Pokemon GO's Searching for Legends event is now officially underway, and it features a variety of spawn increases and the arrival of some brand new Shiny Pokemon. There is also a Today's View Research associated with the Searching for Legends event, and it is comprised of numerous tasks and rewards. For those Pokemon GO players that would like a comprehensive rundown of these tasks and rewards, that is exactly what can be found in this guide.

Before getting into full details on the PoGO Searching for Legends Timed Research, it is worth mentioning that players will earn several Nosepass encounters as they work through its steps. Fans that want to get their hands on a new Shiny Nosepass are thus advised to carve out some time in their schedules for completing all of these tasks. They should additionally plan to work on the event-exclusive Field Research, as several of those tasks also reward Nosepass encounters.

pokemon go searching for legends research

As Pokemon GO players that peruse the preceding list will see, the Searching for Legends Timed Research tasks are quite varied in their instructions, and some will undoubtedly prove to be quite time consuming. Fans do have until March 14 to finish these tasks, though, and that should be a large enough window for players that remain focused in their efforts. That said, there is another set of new Research that has just gone live, and it may prove to be slightly distracting.

More specifically, PoGO's Season of Legends Special Research is also now available, and it features five-steps-worth of tasks and rewards. There is no rush to complete that Research, though, and players with limited playtime should likely focus on more-pressing matters first.

Pokemon GO is available on Android and iOS.
