Summary
A new Special Research has left somePokemon GOplayers stuck due to a task that asks them to catch Emolga. Finding Pokemon in the wild is the common way forPokemon GOplayers to get new critters, but research offers chances to get special Pokemon. They can be Legendary Pokemon, shiny variants, or Pokemon making their debut in Niantic’s game.
Pokemon GOhas four research types, one of which is Special Research.Pokemon GO’s Special Research is conducted by Professor Willow, and although the tasks are more challenging, they offer better rewards. There are many notable examples, such as Glitz and Glam, the research that markedDiancie’s global debut inPokemon GO. During Pokemon GO Fest 2024, new Special Research was released, but some unlucky trainers had trouble with one of the tasks.
SomePokemon GOplayers got stuck on one of the tasks of the Special Research, “The Dawn of a New Discovery,” in which it is necessary to catch seven Emolgas. One of these players is Reddit user leroyyrogers, who picked the Emolga path thinking only of getting the Pokemon as a reward. But they were surprised to discover that, to complete the Special Research, catching Emolga was one of the tasks.Pokemon GOadded Emolga in 2020in the Unova Week event, but the Flying/Electric-type has become a relatively rare spawn, so finding it is rather tricky.
Pokemon GO Special Research Confuses Some Players
The OP’s account is not an isolated case, as other comments on their post have reported similar situations. OnePokemon GOplayer said that Crabrawler “were everywhere,” but once they selected the Pokemon’s path, “suddenly there were only Emolgas around.” In a second comment, a trainer said that after choosing Ducklett’s path, they no longer saw the Water/Flying-type Pokemon. OtherPokemon GOplayers used Incenseand needed hours to progress in the task during GO Fest, while some luckier ones said they didn’t have so much trouble.
As with other research,Pokemon GOplayers who have unlocked The Dawn of a New Discovery survey can complete it in their own time, as it has no end date. As well as having encounters with Emolga, Ducklett, and Crabrawler as a reward,Pokemon GOplayers who progress to the second part of the research will have the chance to obtain Cosmog. That is a golden opportunity, as Cosmog evolves into Lunala or Solgaleo, making players closer togetting Necrozma’s fusions inPokemon GO.
