Pokemon Go’s Masterwork Research: Glimmers of Gratitude offers a rare opportunity to catch a Shiny Mythical Pokemon, so here’s what you need to do to complete its tasks and earn a Shiny Shaymin.
In Pokemon Go, the Masterwork Research tasks ask players to purchase a ticket to participate in extensive events with no time limit. The reward for completing these is an encounter with a rare Mythical Pokemon, though you’ll have to work for it, as it can take a long time to finish all of the research involved.
The latest Masterwork Research is called Glimmers of Gratitude, and it involves Shaymin, the flower hedgehog Mythical Pokemon that debuted in Gen 4. Those who tackle this Masterwork Research are guaranteed an encounter with Shiny Shaymin.
So, let’s break down each task you’ll need to complete and the rewards you can earn.
