Waking up this Sunday after a few days of already pretty active Pokémon GO play you might have been surprised to see that Niantic had even more for you to do. A brand new timed research has launched with just a few hours to complete a huge set of tasks. Each stage offers its own rewards though, so even if you can’t complete it by the time it’s over, which should be at 10pm your local time. With just over 12 hours total to complete all the steps and get all the rewards you’ll want to check out our Catch Mastery: Ghost Timed Research Guide for Pokémon GO showing you all tasks and rewards.
Catch Mastery: Ghost Timed Research Steps and Rewards
Starting at 8am on October 25th you’ll gain access to the Catch Mastery: Ghost timed research. This will unlock automatically and offer the first of a set of ten stages you need to get through to get all the rewards. Mostly you’ll want to focus on the Drifloon encounters since they hold the possibility of a shiny Drifloon as a reward. So get out there and get catching.
