Why is this Limited Research happening?
NianticShiny Galarian Ponyta was unlocked as part of the Pokemon Go global Fairy challenge in May 2021.
It was supposed to be a Research Breakthrough reward, but something went wrong, and Niantic have now apologized by introducing another way to encounter the rare creature.
All trainers have received this Limited Research, regardless of whether or not they played the game during the Research Breakthrough error. This means everyone now has an extra two chances to catch a Shiny Galarian Ponyta.
If you don’t get lucky with a Shiny Galarian Ponyta encounter, there’s still another way to potentially get one: hatching 7km eggs. Get through as many of those as you can, and keep your fingers crossed for that rare encounter!
June is an exciting month for trainers. Alongside the new Season of Legends, there’s also the launch of Pokemon Go Battle League Season 8 – and we’ve got suggestions for the best Great League team to get you started.
