To celebrate Pokémon Go’s third birthday, the developers at Niantic have introduced a new special quest to the game called “Research to Launch.” What is known so far about the individual steps and what rewards you can expect, we tell you in our guide to the quest in Pokémon Go.
The developers at Niantic are celebrating the third anniversary since the release of the AR app Pokémon Go and have come up with all sorts of fun bonuses that the trainers among you can enjoy. For example, trading Pokémon costs less stardust (only a quarter of the usual price) and you can also find Shiny versions of ALoLa Pokémon.
In addition, the special research “Research to get started” has become available. First datamined hints suggest that you will be rewarded with a Dratini, a Lapras and a guaranteed Shiny Evoli as part of the quest steps. At least that’s what PoGo datamin Chrales found in advance.

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.
