What time does the event take place? The research day will take place on September 22 from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM. It is the next Pokémon GO event in September 2024.
Today, the next research day is taking place in Pokémon GO. What should you pay attention to?
The focus is on completing various tasks and catching the two Pokémon Quartermak and Kommandutan – here you actually have a good shiny chance.
We summarize the most important points for you.
How does the research day with Kommandutan and Quartermak work in Pokémon GO?
This is how you get the most out of it: Your focus should be on spinning as many PokéStops as possible, as from them you will receive field research during the event period, behind which the two event Pokémon are hiding.
These are Kommandutan and Quartermak. For both, you will have an increased shiny chance during the event. Quartermak will even appear for the first time ever as shiny.
To increase your chances, you should try to play in an area that has many PokéStops that you can work through consecutively. Then try to prioritize the simple field researches and complete them quickly so that you have space for new researches.
Be careful that your field research collection during the event does not fill up with tasks that are difficult to complete “on the side”.
Which Pokémon will also appear? In the wild, you will encounter:
Menki*
Griffel*
Bummelz*
Panflam*
Chimpep
The Pokémon marked with an asterisk can also be encountered as shiny, but the chance is not increased.
However, these monsters are not particularly exciting, as they are neither really useful in raids nor in the PvP league. Therefore: Focus on getting the shinies from the researches.
Is there a research opportunity? You can also purchase a limited research in the shop, which will also run during the event. It costs 2 US dollars (the price in Euros is expected to be similar) and will give you additional encounters with Quartermak and Kommandutan.
The two monsters from the limited research will also have an increased chance of being shiny.
Whether it’s worth it for you is something you should decide for yourself. The research is definitely not necessary if you have enough PokéStops and field researches nearby. Then you should already have a good chance for the shinies.
However, please note: There is no guarantee for shinies, neither one way nor the other.
Additional bonuses: Otherwise, the currently ongoing events in Pokémon GO continue. This also applies to the Psycho-Spektakel, which runs until September 22 at 8:00 PM. You can also utilize its bonuses during this period, such as double catch stardust, extra candies when catching with nice, great, or excellent throws, and an increased chance for XL candies with these throws. Furthermore, the Dyna-Tanhel is still on the move, which you should grab.
