I miss getting legendary Pokémon out of the research breakthrough box. Now it’s just a farfetched

[ignignol]

FYI: I completed the Distracted by Something Shiny Celebi quest this year. The requirements to beat Jessie and James were just replaced with beating normal grunts instead.

I remember the good ol days where you could get legendaries from weekly research…

I still have lugias from them

2:01 id say the hardest part of 'A Mythical Discovery' is evolve a magikarp only because you need 400 magikarp candy (360 if purified) and that can take hours of walking with one as your buddy and hoping to find some in the wild

[A-SavageRedneck]

They need to bring back the legendary research boxes

[JamesHynz]

Evolving a magicarp in the mew research was a task, especially because I just evolved one before unlocking that page

[PurpleLugia]

I will die on the hill that if Niantic wanted some real profits by more people... they could sell Tickets of all the old Special Research quests that reward legendary Pokemon (not just Mythicals but also like Regigigas, Keldeo, Cosmog, the free Ultra Beasts, etc) and other limited release Pokemon (such as free regional Pokemon). Players who missed out on those would likely be willing to pay real money for the chance to catch up on missed content.

Getting Zarude and watching the movie was an awesome experience!

[Struhsie]

Zarude is one of the few Pokémon I did not have the opportunity to obtain. Really hoping it comes back someday!

[gagelochard]

Doing the evolve a magikarp for Mew is incredibly difficult

[vXizv]

Another two free mythical pokemon are victini and jirachi. I think jirachi is from the "a thousand year slumber" research and the victini is from another research

My daily incense hadn’t worked for about 6 months, then it randomly started working again. Before it stopped working I encountered a moltres but I didn’t catch it. I got Articuno! I masterballed it and am very happy :) yesterday I encountered moltres again but didn’t catch it but 2 birds in a month is crazy!

[Judeman]

Pretty sure that the normal Special Research quests for Celebi, Jirachi, Victini, Meloetta, and maybe Shaymin are also available

[BigBrotherMateyka]

An absolutely crucial addendum to this video: you can potentially obtain Legendaries (for free) by winning 3 out of 5 battles per set at Rank 20 or higher in GBL. Mind you, the chances are only about 5%, but they do come with free XLs, which is massive.

Got a 96% (15/14/14) Zarude. I’ve been slowly trying to powering it up to level 50

[vampxily]

I actually didn't complete my shiny celebi quest until December 2022 and it actually wasn't hard bc after Jessy and James left you could just fight grunts instead

[iStunnerr]

I took a break from Pokémon 2018-august 2019 and I only needed 1 day for the box and came back and got a shiny kyogre on my first day back and didn’t realize how lucky that was at the time

[randyfluegge]

Got my shiny celebi, zarude, and the Regis. I remember the legendaries in the breakthrough box. Good old days.

[endablox]

id also like to mention the shiny galarian birds will most-likely never release because im pretty sure they only got released from a mystery gift in sword and shield (or just never lol)

[peapeaboy]

Just now noticed that his shiny mew and shiny celebi have the same cp when he caught them
