Seek Out the Mythical Celebi in Pokemon GO

Prepare to test your skills as a Trainer to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Celebi in Pokémon GO! Starting August 20, complete Special Research tasks to gain XP and receive useful 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.

It seems that Celebi's arrival is also drawing more Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region out into the wild. Field Research highlighting these Pokémon will be available for a limited time. Head out to discover Johto Pokémon near you!

To celebrate the Johto region and the appearance of Celebi around the world, new avatar items and cool outfits are available for PokéCoins in the in-game Style Shop—if you've made enough progress on your Johto medal.

Get up and GO complete exciting Special Research for the chance to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Celebi and more Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region!
