In Pokémon GO you can secure a special research task that brings an encounter with Shiny Jirachi. We at MeinMMO show you all the contents and tell you how to get the research.
What kind of research is this? On February 25 and 26, the great global Hoenn Tour took place in Pokémon GO. As in previous years, there was also a special research task related to it in 2023 that can be purchased in the ingame shop.
How do you get the ticket? Anyone who wants to secure the “Masterpiece Research: Fulfilled Wish” for Shiny Jirachi can purchase it in the ingame shop for 5.99 euros.
You can find the research under the category “Global Events”. It could be purchased in the shop until March 20, 2023, at 6:00 PM German time. To complete the research, you then have unlimited time as usual.
Anyone who has purchased a ticket for the live event of the Hoenn Tour in Las Vegas already received access to a shortened version of the research. Another purchase is not possible.
What is included in the research? In addition to plenty of items and candies, this will finally grant you a mysterious Pokémon from the Hoenn region: Jirachi. The wish Pokémon of the types steel and psychic can be secured for the first time in its shiny form.
Additionally, more cool rewards await you. We have summarized all the contents of the special research with the help of the overview from LeekDuck below.
