The Mythical Pokémon Celebi is coming to Pokémon GO. Complete Special Research tasks in Pokémon GO to encounter the Mythical Pokémon.
Starting August 20, complete Special Research tasks to gain XP and receive items. If you complete enough tasks, you can eventually encounter the elusive Celebi.
Fans who attended Pokémon GO Fest and received a Celebi there can complete these Special Research tasks to earn a bunch of Candy to power up their Celebi.
Other Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region will become more common and will be out into the wild. Field Research highlighting these Pokémon will be available for a limited time.
To celebrate the Johto region and the appearance of Celebi around the world, new avatar items and new outfits are available for PokéCoins in the in-game Style Shop—if you’ve made enough progress on your Johto medal.
This comes as a great time for me as I just completed the special research notes to catch the mythical Pokémon Mew.
