year for the books—and many more exciting ones to come!"''
 
====Straight to the Top, Machop!====
*1/4
:''"Oh! <player>, you caught me by surprise. I was just thinking about some movies I’ve seen recently. What, you didn’t take me for a movie guy? Haha! Well, while the world of Pokémon is my greatest passion, I’ve been trying to explore my interests outside of research and Pokémon as well. Self-discovery is important for personal growth in all walks of life. It can also be quite fun! I’ve learned that I really enjoy watching a film to pass the time now and again. Also, a lot of movies feature Pokémon! Don’t you love it when your interests overlap? I saw an incredibly thrilling action movie the other day. It was about a fighter who, against all odds, becomes a professional boxer alongside his trusty Machop. Life had him on the ropes, but he just kept punching back! Talk about inspiring. Did you know that Machop love to work out and build their muscles? They’re never satisfied, even when they train hard all day long! I wish I had that energy when I do fieldwork! Speaking of Machop: Did you notice that more of them are appearing in the wild? That’s what reminded me of that movie in the first place! Could you head out and learn more about Machop?"''
 
*2/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! Great job catching all those Machop. I wonder if you’ll grow as close as the two characters in that movie. The main character started in a pretty tough place, but his Machop kept him motivated and inspired. Then, he was given an incredible opportunity to compete against other fighters. My favorite part was when his Machop evolved into Machoke! Isn’t the relationship between a Trainer and their Pokémon wonderful? Machoke are truly remarkable Pokémon, too. A Machoke’s muscular body is so powerful, the Pokémon must wear a power-save belt to regulate its motions. As it happens, you should have enough Machop Candies now to evolve Machop into a Machoke of your own. It’s almost like you’re living out that movie yourself!"''
 
*3/4
:''"Wow—that’s one muscular Machoke! Great work evolving it. Sometimes, Machoke will head to fields and mountains to exercise and train. Isn’t that dedication amazing? It reminds me of a training montage in that film. The Trainer and his Machoke traveled to the mountains to train together. Watching their friendship blossom almost moved me to tears! The way they encouraged each other reminded me why I love Pokémon, especially when the Machoke evolved into Machamp! Oops, there I go again… Anyway, Machop and Machoke are very impressive Pokémon, but Machamp is on an entirely different level. Its four arms react more quickly than it can think, so Machamp can execute several punches at once! Hoo-hah! That was the movie Machamp’s signature move. Haha, who knew I’d become such a film buff? Get it? Buff? Moving right along... How about you do a bit of research on Machamp? Your Machoke seems pumped to get stronger. Let’s try evolving it into Machamp and see what happens!"''
 
*4/4
:''"Wow, <player>! I saw you approaching with your newly evolved Machamp, and I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. It was just like the end of that movie! The Trainer ended up winning the tournament, and he couldn’t have done it without his Machamp by his side. Movies are so powerful! Especially ones about Pokémon and their Trainers. I suppose you and Machamp don’t need to watch that particular film, though—you practically lived it today! It’s been inspiring to witness, and I hope to carry that inspiration with me as I grow closer to my own Pokémon. You never know what you’ll discover about yourself when you try new things—just like how you never know which Pokémon you’ll end up forming a lifelong friendship with until you catch them! Thanks for coming along with me on this journey, Trainer. I wish you and your Machamp well, and I’ll see you next time. Let’s GO!"''
 
====Stop and Smell the Roselia====
*1/4
:''"Ahhh… Do you smell that, Trainer? I first caught a whiff of that curious aroma as I was out on my daily morning walk. Upon investigation, I discovered that the scent was being produced by an uncommonly large group of {{p|Roselia}} that had assembled nearby. Did you know you can judge a Roselia’s health by the strength of its aroma? Well, let me tell you—those were VERY healthy Roselia! But while they certainly smell nice and look pretty, I advise you to take care when encountering them. The thorns on Roselia’s head contain a vicious poison, and it can launch them at any opponent bold enough to try to steal the flowers on its arms. Every rose, as they say! It’s unusual to see so many Roselia in one place. Would you mind assisting me in researching this phenomenon?"''
 
*2/4
:''"Welcome back, <player>! While you were out in the field, I did some reading on Roselia. When it comes to Pokémon, new discoveries are being made all the time—so it’s important to make sure your information is up to date. Roselia, the Thorn Pokémon, evolves from {{p|Budew}}, the Bud Pokémon. Budew is sensitive to changes in temperature, and its bud is said to bloom when warmed by the sun. It’s also both {{t|Grass}} and {{t|Poison}} type, much like Roselia. In reviewing these two Pokémon, I remembered something tremendously exciting! I still need to conduct a bit more research before sharing my findings, however. Would you mind assisting me?"''
 
*3/4
:''"As aromatic Pokémon go, we’re pretty fortunate it’s Roselia appearing en masse and not, say, {{p|Muk}}. A big group of Muk gathered under the sun… The whole place would smell like baked garbage! Oh! Hey there, <player>. Didn’t realize you were back. I found that interesting bit of information I wanted to share with you. According to my research, Roselia that drink nutritionally rich springwater are said to reveal rare coloration when they bloom. Isn’t that fascinating? Have you seen anything like that while you’ve been out doing research? You seem to have a lucky streak, so I wouldn’t put it past you! Now that you’re back, I’d like you to evolve a Roselia with the [[Sinnoh Stone]] I gave you."''
 
*4/4
:''"Great work, Trainer! Your Roselia has evolved into the Bouquet Pokémon, {{p|Roserade}}! It moves like a dancer and strikes with whips that are densely lined with poison thorns. Oh, and have you noticed that each of Roserade’s hands is a different color? Each contains a different toxin. The poison in its right hand is quick acting, while the poison in its left hand is slow acting. What an amazing Pokémon! Thanks for all your assistance today, Trainer. Documenting situations like this is essential to learning more about the Pokémon in the world around us. Until next time, let’s GO!"''
 
===Throwback Challenge Champion 2020 and Throwback Challenge Celebration 2020===
* 1/5
:''"Hi there, <player>. I can't help but be impressed by your progress. You've done fantastic work in researching Pokémon originally discovered in the [[Kanto]], [[Johto]], [[Hoenn]], and [[Sinnoh]] [[region]]s. Now that we've researched Pokémon that were found in those regions... let's take a closer look at Pokémon originally discovered in the [[Unova]] region! I think it's fascinating that even though we know a lot about Pokémon from all over the world, there's always more to learn! Speaking of discoveries, I've been doing some additional research and heard about an interesting phenomenon that has to do with {{p|Meowth}} in the [[Galar]] region. I was speaking with a [[Sonia|researcher]] who's the granddaughter of a [[Professor Magnolia|colleague]] from Galar, and she shared some intriguing information. It seems that Galarian Meowth lived with seafaring people, which toughened their bodies so much that parts of them turned to iron. May be I could get a few workout tips—I've been looking to some ways to toughen up myself! Anyway...let's do some more research on Pokémon originally discovered in Unova, but be sure to keep your eyes open for other exciting discoveries."''
 
* 2/5
:''"Wonderful work, Trainer. You might be familiar with the tradition in which a Pokémon Trainer selects their very first partner from a group of three Pokémon. These first-partner Pokémon are normally {{t|Fire}}, {{t|Water}} or {{t|Grass}} types. In Unova, many Trainers choose the {{type|Water}} {{p|Oshawott}} as their first-partner Pokémon. This Sea Otter Pokémon is known to use the scalchop on its stomach during battle. Isn't that just adorable? Please continue your research, and let me know your findings."''
 
* 3/5
:''"I can't stop thinking about how cute Oshawott is— Oh! You're back! Excellent work catching that Patrat! Now that we've researched the Water-type first-partner Pokémon of many Unovan Trainers, let's shift focus to the Fire-type one—Tepig! I'm a particular fan of Tepig because it uses the fireballs that come from its nose to roast Berries. It's such a clever use of an ability. I just love roasted Pinap Berries! We should continue our work and see what else we can discover."''
 
* 4/5
:''"Being the savvy Trainer you are, I'm sure you know which type of Pokémon we're going to research next. That's right—Grass type! In Unova, many Trainers choose Snivy, the Grass Snake Pokémon, as their first partner. Snivy is intelligent and calm, and being exposed to lots of sunlight makes it move more swiftly. Perhaps there's a lot we could learn from such a sagacious Pokémon! Anyway, let's get started on these research tasks. Be sure to listen carefully, as you never know what you might encounter!"''
 
* 5/5
:''"You're a natural, <player>. I'm so glad we could research some of the amazing Pokémon originally discovered in the Unova region. I can't thank you enough for your hard work. I hope you put this Charged TM and Fast TM to good use! By the way, I literally stumbled across a mysterious Pokémon I've never encountered before. I think you're the perfect Trainer to take this Pokémon and help it reach its potential. Best of luck, and I'll be in touch soon!"''
 
===A Mega Discovery===
* 1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! I think I've got an exciting adventure for you. I've been working on something...BIG. Recently, we observed a large number of {{p|Weedle}} appearing in the wild. I wanted to investigate that phenomenon further. After a day of research, I saw something sparkling in the tall grass near where the Weedle were gathering. It turned out to be a smooth, stonelike object with a symbol etched into it. It glowed with an energy I've never encountered before! I'd seen that symbol before in documents about [[Mega Evolution]] that I received from my colleague in [[Kalos]], [[Professor Sycamore]]. That led me to believe that the object was somehow related. After digging further into the documents, I theorized that Pokémon can Mega Evolve using the energy from the object I found, which I named [[Mega Energy]]. It also occurred to me that the object I found might be related to Weedle. Now that I've caught you up on my BIG discovery, let's get started on some research. We'll need a Weedle--I think that Pokémon has mega potential!"''
 
* 2/4
:''"Great work, <player>! Let's document our findings for other Trainers. Now, Weedle can't Mega Evolve, but its final Evolution, {{p|Beedrill}}, can. My theory is that there is Mega Energy for different Pokémon and that each Pokémon needs a certain amount of Mega Energy to Mega Evolve. It also seems that Mega-Evolved Pokémon return to normal once their Mega Energy is depleted. It may be difficult to gather the Mega Energy needed to Mega Evolve a Pokémon for the first time. However, it seems that once a Pokémon has Mega Evolved, it requires less Mega Energy to do so again. Maybe it's because Mega Evolution strengthens a Trainer's bond with their Pokémon. Let's continue this investigation. How about you evolve your Weedle to its final Evolution and see whether you can find enough Mega Energy to Mega Evolve your new Beedrill."''
 
* 3/4
:''"Again, you never cease to amaze me, <player>. I think you and Beedrill are going to be great partners. I've learned that some other Pokémon can Mega Evolve, too. While I've been able to confirm only a fez, I'm sure we'll discover more in time. At this point, you should be able to Mega Evolve your Beedrill, if you're read. Now, I'm sure you are going to ask, "Professor Willow, how do I get Mega Energy for other Pokémon?" Well, don't worry, Trainer. Mega {{p|Venusaur}}, Mega {{p|Charizard}}, and Mega {{p|Blastoise}} are appearing in [[Mega Raid]]s all around the world. It appears you can get Mega Energy by challenging those Mega-Evolved Pokémon. Why don't you Mega Evolve your Beedrill and battle with it in Mega Raids? There seem to be benefits to battling in raids alongside Mega-Evolved Pokémon for both you and your fellow Trainers. I'm curious to see what effect Mega-Evolved Pokémon have on other Pokémon when they battle together. Why don't you give it a try!"''
 
* 4/4
:''"I dare to say, this was a successful research project! It looks like you were able to acquire some Mega Energy by battling those Mega-Evolved Pokémon. I've documented that you and your Mega-Evolved Pokémon can do many other things together, too. I hope to see you and your Mega-Evolved Pokémon battling at Gyms, challenging other Trainers, combating Team GO Rocket, and, of course, taking some snapshots to send back to yours truly. Mega-Evolved Pokémon are extremely powerful, so I think it's best that we don't bring our new friends into the [[GO Battle League]] just yet, at least until more research is done. I wanted to give you a token of my appreciation for all your hard work on this project—a [[Mega Bracelet]]. In other regions, Trainers use Mega Bracelets to help their Pokémon Mega Evolve. Based on my research into Mega Energy, it seems you won't need a Mega Bracelet to Mega Evolve your Pokémon. However, I thought a Mega Bracelet would be a trendy way to show off your Mega Evolution skills. You can check it out when you want to change up your look. I hope you accept this gift with my sincerest thanks for a job well done. Until next time, let's GO!"''
 
===City Spotlight 2020===
* 1/1
:''"It's time to explore with your buddy, <player>! I'm excited to do the same with my trusty Buddy Pokémon too. It’s easy to take the familiar for granted. Where we live our lives and spend most our time can quickly become mundane, but with a spirit of adventure and a friend by your side--anything can be an adventure! And even the familiar can hide exciting new things to discover! Let's GO and explore your city together, Trainer."''
 
===Level Up Challenges===
====Level 43 Challenge====
* 1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! Can I just say how impressed I am with your progress as a Trainer? You've really put in the time and effort to become one of the very best. Well done! Say, do you remember when we first met? You were just a beginner back then, and I sent you off to catch your very first Pokémon. And look at you now! I'm glad we can share that memory together. Now, I'm sure an elite Trainer like yourself has mastered the art of catching Pokémon, but it's important to keep your skills sharp. How about you head out and catch some Pokémon? I've assigned some tasks that should challenge even a Trainer of your caliber. Good luck—and have fun!"''
 
* 2/4
:''"Good work as always, <player>. I'm sure those tasks were a breeze for someone with your skills, but they were just a warm-up! These next tasks should prove a bit more challenging. I'm sure you've built special bonds with several Pokémon over the course of your adventures. I'd like to see how powerful those bonds are. Why don't you head out, challenge a few Team GO Rocket Grunts, and battle in some raids? After all, the best Trainers never stop training! Good luck!"''
 
* 3/4
:''"How did it go, <player>? I’m sure you had a great time working with your closest Pokémon companions. It’s always fascinating to see how Trainers and Pokémon work together, and I can tell that you take a lot of pride in training your team. Well done! Say, why don’t you evolve some of the Pokémon you’ve caught so they can reach their full potential? You might even discover some new options for battles. Enough about that, though—back to our research! This next batch will test your Pokémon-catching skills again, but with a twist. Or perhaps I should say a curve? Haha! That’s right—you’ll need to test your skills with Curvball Throws! Make sure to stretch your throwing arm!"''
 
* 4/4
:''"Nice work, Trainer! I can tell you put a lot of effort into that research. I have Blanche assisting me with the analysis and care of all those Pokémon you sent over. It’s an impressive display of your progress, Trainer, and it’s caught Blanche’s eye as well. Anyway, I should probably get back to work. But before I go, I want to say how nice it was to reminisce about our first memories as professor and Trainer. I’m truly proud of you and how much you’ve grown! I know you’re far from finished on that front, too, so I’ll be watching closely as you progress and checking in whenever I have more challenges for you. Until then, <player>…let’s GO!"''
 
====Level 45 Challenge====
* 1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>! I wanted to check in on your progress. It looks like you’ve grown even more as a Trainer since we last spoke! As for me, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my Buddy Pokémon lately, and it’s helped me think of some new research opportunities. Do you remember your first Buddy Pokémon? I remember mine—it was the mysterious Hex Nut Pokémon Meltan! I still remember the day it earned its very own Best Buddy ribbon. That’s a proud moment in any Trainer’s journey, don’t you think? Meltan and I have been around the block a few times, but I still look forward to the next PokéStop we’ll visit. Why don’t you and your buddy go out and visit some of your favorite places together? "''
 
* 2/4
:''"Hope you enjoyed a few walks together with your buddy, Trainer. Did you come across any interesting PokéStops? I was inspired to head outdoors myself. I joined Spark and his buddy for a long walk after he won a battle. I even took a celebratory snapshot to mark the occasion! Going on walks together can be a great way to strengthen your bond with your Pokémon. It’s also a wonderful form of exercise! Seeing the bond Spark shares with his Pokémon gave me some ideas for more research. Oh, and Spark also wanted me to let you know that he’s cheering you on! How about you and your buddy go out for a walk, challenge another Trainer and their Pokémon to battle, and take a few snapshots to capture some fun moments together? Working hard is important, but so is savoring the memories made along the way! Have fun!"''
 
* 3/4
:''"Did you make any fun memories with your Pokémon, <player>? I’m always amazed by the variety in the snapshots taken by Trainers from all over the world. I’m especially fond of ones that capture surprise encounters with Pokémon like Smeargle! That’s one of the best parts of taking snapshots—you never know what you’re going to see! Hmm… That reminds me of when Team GO Rocket decided to start showing up in Trainers’ snapshots uninvited. And THAT reminds me of some more research I need your help with! To start, why don’t you and your buddy get warmed up with some raids? When you’re ready, I think we’ll need some help clearing out the Team GO Rocket Leaders in the area. They’re always up to something, so it’s good to keep an eye out in case they try to take over any nearby PokéStops. Good luck!"''

:''"Fantastic work, <player>. The Team GO Rocket Leaders are a challenge for most Trainers, but I knew they wouldn’t stand a chance against you and your Buddy Pokémon! The power of friendship is strong indeed—and just one of many benefits to building relationships with your Pokémon. The trust between a Trainer and their Pokémon is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Make sure to cherish it! I’m glad I was able to check in on your progress, Trainer. I’ll be back with more fun challenges as you continue your journey. Until next time!"''
 
====Level 48 Challenge====
 
* 1/4
:''"Hey there, <player>. I can see you’ve been working as hard as ever! We’ve been doing a lot of reminiscing lately, haven’t we? I think it’s important to look back on your accomplishments from time to time—especially when you’ve accomplished so much! A major moment for many Trainers is their first victory in battle. It’s an unforgettable thrill that comes with a swell of pride for the Pokémon that sealed the victory. How about you, <player>? I’m sure you’ve got some epic battle stories to share with your fellow Trainers. I’d like to focus on your battling skills for this next challenge. So to prepare, why don’t you get your team sorted and get in some throwing practice?"''
 
* 2/4
:''"You clearly have some powerful Pokémon, Trainer. You’ve done an amazing job training them! I wanted to see how your battling skills have progressed, so I consulted with Candela to get her thoughts. I’m happy to report that she’s just as proud of you as I am! For this next challenge, she suggested taking on some of her most difficult opponents—Team GO Rocket and its leaders. The Team GO Rocket Leaders can be intimidating, so Candela asked me to pass along some extra guidance. She said that when it comes to battling, you should take on your opponents with a cool head, strong Pokémon, and a heart full of passion. With that in mind, I think it’s time for you head out and put your skills to the test!"''
 
* 3/4
:''"Wonderful work, <player>! Your battling skills are even more impressive than the last time we talked. Those skills are vital not only when you take on Team GO Rocket but also when you battle in raids. Do you remember your first raid, Trainer? To me, there’s something special about a group of Trainers coming together to challenge a raid with their partner Pokémon. There’s no questioning the importance of the bonds Trainers share with their Pokémon, but I think the bonds Trainers share with their peers are equally important. No matter your skill level, what team you’re on, or the Pokémon you bring to battle, raids are about each Trainer working together to achieve a common goal. And that’s what the Trainer community is all about! I hope that inspired you to head out and challenge some raids with your fellow Trainers—because that’s part of your next task! It should be a fun challenge, so be sure to give it your best shot!"''
 
* 4/4
:''"Excellent work, Trainer. Did you enjoy spending time with your fellow Trainers as you completed your tasks? Hopefully you even found a Pokémon that’ll make a great addition to your team! I hope you continue making memories with Trainers from all over as you work together and explore this amazing world filled with Pokémon. Very few Trainers have made it as far as you have. Be sure to take a moment to celebrate your progress. And remember—the journey is just as important as the destination! Until next time, <player>!"''
 
====Level 50 Challenge====
* 1/4
:''"I knew I’d see you here before long, <player>. But before we begin this challenge, let’s take a couple deep breaths together, shall we? In... And out... One more time. In... And out... There, that’s better. A few deep breaths go a long way when you need to clear your mind and focus on the task at hand—and you’ll need plenty of focus for what I’ll be throwing your way next. Get it? "Throwing"? Ahem! Anyway... The sign of a truly great Trainer is their dedication to training, and true dedication takes time to prove. Your next few tasks will take some time to complete, but don’t worry. Start with a deep breath, and be sure to enjoy yourself! Training can be hard work, but don’t forget it’s supposed to be fun, too."''
 
* 2/4
:''"Impressive work, Trainer! I don’t know many who would have the dedication and patience to complete those tasks. Say, I was just thinking... Do you remember when you decided which team you wanted to join? Trainers often form a strong connection to their team and become dedicated members. Others, however, eventually look to change teams in hopes of gaining a different perspective and a fresh challenge. Everyone's path is different, and I'll always encourage you to find your own. There’s much to be learned from Team Instinct, Team Mystic, and Team Valor. Each team has its own unique characteristics and focus. I urge you to learn from your fellow Trainers and respect their paths. It's sure to help you become a better Trainer! After all, only when we understand others can we truly understand ourselves. Now, back to your research. I have a feeling this next batch will truly test your resolve, so take your time—we'll regroup when you’re finished!"''
 
* 3/4
:''"Welcome back, Trainer. You certainly showed your dedication by completing those tasks. Which did you find most difficult? And which was most fun? We're approaching the end of this challenge, and I'm not ashamed to say it's making me a bit emotional! The team leaders and I feel an immense sense of pride when we see how much you’ve grown. I hope you feel that pride in yourself, <player>. To wrap up this challenge, each team leader wanted you to experience some of their most beloved activities. Spark wants you to enjoy a walk with your buddy to enhance your bond, and Blanche hopes to remind you of the importance of research and analysis by asking you to evolve some of your Pokémon to their full potential. As for Candela... Well, she wants to celebrate with you after you win some raids. I think these are great tasks for a well-rounded Trainer like yourself. I'll be here to congratulate you when you’re done!"''
 
* 4/4
:''"Amazing. Simply amazing, <player>! Let me be the first to congratulate you for completing this challenge. You’ve become a truly top-class Trainer, and it’s been an honor to work alongside you. It's been astonishing to witness the growth you've experienced since you began your journey as a Pokémon Trainer. You're an incredible talent, and I hope you'll put your skills to use. You see, I want you to help other Trainers become the best they can be. Your experience comes with a lot of responsibility, and I hope you'll continue to show kindness, patience, and friendship to those who could benefit from your guidance. The world of Pokémon is a beautiful place, and I want you to lead by example and show everyone how amazing our community can be while protecting it from the likes of Team GO Rocket and anyone else who would threaten it. Remember how it felt the first time you caught a Pokémon, the first time you took a walk with your buddy, the first time you challenged a raid—and channel that energy into everything you do. With your strong heart and peerless determination, there's nothing you can't do! I can only hope you're as proud of yourself as the team leaders and I are of you. Don't worry—I'll always be here when you need me, and you can be sure I’ll be calling on you from time to time to help me with research. There’s always something more to discover, after all! Thanks for everything, <player>. I know I can always count on you! And I'm sure you know what I'm about to say, so before I get too choked up—let's GO!"''
 
===Tap... Tap... Tappity-Tap...===
 
*1/5
:''"<Player>! It’s so great to see you! The strangest things have been happening lately. You see, I begin each day with a [[Pinap Berry]] and coffee for breakfast, then head outside my lab to take in the crisp morning air before starting my research. A couple days ago, however, I stepped outside and slipped on a sheet of ice right outside the entrance of my lab! Coffee—spilled. Pinap Berry—squished. Day—ruined. At first, I thought the ice formed because it was an especially chilly day, but it was in fact nowhere near cold enough to create a sheet of ice that thick! For my sake—and my breakfast’s—can you help me research {{type|Ice}} Pokémon to see whether we can discover anything? *sniffle* My poor breakfast..."''
 
*2/5
:''"Great work, <player>! We’ve learned quite a bit about {{type|Ice}} Pokémon, and it looks as if you’ve caught a few interesting ones! I feel like we’re getting closer to finding out the cause of my breakfast’s untimely demise. Oh! There’s something I forgot to mention. That very evening—after an incredibly sad, breakfast-less day—I was trying to cheer myself up by dressing in my comfiest pajamas and drinking a cup of herbal tea before tucking into bed. As I lay there, ready to count {{p|Mareep}} and fall asleep, I was suddenly awoken by some unnerving tapping outside my lab! It sounded like...tap-dancing? I was simply too comfortable in bed—and too frightened—to get up and check. All I could do was lie there and hope the tapping would end soon. I now believe source of that tapping was the same Pokémon that created the sheet of ice in front of my mobile lab. Can you investigate some Pokémon related to making peculiar sounds? Let’s see whether we can get closer to solving this case before it goes cold."''
 
*3/5
:''"... ... ... OH! <player>, you scared me. I was a bit distracted thinking about the tap-dancing I heard last night, as well as the shadow I saw pass by my window. Oh, I didn’t mention that last part? Yes, it was quite an unnerving experience! Anyway, let me take a look at all the research you’ve done. Oh! OH! Oh my goodness! All right, I think I know the source of these strange occurrences now. I believe the culprit is the [[Regional_form#Galarian_Form|Galarian form]] of the Barrier Pokémon—{{p|Mr. Mime}}! Galarian Mr. Mime is known as the Dancing Pokémon. It likes to create a sheet of ice and tap-dance on it. What a strange Pokémon! While Galarian Mr. Mime is the prime suspect, it’s still just a hunch. Can you go out and do a bit more research to confirm? Maybe you might even come across a Galarian Mr. Mime!"''
 
*4/5
:''"Phew! Great job catching that Galarian Mr. Mime, <player>! I guess it’s not as frightening as I first thought. Perhaps it’ll become even more approachable when it evolves? I’ve read that Galarian Mr. Mime evolves into {{p|Mr. Rime}}, the Comedian Pokémon. Mr. Rime is apparently highly skilled at tap-dancing and waves its cane of ice in time with its graceful movements. I wonder whether it could teach me some new moves. Haha! Anyway, how about you try evolving your Galarian Mr. Mime?"''
 
*5/5
:''"What a fascinating Pokémon Mr. Rime is! Thank you for evolving your Galarian Mr. Mime, <player>. I've heard stories of Mr. Rime’s amusing movements, and you know what? Color me amused. What a COOL discovery this was! This has definitely been an unforgettable adventure, but I’m not sure I can say I’d do it again, given the chilling way it started. My poor breakfast... Until next time, <player>. Let’s GO!"''
 
===Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto===
 
*1/8
:''"Hey there, <player>! Check this out—I’ve been practicing. Hello there! Welcome to the world of Pokémon GO! My name is Willow. People call me the Pokémon Prof! This world is inhabited by creatures called Pokémon! Some people keep Pokémon as companions. Others have them do battle. Myself? I study Pokémon as a profession. Did that remind you of [[Professor Oak|anyone]]? For many years, Trainers from [[Kanto]] have heard similar remarks before embarking on their journeys through the region. I have the honor of making them today because you’re about to head out on your own Kanto-inspired journey. But we can’t have you leaving unprepared! I’ve put together some supplies I think you’ll find useful."''
 
*2/8
:''"Berries, Potions, and Poké Balls. Looks like you’re all set! As you begin today’s adventure, try to imagine you’re stepping straight into the tall grass of Kanto. I have a feeling you’ll meet a Pokémon that will make a wonderful partner on your journey. Be sure to take some snapshots of the Pokémon you encounter along the way! On adventures, I find it’s helpful to document not only your findings but also your memories. And I’m sure you’ll make plenty of both! Now, in the words of a wise professor: Your very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's GO!"''
 
*3/8
:''"How’s your journey going, <player>? Oh! Found a partner Pokémon to join you, eh? Wonderful work. In the Kanto region, Trainers are often presented with three options when it comes to their first partner Pokémon. The first is Bulbasaur, the Seed Pokémon, #001 in the Pokédex. This Grass-type Pokémon has a plant seed on its back right from the day it’s born. Another option is Charmander, the Lizard Pokémon. It’s a Fire-type Pokémon, and it has a flame on its tail that shows the strength of its life force. Last—but certainly not least—is Squirtle, the Tiny Turtle Pokémon. After birth, this Water-type Pokémon's back swells and hardens into a shell. Each of these Pokémon have their strengths and weaknesses, so be sure to study up! For now, though, it’s time to get back to your adventure. I’d like you to spend some time with your buddy. The relationship between a Trainer and their Pokémon is of utmost importance! How about going on a walk together? I always enjoy exploring with my buddy!"''
 
*4/8
:''"Wonderful work, Trainer! Glad to see you’re growing closer to your buddy. Keep it up, and you’ll become even closer in no time. When it comes to being a Trainer, people often talk about catching techniques or battle strategies, but I find that friendship is just as essential. Not only are the relationships you build with your Pokémon incredibly important, but so are the friendships you build with other Trainers. Your personal journeys and goals may vary, but at the end of the day, you’re all Trainers! You should do your best to connect with the other Trainers you meet on your travels. In that spirit, how about sending your friends some Gifts to brighten their day? I’m sure they’d love to hear from you!"''
 
*5/8
:''"Welcome back, Trainer! Hope you enjoyed connecting with other Trainers. I see you were even able to trade a few Pokémon! Trading is a fabulous way to acquire Pokémon you might not have otherwise encountered. And not only do you get a new entry in your Pokédex, but you also get a new friend! You’ve already made great progress on your journey. I think it’s time to show off the skills you’ve learned along the way! How about showcasing your throwing expertise by catching some Pokémon? Don’t forget to make use of your Berries, too. I’m especially fond of Pinap Berries. They help you earn extra Candy for the Pokémon you’re catching—and they’re tasty to boot!"''
 
*6/8
:''"I’m sure I had a stash of Pinap Berries here somewhere... Oh! Welcome back, <player>! Guess my snack will have to wait.  I’ve been checking up on your progress, and I have to say, I’m very impressed! It seems there’s no challenge you can’t overcome. As I’m sure you know, a well-rounded Trainer needs to have a great team of Pokémon to battle against other Trainers or even challenge Pokémon in raids. I think this is a great time to power up some of your Pokémon and bolster your team. While you focus on that, I’ll be looking into an interesting rumor I caught wind of. There have been reports of encounters with a Pokémon that’s able to transform into another Pokémon entirely. Fascinating stuff! I’ll be sure to share whatever I find when you return."''
 
*7/8
:''" Glad you’re back, Trainer. After looking into those reports, it certainly sounds like the work of {{p|Ditto}}, the Transformation Pokémon. Ditto rearranges its cell structure to transform itself into other shapes. What an incredible Pokémon! However, there seems to be something more to this situation. Could you help me with some research so we can find out what exactly is going on? I’ll continue my work here to see if I can uncover some more information that might help us."''
 
*8/8
:''"<Player>! Is it true?! You encountered a [[Shiny]] Ditto?! I’m stunned! You’ve had quite the journey, haven’t you? It’s been a joy to follow your progress, as always. Believe it or not, though, there’s still another mystery that needs solving.  You see, after looking over the research you’ve conducted, I think we might be on the trail of the New Species Pokémon, Mew.  We've documented Mew in the past, but something’s different this time—though I can’t yet say what that is. Whatever the case, I think it’s safe to say this is going to be a memorable adventure! In the meantime, keep an eye out for another research assignment. I have a feeling this is going to be an especially challenging endeavor, but I’m sure you’re up to it! For now, though, I think congratulations are in order. You did a tremendous job on today’s Kanto-themed journey! I hope you were able to make some special memories with your Pokémon and fellow Trainers. Thanks again for all your help and hard work! Now, let’s GO!"''
 
===All-in-One #151===
 
*1/4
:''"Ah, <player>! Glad to have you aboard this expedition. Say, have you ever heard this particular tune? Da da da doo, da dee da dum... That’s what I hear in my head when I think of a certain sailor and his Wingull that I met while traveling through the Hoenn region in my younger years. I believe the tune was originally a sea shanty. Sailors would sing songs like this together on their seafaring adventures to keep morale high and help find a rhythm during certain tasks. I’m no sailor, but I do find myself feeling luckier after humming it! Haha! Anyway, we’re here to look into the strange situation we uncovered during your Kanto-themed journey. I’m talking, of course, about reports of encounters with Mew, the New Species Pokémon. There have been several sightings of a Shiny one recently, which is tremendously exciting! That means our goal on this expedition is to find not only one of the most elusive Pokémon to ever exist, but a Shiny one at that! You’ve experienced a lot on your journeys thus far, <player>. But perhaps the most wonderful thing about Pokémon is that there’s always something new to discover. I hope you’re excited for what’s to come, because I have a feeling it’s going to be a real test of your skills as a Trainer! Let’s GO!"''
 
*2/4
:''"Wow, <player>—great work! Your knowledge of the Kanto region is beginning to rival even my own!Our next task is to learn more about Pokémon DNA. I know that sounds pretty heavy on the science, but don’t worry—I’ll take care of that part. All I need you to do is get out there and catch lots of different types of Pokémon! Mew’s DNA is said to contain the genetic codes of all Pokémon, so to better understand Mew, we should try to understand as much as we can about the genetics of other Pokémon."''
 
*3/4
:''"Incredible work, <player>! Seeing you learn so much about different Pokémon reminded me of how vast the world of Pokémon truly is. Knowledge is funny in that the more we gain, the more realize how much we still lack. Some might find that frustrating, but for me it’s inspiring! You know, there’s a part in that sea shanty I mentioned before that seems applicable here. I don’t remember the exact words, but the gist is that we should travel across the land, searching far and wide to learn about all the amazing Pokémon there are in the world. Words to live by, I say! Let’s get out there and track down that Shiny Mew, Trainer!"''
 
*4/4
:''"<Player>, you... You did it! You actually found and caught a Shiny Mew! Has it even sunk in yet? This is a monumental achievement, Trainer. Take a moment to congratulate yourself! Hm? It’s my achievement as well? Haha! No, no, I just hummed you a shanty and guided you like any Pokémon Professor worth their sea salt would. But thanks are certainly in order for the Pokémon you’ve befriended on your journey. They played a big part in your research, after all! The ones you’ve caught, the ones you’ve battled with, and the ones that traveled with you as your buddy—each Pokémon played a critical part in helping you achieve this goal. As Trainers, we owe an eternal debt to our Pokémon. After all, we can’t very well be Trainers without them! A Trainer’s journey is meant to be filled with amazing memories, ambitious dreams, and unexpected adventures. I think this particular journey checked all those boxes pretty handily! I’m sure it won’t be the last to do so, either. Now, until next time...let’s GO!"''

Japanese voice actor Nobuyuki Sakemoto (The Two Professors)

Professor Willow (Japanese: ウィロー博士 Dr. Willow) is a Pokémon Professor who appears in the Pokémon GO mobile game. Similar to Professor Birch, he specializes in Pokémon habitats and distribution. Unlike other Professors who directly give Trainers their first Pokémon, Professor Willow gives Trainers their first Poké Balls to capture their first Pokémon.

Background information

Professor Willow was an only child who learned his love of Pokémon and exploring from his parents. His mother researched Pokémon ecology and his father was fascinated by the outdoors.[4] Before setting out on his own exploration, he worked in a lab studying Pokémon under Professor Oak, whom he still looks up to today.[5]

In addition to Professor Oak in Kanto, Professor Sycamore in Kalos, Professor Magnolia in Galar, and Jacq in Paldea are also colleagues of his.

Despite his confident presentation, Professor Willow confesses to a shy side and values spending time alone outdoors for his research.[6] He always wears his lab coat to help himself focus on his research.[7] His dream is to explore uncharted lands and to examine and document new Pokémon species yet to be discovered in their natural habitat.[8]

Upon discovery of many Meltan-disguised Ditto by his assistants at the conclusion of the Chikorita Community Day, Professor Willow contacted Professor Oak to discuss the matter.[9] It was revealed during later Special Researches that Professor Willow has a Meltan as his Pokémon buddy.

While investigating Team GO Rocket take-overs, Professor Willow recovered some corrupted files from his computer, uncovering data about Team GO Rocket Leaders Cliff, Sierra, and Arlo. He later found out that Team GO Rocket Grunts were dropping Mysterious Components behind them when defeated at invaded PokéStops. With the help of his assistants, the three team leaders, he was able to build an early Rocket Radar prototype to locate the Team GO Rocket Leaders and later the Super Rocket Radar to locate Giovanni himself.[10]

On June 5, 2022, during the second day of the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 event, Professor Willow suddenly disappeared, and in his stead appeared Rhi, of the GO Ultra Recon Squad. It was later revealed that Professor Willow had entered an Ultra Wormhole and ended up in Ultra Space. On August 27, 2022, Rhi and the player managed to rescue Professor Willow from Ultra Space in time for the Pokémon GO Fest 2022 Finale event, though his outfit was changed for a few months.

On November 5, 2022, following the Dratini Community Day Classic event, Professor Willow was contacted by Jacq when Trainers discovered a ?????? Coin from the Paldea region upon spinning a golden PokéStop. Jacq contacted Professor Willow again soon after to discuss the ecology of Gimmighoul. Gimmighoul's Chest Form was named by Jacq, while its Roaming Form was named by Professor Willow.[11]

Transferring Pokémon

The player can transfer Pokémon to Professor Willow using the "Transfer" option on the status screen in exchange for one Candy for that Pokémon's evolutionary family. A Pokémon transferred to the Professor is permanently lost, equivalent to releasing a Pokémon in the core series games.

Assistants

Candela, Blanche, and Spark

Professor Willow has three assistants who each are head of a team that research Pokémon in different ways. They perform this research inside Gyms owned by their respective teams, with each team's mascot being one of the legendary birds. The leader of the teams will also appraise the Pokémon of trainers on their teams when asked to.

His assistants are:

  • Spark, the leader of Team Instinct (Japanese: チーム・インスティンクト Team Instinct), who is researching Pokémon breeding. Team Instinct Trainers believe a Pokémon's intuition is linked to how they are hatched. Team Instinct is represented by Zapdos.
  • Blanche, the leader of Team Mystic (Japanese: チーム・ミスティック Team Mystic), who is researching Pokémon Evolution. Team Mystic Trainers believe that by staying calm and analyzing every situation, they can't lose. Team Mystic is represented by Articuno.
  • Candela, the leader of Team Valor (Japanese: チーム・ヴァーラー Team Valor), who is researching Pokémon strength. Team Valor Trainers believe that their Pokémon are the strongest because they train to naturally enhance a Pokémon's power in search of true strength. Team Valor is represented by Moltres.
