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 assigned by [[Professor Willow]] in {{g|GO}}. Unlike [[Field Research]], Special Research tasks have separate, fixed objectives outlined by Professor Willow, and they cannot be obtained from spinning [[PokéStop]]s.
+'''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 and an initial [[Power Up]] level of 15. Special Research is currently the only method of obtaining {{p|Mew}}, {{p|Celebi}}, {{p|Jirachi}}, {{p|Spiritomb}}, and [[Galar]]ian {{p|Yamask}}. Those Pokémon are programmed to have a 100% catch rate.

Those Pokémon are programmed to have a 100% catch rate.
 Most 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.

It's a two-part Special Research that, upon completion, rewards a {{Shiny}} {{p|Voltorb}}. The steps of the research are identical to those from the Special Research [[#Safari Zone St. Louis 2020|Safari Zone St. Louis 2020]] with slightly altered rewards and task order. This event was later rescheduled for ticket holders in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on October 29–31, 2021. People with tickets from 2020 could also play worldwide at their location on October 29–31, 2021 on the same day and time as their original event ticket (i.e. ticket for Friday May 8, 2020 would translate to Friday October 29, 2021 from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. local time).
