In the special research “Plants and Gratitude” in Pokémon GO, all trainers receive a Shaymin in its land form. This is the first time that the Pokémon will be available worldwide for free to all trainers. See all tasks and rewards here.
What kind of research is this? For the Environment Week 2023, some bonuses are expected in the game. The Pokémon Frubberl and its evolutions will be activated, along with the new Shinys of Rotomurf and its evolution. The event is accompanied by bonuses and this special research.
Shaymin could already be caught by trainers at GO Fest 2022 with a ticket. Now, the Pokémon is available for the first time worldwide for free to anyone participating in the special research. Trainers who were able to catch a Shaymin through the research from GO Fest 2022 will encounter another specimen in the new research.

A few days ago, hundreds of players fought for a gym in London, but none were allowed to have it.
