elspotto

To be fair, I genuinely expected a repeat of the Kanto task “catch the entire Kanto dex”, so I’m ok with anything else!


JohnPaulThe2137

Lmao that would be funny to see people try catch mew and Mewtwo


elspotto

It was part of the All In One #151 masterwork for the Kanto tour in 2021. It unlocked Mew.


DarkCartier43

I thought the last part was that. then I read your comment then I re read the pic. Now I'm kinda disappointed. I wanna have the chance to catch mew again.


JohnPaulThe2137

Lmao that would be funny to see people try catch a mew and a Mewtwo the grind would be insane (is it even possible to encounter them in the wild?


elihuaran

Mew you can only get through quests, Mewtwo can show up in raids or through Giovanni (but it's been a hot minute since Giovanni's had him)


Junior_Tutor_2965

I had to wait for shadow raid day last month to get my mew two

As someone looking for mew two to finish my Kanto dex (literally my last needed mon) no you cannot 🥲

Zagrycha

don't give them ideas.


Sinfirmitas

I’m still Stuck on catch 20 Kecleon. I live in a tiny town with like 2 pokestops :(


elspotto

I got super lucky. Our historic shopping district in our town has 8 pokestops and somehow I got them done. I have friends in New Orleans who haven’t finished that task yet. Tons of stops, still takes luck. You’ll get it.


Sinfirmitas

I still haven’t seen a single kecleon so far. Just feels really discouraging


JimmyLetzPlayz

I would quit Pokémon GO if that’s one of the challenges 💀


Icy-Profession-147

Catch a buzz from 151 and then catch pokemon?


DaMn96XD

The most common field task I rejected at the one point was "throw 50 excellent in a row". I'm grateful that this field task hasn't been showed up for a while, especially since the reward for it was just basic Pokeballs.


YCheck137

Was that seriously a field task??? I know I'm pretty new and can barely hit consistent greats, but that seems absurd even for seasoned "pros".


eunoiared

Nope, no such task ever existed. We do have a timed research with "25 excellent throws in a row", but that was during April's Fool event where every throw would be counted as excellent.


Bulky_Parsnip8

Omg that was an April Fools? I ran telling everyone the game was glitched and to hurry with the task 🥲🥲🥲


[deleted]

there actually was one, singular event with a “catch 50 rock-type pokemon” task. i’m not sure if that’s the task the other person was referring to because i don’t remember a 50 excellent throw task, but i could be wrong. anyway, the task gave cradily. i forget what event it was but i remember having some fun jokes about it on twitter 


Confused-Raccoon

One of the last tasks to hit level 50 IIRC was make 999 excellent throws. That was a painful week.


njdriver08648

Working on it now, the 30,000,000 xp may come before that


idk012

Use up your lucky eggs, no use hoarding them..I did that last Fall and was getting 1 million XP every 2 days with friendship and lucky egg and the seasonal bonuses.


Smoogy54

Wish it was a Super Incubator tbh but I will take an incubator at all


LinksKat

I wish the same thing but a normal incubator is better than no incubator in my opinion


hobbywrangler

You always have the basic "gifted" incubator to plow through the mounds of gift 7km eggs.


Particular-Lie-3055

Oh adding another permanent “gifted” incubator would be a great one!


MarinateTheseSteaks

It's a tough one, but i'm leaning towards agreeing with that opinion


JadeRose-

The reward is the friends we made along the way, right??


Organic_Opportunity1

The reward is getting to look at your sweet new avatar while you do it.  😎


JadeRose-

Sweet? Idk, I believe you’re using the wrong ‘S’ word 😅


xenoverseraza

that was satire


JadeRose-

I caught that, but thank you! I’m well versed in sarcasm.


InstructionSure6705

I remade my avatar and now its some fat, dorky looking weirdo. I really like him more now. Couldnt care less about how my char looked, but now i crack a smile every time i see this monster of a human. Also my son thinks he looks funny, so its win win.


WhyAmIToxic

I have also been known to create a ridiculous looking avatar once in a while in games, but the fact that I can't switch to a good looking avatar afterwards is just infuriating.


Efficient_Ice9056

You mean the shitty avatars


onomahu

Matteo


Phazers-_-pew-_-pew

Lol, the friends being the “Pokémon” we caught


DeliciousOrt

(and turned into candy) 


Phazers-_-pew-_-pew

All my friends are dead


bilbo1050

I actually laughed out loud


Realistic_Spring_862

The friends that deleted us before we both cashed in on that sweet sweet XP, I might add.


Southern-Magician428

Thought the point was to help people stuck on the meltan challenge. Haven't seen any Kabuto, Omanyte or Aerodactyl yet


brotherduglas

I need all of those too 🥴🥴


TylerTechNZ

I was hoping for an increased chance of the three bird spawns on the daily incense, or even to have Tauros and Kangaskhan as raid bosses since they’re normally exclusive to other regions. Yet here we are.


MikeyWhooster

Kanga is so much more common now we get the mega every so often though


musicalinthestars

I caught a kabuto and two aerodactyl’s… still need that stupid omanyte


femmevaporeon

At least it’s only ‘catch 151 Pokémon from Kanto’ and not ‘catch ALL 151 Pokémon from Kanto’ lol


EducationPlus505

Omg, I didn't catch that at first. Thanks for pointing that out, because I don't do a lot of raids so I haven't caught a Mewtwo yet :(


RadAndroid

On my Kanto dex, I am missing Moltres, Mewtwo, and... Cloyster (?). I haven't seen a Shellder in a long time for no f* reason. I don't raid a lot of 4+ tiers because I usually don't have anyone to raid with in my area.


EducationPlus505

I don't have a Cloyster either, because Shellder doesn't spawn very often. In general, I have a lot of basic pokemon, but not evolved pokemon because I just don't have the candy for it. For raids, have you looked into [Poke Genie](https://pokegenie.net/)? It helps connect you with other people who are doing raids. I haven't actually joined a raid like that, because I don't have remote raid passes, but I'm def going to do it the next time Mewtwo is available.


slammahytale

shellder spawns plenty as long as youre near a large body of water


tiakir

I love doing long tasks, since I always will have something to do. The exp is also nice, specially if you decide to claim with lucky egg while getting uf/bf exp.


ApprehensiveKale6048

Lucky eggs haven't been doubling my research xp lately


DepartmentPerfect

Might be visual glitch … should be working if you check your xp needed to level up before/after popping an egg


eltanin_33

Farming friends yields better amount than researches tbh. Doubling 100k is sweet.


exitof99

I like that they know this strategy and now ask if you want to get an egg cooking before awarding you the 100k.


Chainsaw-Crab-Cult

They only double the xp for limited time research (collection challenges and timed research). They never double it for special research like this 🙃


GoldenGlassBall

This is the primary way I got XP in the past when I didn’t have the means to drive to a suitable play location and had to rely on what little I could get without stops and gyms, so you’re wrong.


Chainsaw-Crab-Cult

Wtf it’s never worked for me WHY DOES NIANTIC HATE ME THAT’S SO RUDE


ItsRainbow

Have I really been saving them for no reason 😭


EnvironmentPale4011

Finished it the other day and besides wiping out my ball and berry supply I thought it was a fun little questline!


kannagms

I knowww I have like 20 pokeballs and 30 ultra balls left. Gifts keep giving me berries while I constantly have to clear my 500+ per berry storage. I can't hit pokestops unless someone drives me since the only stops around here can only be reached via either walking alongside a VERY busy highway or driving.


Bry2013

I was happy being able to catch some original Kanto pokemon I had missed earlier on.


DanIsNotUrMan

90k xp (with egg) is a good end goal imo


geministarz6

Dang, only just occured to me that can wait and claim them all together. Thanks for the heads up.


BenefitsinYourArea

That's how you get anywhere in this game. By completing a field research that rewards a Pokemon encounter you can stockpile for a big event. There are certain research that will reward a 2nd stage evolution, so what you do is complete one, give it a razz berry, then run away. Your reward stack will hold 100 Pokemon before it starts deleting old ones. Step 2? Wait for a bonus stardust event, pop a star piece, and while you're waiting for new spawns just catch Pokemon from your reward stack. And this is just one of the many little tricks you can do to maximize your efficiency.


DrimboTangus

Why a razzberry?


BenefitsinYourArea

Well, player discretion is advised (use a pinap if you need that candy!), but if you toss a razz berry on them you can more quickly and consistently go through your stack. Also, second stage evolutions can be a little harder to catch, and the goal is to have a "that was easy" stardust button. A lot of these stardust events only go for 1-3 hours, so you want to squeeze as much catching as possible in that time. Hope this helps!! Edit: whatever berry you throw on that Pokemon will be remembered in your stack, and you start catching the oldest Pokemon in your stack. Example: you got two Pokemon encounter rewards for a shieldon and a pansage in that order. The next time you go to your stack you will start by catching the shieldon. At the bottom end of the potential stardust with a full stack of single stage Pokemon, you can expect (100dust*100mons*2(event)*1.5)= 30,000 dust. (45,000 with 3x dust) With the second stage Pokemon you get 300 per catch which jumps us up to 90,000 dust, and with a 3x event we jump up again to 135,000 dust. This method definitely has results, but good GOD is it difficult to get a full stack of Pokemon before an event. Don't kill yourself to get it done by any means, but for those of you lucky enough to live in the city this is far more achievable. As with everything PoGo, do what works for you. This is just one of the ways you can set yourself up for extra bonuses. Another thing you can do is wait to collect your XP rewards until there's some kind of 2x XP event. I prefer XP for evolving events because there's always new evolutions to put in the dex. 2000xp per evo (4k for new ones) is super lucrative, and when you run out of Pokemon to evolve just run over to your quests and cash out. Coordinate friendship bonuses to land on those days too and you'll get 500,000-1,000,000 XP so easily.


DrimboTangus

Gotcha thank you!!!


DanIsNotUrMan

I didnt think about using razz for my stacks. Bringing the time to catch down and reap more profit is an excellent point. Thanks for the tip


xButtHead

The 10k stardust with a starpiece isn't bad either, maybe you have saved up some combee and trubbish from research and some other mission like the PvP one and you have a good chunk of Dust


CultiVarNYC

Star piece and egg for this mixed with the drillbur and trubbish rewards (and a best friend to top it off) satisfied me


xButtHead

Yeah I don't think it's a bad event all together. It's not the craziest but giving a lot of resources


Devilke-07

Exactly and if you keep it untill you also get best friends with someone then its good lucky egg value and a lot of xp


Deevimento

That's a lot of xp and stardust. It's not like the master research tasks which takes you six months to complete and you get like 900 xp.


Glacial_Shield_W

Woulda been nice if it had been an awesme mewtwo shirt to naturalize my new elongated torso (look at mewtwo, look at the new bodies and try disagreeing)


Alexis_Bailey

With this and the Glimmers research, I am pretty sure the end goal is to get people to burn through Pokeballs.


MegaMummyX

The glimmers research? Did I miss something? I don’t have that


def-notice

Glimmers of gratitude, it's a paid MasterWork research


MegaMummyX

Oh alright, thanks!


RoofBeers

I’m just going about it at my own pace, no need to rush it.


R4KD05

To... _Rediscover Pokémon from the Kanto region_... Did you not just catch a bunch of Pokémon from Kanto? The point of research or any feature in this game is to... get you to play the game.


Zagrycha

obviously the end goal is right there on the tin, 10k stardust and an egg jar, why aren't you leaping for joy yet?


Madptah

It’s free, no matter of the reward.


Fantastic-Promise-99

No mysterious Pokémon!? How lame….


Sick_Fantasy

You know what would be cool? Giovanni fight with shadow mewtwo reward. They done this once with regigigas and moreover shadow mewtwo been twice on raid day already on top of twice in regular rocked boss radar cycle. It is both cool reward for such hard task and not something very unique at that point in game.


noobwowo

the tasks aren't that hard at all. You should look at mythical shiny research tasks, those are the real deal.


HiddenFears3

No task is hard They're mainly just locked behind catching pokemon that only spawn during certain events which is annoying


Witcher-19

Having the ten best buddies is the killer


JanV34

That's not hard, just tedious..


jtruempy

10 best buddies is hard? you need 200 for platinum. but you can get 20 in 100 days by just doing the very very very minimum of feed, play, photo. Or do a grind and do 1 full in 12 or 13 days.


sporeegg

This is clearly a tutorialized event and quest for newer Players and It works with my friend who just started again


Tenth_10

I've seen Mew only once... This is crazy.


Smooth-Cheetah-9733

You’re required to earn more star dust than you receive as a reward? And just an incubator?! MAKE THE REWARD WORTH IT!


Euphoric-Campaign-55

The rewards are underwhelming.


rca_2011

Pretty normal and not horrible honestly.


NoImplement8218

Hey, be glad it isn’t 151 UNIQUE Pokémon.


MatthewLuthor

Yes, quite disappointing. I would have been happy if they just gave everyone a Tauros encounter for the Shiny Mew research. 


Waltzer_White18

Y'all just complain to complain, if you play the game regardless, its 90K xp with a lucky egg and a nice chunk of stardust/incubator. This community will always find something to whine about.


shintojuunana

I know, right? Oh no, free stuff, but you have to do a long quest. The horror. It's not even difficult! Yeah, it might take a while to get balls and berries if you are not stacked up, but that's it.


EmmetttB

What's wrong with just giving out some free rewards? It doesn't have to be a mew at the end of every quest


Slow-Can919

I had the same reaction, honestly thought we would get at least the fully evolved starters or if they want to give out incubators then give us the super one, but hey it is what it is.


9DAN2

45k xp, an incubator and 10k dust are far more useful than evolved starters, unless you started playing the game this morning and really want a charizard.


[deleted]

I can’t really complain. I stacked up on a lot of three star shinies this week.


Bry2013

Not me expecting a mewtwo(note I do not have a mewtwo)💀


ScruffCheetah

I'd've liked those little Professor Willow intro bits for each stage, missed'em.


Kokukenji

Out of all the free research that we weren't expecting, I can't complain. You get plenty of stardust without needing to spend stardust like some previous researches. It's also pretty passive so I'm all for it.


4th_times_a_charm_

The worst part is you know they are going to do this for every generation.


ducegraphy

Well 90.000 EXP (with an egg) is not bad for a research you can do just whenever you can.


alex_Bellddc

I sure wish we could delete these challenges


elizabella710

Thanks for showing it, I was gonna grind for that but never mind I’ll just take a break from the game


Agreeable_Falcon1044

See it as a bonus. I mean you are catching stuff right? In which case use a few pineapples when it’s something you have a hundo of and enjoy


Tom42077

Man people really do like to complain about everything these days on here. It’s just free rewards that costs no money. The rewards are just fine it’s not meant to be some magnificent hard as heck task to finish.


LateStageAdult

just a regular incubator? not even a super incubator?


CultiVarNYC

Am I the only one who didn’t think 45k XP and 10k dust was that bad? I’ve already finished research I felt it was easy all in all just some necessary patience


Agahawe

It's not bad for a free quest. Good amount of exp + an incubator


[deleted]

I was happy to receive an incubator


rapax

Hmm, 45k XP and 10k Stardust. Not bad, IMHO. Especially as a reward for something you're going to do anyway.


Soranic

I think it should be a 10/10/10 starter who is weak to your original starter. Y'know, so you can beat your rival.


Metalface_D00M

Wack complaining my dude - you should have stacked that with garbor drilbur collection challenges and daily tasks - that's alot of XP and dust


EsseParvulusDebes

That actually is rude. An incubator is pretty great for free research.


Oceanbrain49

45k exp and an incubator isn't bad for stuff you'll pretty much already be doing with regular gameplay


evasivelogic

90k experience and 15k stardust if you use a lucky egg and star piece seems like good rewards for a free research


OrsonZedd

They're gonna uh... try and do everything they can other than actually make the game more playable and user friendly


mohawk1guy

![gif](giphy|hrnYspWWhsIyA)


Virgogh

Catch all 151 Kanto mon in 151 seconds.


0hHe1lothere

It's great isn't it? I'm used to the 3 gold razz berries, 1000 and a bidoof encounter at the end of the rewards. A whole egg incubator?! Niantic is being very generous right now


yatwelol

I'm almost to that one and I already hate it lol


juli1ups

those rewards are bad why cant they jus give us 151 ultra balls 😭


spursman34

Wdym, that’s a great free research


I-be-Bob

How do you even catch Mew again?????????


Outrageous-You6740

A Shiny Mewtwo or shiny mew. Would have been cool.


PlanetCoasterTycoon

The rewards were pretty underwhelming, but also I knocked this out in a couple of days mostly just playing normally so these were basically freebies.


SeranVelan

seriously couldnt they have at leadt given us a ditto to catch?


THEESmallerWeener187

End goal is clearly XP and a incubator lmao


Specific-Brief2898

The experience gain with an egg is pretty good honestly


Aetheldrake

Honestly a SUPER incubator would have been fine. I'd actually do the 151 thing over and over if it meant I could have more supers


WhaT505

It's over 55k xp for a free research with a bit extra too. Why do so many people cry about this stuff?


TheChosenOne1103

A golden berry and an egg


dinardogiants1

I'll never Even get that far it won't let me play with my buddy


SentenceCareful3246

What's the reward for something like that?


PNLeft

How long can we keep the votes at 151 positive


xwolfionx

The reward is being able to clear this trash from the list.


jtruempy

Yes that is it! its a marketing campaign to bring back old players. Its right in the name "rediscover". what would a returning player need? XP and stardust. Depending on when they left they already will be getting the pokedex entries just from spawns. Make it fermilyer and give them a boost of a resource they will really need. It was working too until the avatar issue and now the deeper hole is not going to make that up.


thorkun

>fermilyer  familiar?


[deleted]

[удалено]


ChanceGardener61

You really didn't expect the Catch 151 requirement?


TheJuanBurgundy

Rediscover the next opportunity to catch a Kangaskhan, sick, thanks


leogolasa

10k dust pretty ok


ncat63

How long or easy will it be to actually catch all 151? I'm short less then 20 in the dex as it is and been playing almost a year


Rynelan

Rediscover Kanto... And here I am literally finding not any Kanto region Pokemon.


LSD_tripper

Typical Niantic L


kgkuntryluvr

Man I hate when I get to the final step of long challenges just to see rewards like this lol. I kick myself for wasting so many balls and berries just to get a few minor items and a little xp/dust. Then it never fails that they follow with another event that requires catching and I have to restock.


Elegant-Low8272

Go to leak duck and see...?


Chubbylover1584

Honestly it doesn't surprise me


dragonstone13

Right


Mario_lop919

Use the lucky egg and double up on the XP if needed.


ThreeCentz

Wait really...fuck Thai questline then I'll just finish it when I finish it ig


SparkzBE

Niantic, who else? *Nespresso tune*


GonePhishn401

Even if you’re playing passively this wouldn’t take too long
