The countdown to the Pokemon Go Kanto Tour is almost at its end and the event is slated to go online in just a few days. This ticketed event is virtually as exciting as the yearly Pokemon Go Fest for most trainers and there will be a few amazing rewards up for grabs for everyone who is going to put their time and efforts into finishing a Special Research task on February 20.
A dozen of additional information about the Pokemon Go Kanto Tour was revealed yesterday including confirmation that trainers will be able to earn a chance to encounter a Shiny Mew. Shiny Mythical Pokemon are extremely rare in the mobile augmented reality game, so it’s without a doubt that this is huge news for a lot of fans who are striving towards completing that elusive shiny dex.
Trainers will have to work really hard in order to qualify for an opportunity to meet the Shiny Mew. First things first, trainers will need to finish the main Kanto Special Research tasks and unlock all of its rewards. Once this is done, the player will then be given access to another event-exclusive Special Research storyline, which will ultimately lead to the Shiny Mew encounter.
“That’s not all—after completing the Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto Special Research, Trainers will receive a second event-exclusive Special Research line. Overcoming difficult challenges and daunting tasks will be required to complete it, but it’ll all be worth it to discover Shiny Mew.”
The new Masterwork Research is an exciting addition, and Pokemon Go trainers are probably excited to find out just how difficult it will be and if there will be a time restriction on it. Early leaks suggest that one of the requirements to finish the Masterwork Research includes reaching level 40, so that is surely a really tough requirement, even for trainers who have been casually active in-game since its release. The grind to the max level is no joke and will take tons of hours to accomplish.
“Once you complete the first Special Research line, you’ll be able to access a second event-exclusive Special Research story, meant to be completed over a long period of time, in which you’ll embark on a long and challenging journey to discover Shiny Mew.”
In the coming days, tons of additional information about the exact requirements for every Special Research should be officially announced, so players can learn what will be needed and begin planning ahead of the event.
