Pokemon Go Celebi Coming Soon
By Zac Cameron ·
Datamining has confirmed that we'll soon be seeing the second mythical Pokémon making its appearance in the popular mobile game.
Pokémon Go will soon see another mythical Pokémon making its appearance, with Celebi confirmed to be coming soon. The mysterious Pokémon will likely not be coming as a normal encounter however, with its appearance likely tied to a Special Research Quest similar to that of Mew’s. Additionally, it looks like those attending the Pokémon Go fest in Chicago will have the first crack at capturing the elusive Pokémon.
Special Research Quests are much more story orientated than the usual game objectives, with specific steps required in order to complete them. It also looks like trainers who attend the Pokémon Go Fest in Chicago will be the only ones able to start the quest chain, at least initially. Details on what must be done were data mined and appeared on The Silph Road subreddit. Here is what we know so far:
- A total of five steps to complete
- Challenges to hatch an Egg, earn Buddy Candy and visit PokéStops
- Catching Unown, Plusle and Minun
- Story text hinting at Celebi's time travelling abilities
As a part of their 2nd anniversary announcement, Niantic also revealed that Celebi and the quest to capture it will be available to all players in the near future, which is promising to hear, if a bit vague on exactly when. We’ll keep you posted when we have more details including how to capture Celebi.
