Pokemon GO players have until 8:00pm local time on July 12 to purchase the Masterwork Research story and acquire the All-in-One 151 quest, allowing them to add a shiny Mew to their collection. Shiny Mew is an incredibly rare Pokemon, making this a special opportunity for Pokemon enthusiasts to obtain this elusive creature.
The All-in-One 151 quest was introduced to Pokemon GO as part of the game's seventh anniversary celebration. It was previously available during Pokemon GO Tour: Kanto in 2021. Players who already completed the previous version of the quest are not eligible for the new one. However, those who missed out on the previous quest can now purchase and complete it to obtain a shiny Mew.
The Masterwork Research ticket for the All-in-One quest in Pokemon GO was initially released on July 6th and is set to be removed from the shop within hours. To participate, interested individuals must purchase the ticket for $5.00 and launch the game before 8:00pm local time. By doing so, the Masterwork Research quest will not expire. Consequently, Pokemon GO players who acquire the ticket and open the app before 8:00pm tonight have ample time to complete the quests and capture the elusive shiny Mew.
Some Pokemon GO players who would normally be interested in this opportunity may have decided not to buy a ticket in protest of the game. Pokemon GO made changes to its Remote Raid Pass system that have frustrated many fans. These fans have pledged not to make any purchases in the game and some have even deleted the app from their phones.
For those who are not protesting, it is important to purchase the All-in-One 151 Masterwork Research story before 8:00pm local time to ensure inclusion. Although the quest may return in a future update, there is no guarantee. It is also possible that Game Freak and Nintendo may offer Pokemon fans the chance to obtain a shiny Mew in one of the mainline Pokemon games, but this is also not guaranteed. To be safe, it is advisable for anyone who wants a shiny Mew for their Pokemon GO collection to complete this Masterwork Research quest while it is still available.
Pokemon GO is out now for iOS and Android mobile devices.
