Scheduled Research Guide for the Pokémon GO Hoenn Celebration Event

Kanto Celebration Event: Timed Research Tasks and Hoenn Rewards

Below are the tasks and rewards for completing the timed search for the Hoenn Celebration Event titled Kanto Celebration Event: Hoenn.

• Catch two Kyogre - 10 Kyogre candies
• Catch two Groudon - 10 Groudon candies
• Catch 30 Pokémon - 30 Poké Balls

Rewards: An encounter with Rayquaza (with a charged Hurricance attack), 3000 XP and a Sliver Pinap Berry

The last task is easy, just catch a bunch of Pokémon before the event ends, which takes place on Sunday, January 24 at 20 p.m. local time. But those first two could be difficult. To help you out, we have Raid Guides for Kyogre and Groudon ready to give you all of the best counters.

To complete the first two tasks just use these guides to remove them, then you still need to catch them. To do this, you will probably want to use Golden Razz berries until the tasks are completed, as they give you the best chance of capture.

Also try to get great throws when you can. You can increase the chances of this by holding the Poké Ball until the circle becomes small enough for an Excellent, then let go and wait. Watch for them to attack and when they catch the ball roll up a curved ball and throw, aiming for the center. It won't work every time, but it's better than missing due to attacks or getting nice shots instead, due to timing.

And here's our timed search guide for the Pokémon GO Hoenn celebration event for the Kanto Celebration: Hoenn quest, including all the tasks and rewards for completing.
