Pokemon GO Fest 2020 Day 2 Special Research – Victini, Mewtwo, more

Victini is now available in Pokemon Go as part of the GO Fest 2020 Day 2 Special Research. Niantic have out done themselves with this special quest as Mewtwo, Articuno, Zapdos and Moltres all feature.

Trainers will be delighted to finally get their hands on the Gen 5 Mythical Pokemon, albeit currently limited to ticket holders only. For those who do have a GO Fest 2020 ticket you’ll need to purchase one from the Pokemon Go app between 10am and 8pm in your local time zone should you want to participate.

The GO Fest Day 2 Special Research is called “Rocket Straight to Victory”. Unsurprisingly the tasks primarily revolve around Team GO Rocket related activities.

It is a six stage quest that has an astonishing five Mythical/Legendary encounters. Victini is of course one of them but each of Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres and Mewtwo (in their Shadow forms) will be rewarded first.

This means it is far easier to defeat them and you can take advantage of the rewards and Shadow Pokemon they leave behind. Maybe they’re on the ropes from their recent return!
