Searching for Gold Research Day Pokemon Spawns, Featured Pokemon, Bonuses, and Research Tasks
Spawns
Pokemon GO enthusiasts attending the three-hour event can anticipate a greater probability of encountering certain Pokemon. The list includes Weedle, Bellsprout, Poochyena, Buizel, Tympole, Shelmet, Stufful, Lickitung, and Azumarill. In case of an asterisk next to the Pokemon's name, players may also have a chance of encountering a Shiny version.
Event Bonus
The Searching for Gold event bonus will turn some PokeStops gold without the need for Golden Lure Modules.
Players should be aware that Roaming Form Gimmighoul cannot be found at these unique PokeStops. However, they still have the opportunity to spin the PokeStop image and receive Gimmighoul Coins as a reward.
Field Research Tasks
The specific Field and Timed Research Tasks for the event are not live just yet, but we will update this section and the next one to include the information once we know more.
Players can earn encounters with various Pokemon by completing Field Research Tasks found by spinning PokeStops during the event. The Pokemon that can be encountered include Caterpie*, Magikarp*, Nosepass*, Sableye*, and Barboach*. It's worth noting that some of these Pokemon may also appear in their Shiny form.
Players can access the Timed Research Tasks by purchasing a ticket for $1 in the Pokemon GO shop. However, it's important to note that the tasks must be completed and rewards claimed before the event ends, otherwise the money spent on the ticket will be wasted. Fans can purchase tickets ahead of time starting on May 31 at 5 PM PT.
