How to get the Keeping Sharp Special Research quest

To get access to the Keeping Sharp Special Research quest, you’ll need to purchase a ticket from the in-game shop for $1 / £0.79 or the equivalent price in your local currency.

You’ll then need to log in during the event to claim the Special Research quest. For reference, the Axew Community Day takes place on June 10, 2023, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time.

Once you’ve claimed the Special Research quest, you’ll be able to complete it in your own time, although it will be easier to finish during the Community Day as many tasks revolve around catching Axew.
