In Pokémon GO, we can soon look forward to a new special research. A dataminer has found research about Jirachi, which will likely be available to every player.
What was found? The dataminer Chrales has discovered the text passages of a completely new special research. It revolves around Jirachi, the mysterious Pokémon, which could already be caught at the GO Fest.
The exact tasks are not yet known, but from the text passages, we can roughly conclude what tasks need to be completed.
The following text passages for the Jirachi quest were found
This is what the dataminer shows: Chrales has published all the text passages on his Twitter page that Professor Willow will say to you during the special research.
We will include all passages here in English:
What can be concluded from this? Not all tasks are known, but some assignments that you need to complete will be told to you by the professor. We list them for you:
- Make X new friendships
- Catch X Pokémon from the Hoenn region
- Catch X Flurmel
- Take X snapshots
- Catch X Psychic and Steel type Pokémon
- Complete a trainer battle
Will there be more tasks? Surely these are not all tasks yet. There are a total of 7 stages in the research. In other special researches, each stage consisted of 3 tasks. So one can expect 21 tasks here.
Will this special research be available for all players? Looking at the passages, it seems that this will be the special research for every player. At the GO Fests, players were welcomed differently by Professor Willow. There was a direct reference to the GO Fest. This is not the case here.
What can be said about the quests? Many of these tasks resemble those from the special research at the GO Fest. There, players also had to take snapshots, and Flurmel or its evolution Krakeelo also played a role.
When could the special research come? Players suspect that the research will only come after the GO Fest in Yokohama. Then every player at a GO Fest would have the preferred chance to catch a Jirachi. The GO Fest there starts on August 6 and ends on August 12. Therefore, Jirachi could come afterwards.
However, there are no exact dates from Niantic. They could also bring the special research earlier.
