In Pokémon GO the exploration challenge for the Safari Zone in Goyang has now been activated. We show you all the tasks and rewards. On Friday, trainers waited in vain for the time-limited research.
What does Niantic say? On Twitter, the developers of Pokémon GO announced that they want to celebrate the launch of the new Safari Zone in Goyang (South Korea) together with trainers all over the world.
They intend to provide a time-limited research and also a new shiny. We will show you the rewards and tasks.
Safari Zone Goyang – Exploration Challenge
| Task | Reward |
| Explore 1 km | Encounter with Parfi* |
| Explore 2 km | Encounter with Parfi* |
| Explore 3 km | Encounter with Parfi* |
| Explore 4 km | Encounter with Parfi* |
| Explore 5 km | Encounter with Parfi* |
Completion Reward: If you complete all 5 tasks and claim the respective rewards, you will also receive 1,000 XP, 1,000 Stardust, and an encounter with Parfi*.
Tip: By “explore”, the developers simply mean walking in this case. Also consider that Parfi can now appear as shiny.
Continuing here with the original article. Niantic announced this research already in the early morning hours of September 23rd, and trainers wondered if the developers had forgotten to push the button:
Where is the new research?
This is what Niantic says: On Twitter, the team wrote at 05:00 AM German time on September 23rd: “Celebrate the launch of the #PokemonGOSafariZone:Goyang by completing a free, globally available time-limited research. For the completion, you will be rewarded with an encounter of the perfume Pokémon Parfi. For the first time, lucky trainers have the chance to encounter shiny Parfi.”
The Safari Zone in Goyang runs from Friday, September 23rd, to Sunday, September 25th. It runs on those days from 09:00 AM to 06:00 PM local time. Since Goyang is ahead of German time due to the time zone difference, the Friday event has been active there for a long time. However, nothing has been seen so far from the global time-limited research.
What trainers are asking: On Twitter, trainers are commenting on Niantic’s post asking where the research is. User Boon-Li Ong writes: Have you forgotten to activate it worldwide?
User WinBo writes on Twitter that the research is already active in Goyang but does not appear worldwide.
Others are posting memes and are still searching for the promised research:
It certainly looks like the developers forgot to activate the research globally on Friday. In the event of a bug that blocks the launch, the developers usually report via their support account and inform trainers about it.
Are there new raids and items coming for Pokémon GO? This find by dataminers is now being discussed.
