Menu for A Mythical Discovery

Special Research (Japanese: スペシャルリサーチ Special Research) are tasks in Pokémon GO. Usually, they are assigned by Professor Willow. However, in multiple cases Rhi of the GO Ultra Recon Squad has taken Willow's stead. In some special storylines, a leader of Team GO Rocket, Arlo, Cliff, or Sierra, have given tasks to the player. Unlike Field Research, Special Research tasks have separate, fixed objectives outlined by the assigner, and they cannot be obtained from spinning PokéStops.

Players receive rewards for each Special Research task they complete. As with Field Research rewards, the Pokémon that can be caught as a Special Research reward have a set minimum IV of 10 in each stat and an initial Power Up level of 15. Special Research is currently the only method of obtaining Mew (and its Shiny variant), Celebi (and its Shiny variant), Jirachi, Spiritomb, Victini, Galarian Yamask, Aria Forme Meloetta, Hoopa Confined, and Zarude. Those Pokémon are programmed to have a 100% catch rate.

Most Special Research tasks are available once the player reaches level 5. They can only be completed once, and tasks cannot be deleted. One set of Special Research tasks can be completed concurrently with tasks from another uncompleted set of Special Research.

List of Special Research

Globally available Special Research

Mythical Special Research

These Special Researches introduce the player to unique Mythical Pokémon. These researches reward a single non-Shiny Mythical Pokémon that cannot be traded or sent back to Professor Willow. With the exception of Mew, those Mythical Pokémon are introduced first as exclusive rewards during the paying GO Fest annual event before being available to other players, free of charge, through a different Special Research that becomes available a few months later.

+'''Special Research''' (Japanese: '''スペシャルリサーチ''' ''Special Research'') are tasks in {{g|GO}}.
+Usually, they are assigned by [[Professor Willow]]. However, in multiple cases [[Rhi]] of the [[Ultra Recon Squad|GO Ultra Recon Squad]] has taken Willow's stead. In some special storylines, a leader of [[Team GO Rocket]], [[Arlo]], {{GO|Cliff}}, or {{GO|Sierra}}, have given tasks to the player. Unlike [[Field Research]], Special Research tasks have separate, fixed objectives outlined by the assigner, and they cannot be obtained from spinning [[PokéStop]]s.
-Players receive rewards for each Special Research task they complete. As with Field Research rewards, the Pokémon that can be caught as a Special Research reward have a set minimum {{DL|Individual values|In Pokémon GO|IV}} of 10 in each stat. Special Research is currently the only method of obtaining {{p|Mew}} and {{p|Celebi}}. The Mew and Celebi rewards are programmed to have a 100% catch rate.
+Players receive rewards for each Special Research task they complete. As with Field Research rewards, the Pokémon that can be caught as a Special Research reward have a set minimum {{DL|Individual values|Pokémon GO|IV}} of 10 in each stat and an initial [[Power Up]] level of 15. Special Research is currently the only method of obtaining {{p|Mew}} (and its {{pkmn2|Shiny}} variant), {{p|Celebi}} (and its Shiny variant), {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, {{p|Victini}}, Galarian {{p|Yamask}}, {{DL|List of Pokémon with form differences|Meloetta|Aria Forme}} {{p|Meloetta}}, {{p|Hoopa}} Confined, and {{p|Zarude}}. Those Pokémon are programmed to have a 100% catch rate.
-Special Research tasks are available once the player reaches [[Trainer level|level]] 5. They can only be completed once and tasks cannot be deleted. One set of Special Research tasks can be completed concurrently with tasks from another uncompleted set of Special Research.

+These Special Researches introduce the player to unique [[Mythical Pokémon]]. These researches reward a single non-{{pkmn2|Shiny}} Mythical Pokémon that cannot be [[Trade#Pokémon GO|traded]] or sent back to Professor Willow. With the exception of {{p|Mew}}, those Mythical Pokémon are introduced first as exclusive rewards during the paying [[List of events (GO)|GO Fest]] annual event before being available to other players, free of charge, through a different Special Research that becomes available a few months later.

Story events for those research tasks occur on event days such as raid days with specific bosses or community days. The ticket disappears from the player's [[Bag]] once the event ends. Players who do not complete the Special Research during the event can still do so later as the research may be altered with alternate tasks less reliant on event encounters.
