Pokemon Go Limited Research Day in September Will Feature Shiny Inkay
Pokemon Go players are in for a treat this September as Niantic announced a Limited Research Day event featuring the shiny variant of the Psychic- and Dark-type Pokemon, Inkay. During this special event, trainers will have the opportunity to catch more Inkay than usual and potentially encounter its elusive shiny form.
The event will take place on September 1, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. To participate, players must open Pokemon Go during the specified time frame. Inkay will be drawn to Incense during the event, increasing its spawn rate, making it easier to find and catch.
Shiny Pokemon are highly sought after by trainers due to their rare and unique appearance. Shiny Inkay stands out from its normal counterpart with a golden body instead of blue. Its evolution, Malamar, also shares this shiny adaptation. Collectors and enthusiasts will surely want to add this shiny variant to their collection.
In addition to encounters with Inkay, trainers can participate in various event-exclusive Field Research tasks and rewards. By completing these tasks, players can earn in-game items such as Poke Balls, Berries, and Pokemon encounters. There may even be a chance to encounter a shiny Inkay as a reward for completing specific tasks.
During the event, players can activate an in-game ticket for the Special Research story, “Misunderstood Mischief.” This research will guide trainers through a series of tasks and narrative elements centered around Inkay and its behavior. By completing this Special Research, players can earn even more rewards and learn fascinating details about the Pokemon.
To enhance your Pokemon Go experience, Niantic has also provided a few tips and tricks for the Limited Research Day. Using Incense a few minutes before the event starts can maximize the chances of encountering Inkay. It is also advisable to have a good supply of Poke Balls, Berries, and Incense before the event begins, ensuring that you can make the most of the increased spawn rate.
Don’t miss this Limited Research Day event in September, offering the chance to catch shiny Inkay and enjoy exclusive rewards. Mark your calendars, prepare your supplies, and get ready to embark on an exciting Pokemon Go adventure.
