Pokemon Go has launched many events for the month of April, among these events, the Tricky Pokémon timed research event is also back. Throughout Thursday, April 1, 2021, Pokémon prone to mischief will be appearing more often in the wild—some of them may even be Ditto in disguise.
Some of them appear to be causing trouble for Team GO Rocket, too, so it’s the perfect time to complete Team GO Rocket Timed Research and rescue Shadow Zapdos from Giovanni’s clutches.
Players should remember that this research event is a one-time event, so they should definitely complete this without fail.
