The latest Pokemon Go event is Animation Week, a celebration of Ash Ketchum and Pikachu’s latest adventures. With that comes special Pokemon spawns, new egg hatches, and a limited Timed Research. This series of quests has the player catching many of Ash’s Pokemon, as well as those of his new travelling companion Goh. You’ve only got until next Friday the 13th to complete the series, though, so we’ve broken down every step to help you decide if it’s worth rushing to complete the Research.
This info comes from the always-helpful players at the SilphRoad Pokemon GO subreddit.
