The summer's biggest Pokemon GO event, Pokemon GO Fest in Chicago, is officially underway! That means that players at the event are getting access to all kinds of special spawns and bonuses and even have the chance to be the first to work through a brand new special research chain to unlock a Jirachi encounter that will hopefully be tweaked and launch for the rest of the community sometime after the event.
Keep in mind that only players at Pokemon GO Fest are able to participate in this special research quest line. Some tasks are specific to GO Fest 2019 spawns and locations, so even when a different version of the Jirachi quest launches for the general public, some aspects will likely be different.
