In Pokémon GO the special research “A Wise Hero” is running and gives you a chance to catch a very rare Shiny Lapras. We will show you all the quests and rewards of the research.
What kind of research is this? The research will be available from 10:00 AM on April 13, 2023. It starts together with the event of the same name, which also brings you bonuses for candy, XP, and lure modules.
The special research rewards you, among other things, with a Lapras wearing a special accessory. If you are lucky, you will find the Pokémon as Shiny. Since there are currently no other ways to obtain this Shiny, it is considered particularly rare.
