Pokémon GO Announced Aspiring Dragons Research Day

Horsea, Trapinch, Swablu, and Skrelp feature in a special Research Day in Pokémon GO that will boost their Shiny rate from tasks.

If you're on the hunt for Shiny Pokémon in Pokémon GO, the upcoming Aspiring Dragons Research Day event will give you increased odds. Let's take a look at what Niantic is cooking up.

Here's what's happening for the Aspiring Dragons Research Day event in Pokémon GO:

• Date and time: Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time
• Features Pokémon: The following Pokémon, all of which evolve into Dragon-types, will be available through Field Research tasks with an increased Shiny rate: Horsea, Trapinch, Swablu, and Skrelp.
• Wild Spawns: Spearow (can be Shiny), Yanma (can be Shiny), Carvanha (can be Shiny), Dwebble (can be Shiny), Ducklett (can be Shiny), and Binacle (can be Shiny).

Trainers will be able to enhance the event with a Paid Timed Research questline for $2 USD. The details are as follows:

• This Timed Research will challenge you to complete Field Research tasks to encounter more of your choice of the featured Pokémon. After completing your first Timed Research, you can select another of the featured Pokémon for a second Timed Research opportunity: Horsea, Trapinch, Swablu, or Skrelp.
• Niantic notes that Pokémon that appear during this Timed Research will have the same chance of appearing as a Shiny Pokémon as those that can be encountered through Field Research during the event.
• Niantic writes: "Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with Timed Research must be completed, and their rewards must be claimed before Saturday, December 7, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. local time. Trainers will be able to purchase and gift tickets to any of their Pokémon GO friends with whom they have achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher. Please note that purchases—including those made for other Trainers—are non-refundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service). Tickets cannot be purchased with PokéCoins."
