Full "An Inter-Egg-Sting Development" Research Tasks In Pokémon GO

The new Team GO Rocket research has been released in Pokémon GO. This six-page research coincides with a shift in the Rocket line-ups, including the Team GO Rocket leaders and the boss, Giovanni. Giovanni will have Shadow Mewtwo when faced any time from now until the end of the year. This is the first time that Shadow Mewtwo will be available for free-to-play players in Pokémon GO after its GO Fest 2020 debut.

The research, titled "An Inter-egg-sting Development," focuses on the new Strange Eggs added to Pokémon GO. Here's the full questline:

Unlike the Shadow Mewtwo from GO Fest which was rewarded in the actual research, this one will be caught as an encounter after defeating Giovanni. This means that it will not have a guaranteed 10/10/10 IV floor, but still, take heed Pokémon GO trainers: the absolute lowest IV Shadow Mewtwo is a stronger attacker than a 100% standard Mewtwo/

Do not, under any circumstances, purify your Shadow Mewtwo. It will be a waste of potentially the greatest asset to your team.

Niantic has confirmed that this will be the last Giovanni-focused research in Pokémon GO in 2020. Hopefully, the new year will bring more monthly Rocket research and some new Shadow Legendaries.
