PoGO – Pokémon GO: New tasks for “A colossal discovery” special research

After the event around Regice, Regirock and Registeel ended in Pokémon Go, the developers at Niantic have changed the requirements for the Regigigas special research “A colossal discovery”. So now ticket buyers still have the option to complete the special research without having to hope for a return of the Regi trio in the Tier 5 Raids.

In Pokémon Go, after the completion of the event around the legendary golem trio Registeel, Regice, and Regirock, the special research “A Colossal Discovery” for Regigigas has changed for all those who bought the ticket but did not complete all the steps of the special research. Also, if you only completed individual tasks of a step, the steps have been completely replaced. You no longer have to catch certain types of Pokémon, do raids with Registeel, Regirock and Regice, or take their snaps. Instead, you’ll have to catch mountains of pocket monsters and win some Raids. We explain what you need to do now for the special research A colossal discovery in Pokémon Go. You can find the old guide to the Regigigas special research here.

Pokémon GO

Pokémon Go is the mobile spin-off of Nintendo’s popular Pokémon game series for Android and iOS. It is a so-called “location-based game”, i.e. a game that uses the player’s immediate surroundings. It is based on the principle of augmented reality.

Pokémon Map: Between landmarks and sights

Pokémon Go uses a Global Positioning System (GPS) to determine the player’s location and displays it on a map that also represents the playing field. The map is based on OpenStreetMap maps. The game is played mostly outdoors and uses landmarks, landmarks and other notable or eye-catching objects in the world to position either PokéStops or arenas there for you to battle for supremacy. Join either Team Intuition (Team Yellow, Zapdos), Team Wisdom (Team Blue, Arktos), or Team Daring (Team Red, Lavados). Under their flag you can then fight for the arenas, which are placed at hotspots like churches or similar. Pokémon can appear anywhere, though.

Pocket monsters visible on the Pokémon Go Map are randomly loaded into the game’s virtual map by the game server. If several players are playing in the same location, each player can see and catch the Pokémon independently of the others.

Pokémon Go Updates, News, Raids and More

The developers at Niantic regularly provide Pokémon Go with new updates or special raids that should only be tackled in a group of several people. The Pokémon Go Raids are therefore very popular, as they also offer the prospect of particularly rare Pokémon. For example, in the past, legendary Pokémon could always be caught on special occasions (Pokémon Go events). For particularly eager mobile or smartphone Pokémon trainers, there is also an external IV calculator, such as the online tool from Pokemon.gameinfo.io or on Pokefans.net, to check the values of your Pokémon.
