Next weekend, Pokémon Go will debut a new kind of global event Hooked. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 11 Jan 2019 4 comments Pokémon Go has a fresh kind of event for 2019 - Limited Research - which will offer up a single Pokémon via research quests from PokéStops. The first of these events takes place next Saturday, 19th January, during the usual Community Day hours (10am - 1pm here in the UK) and features the shabby fish Feebas - known for its ugly duckling-like evolution into the serpent Milotic. Just like with Community Days, this will be your chance to snag a shiny version of the featured Pokémon. It's been a year since Pokémon Go began its popular monthly Community Day events - the 13th one of which is tomorrow, Saturday 12th January, for Totodile. It sounds like Limited Research Days may become a recurring thing, too. As for how it works, Limited Research sounds similar to the Squirtle Squad bonus tasks available during Squirtle's community day: spin Stops for simple tasks which reward you with Pokémon encounters, some of which will be shiny. On Squirtle community day, specific Stops would always give out shinies - so it was up to players to locate these and then share their location with others throughout their local group. It's a neat way to introduce the shiny version of what is otherwise a relatively rare Pokémon - and a refreshing change from raid days and incubator events which encourage in-game spending.
