Pokemon GO Announces New Research Day for September 22

Key Takeaways

  • Pokemon GO’s next Research Day on September 22 will feature Oranguru and Passimian with boosted Shiny rates.
  • Paid Timed Research will offer the same Shiny encounter rate as Field Research for $2.
  • Field Research tasks grant Oranguru and Passimian encounters and rewards, along with boosted wild appearances.

As a dedicated Pokémon GO enthusiast with over a decade of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that the upcoming Research Day event on September 22 is shaping up to be one for the books! The prospect of encountering Shiny Oranguru and Passimian, along with boosted wild appearances of monkey and primate Pokémon, has me absolutely thrilled.

Niantic has revealed that the upcoming ‘Pokemon GO’ Research Day event starts on September 22. In this event, Oranguru, a Normal/Psychic-type Pokemon, and Passimian, a Fighting-type Pokemon, will be prominently featured. Following the pattern of previous Timed Research events, ‘Pokemon GO’ players can complete Field Research tasks to receive free rewards and chances for encountering a Shiny Pokemon.

On September 10th, the introduction of Dynamax Pokémon took place in “Pokémon GO” as part of its current season, creatively named “Max Out.” This season, inspired by the Galar region’s Pokémon and the Dynamax form, will offer a series of special events lasting until December 3rd. Among these events are additional Community Day activities and the new Psychic Spectacular event. The initial Research Day event for the Max Out season will center around monkey and primate Pokémon that were previously featured in past events.

On Sunday, September 22, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM in your local time, there’s going to be an event in Pokemon GO, called the Pokemon GO Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian Special Event. During this event, players can get new Field Research tasks by spinning Photo Discs at PokeStops within Pokemon GO. Successfully completing these tasks will result in encounters with Oranguru and Passimian. If you’re fortunate, you might even come across a Shiny Passimian in Pokemon GO for the first time ever! In addition, during this event, players will find Mankey, Aipom, Slakoth, Chimchar, and Grookey appearing more frequently than usual. The increased encounter rate means that your chances of finding a Shiny variant are slightly better too.

Pokemon GO Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian Event Details

  • Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time
  • Field Research tasks grant additional encounters with Oranguru and Passimian, along with other rewards.
  • Mankey, Aipom, Slakoth, Chimchar, and Grookey appear in the wild more often.
  • $2 paid Timed Research offers more Oranguru and Passimian encounters.

Additionally, exclusive, event-based Timed Research will go on sale for $2 in the Pokemon GO shop. This includes extra rewards and encounters. As stated by Niantic, these paid Timed Research events provide the same Shiny encounter rate for Oranguru and Passimian as Field Research, but you’ll need to claim the tasks and their respective rewards before 5:00 PM local time on September 22.

Players can buy the Timed Research for Oranguru and Passimian through the Pokemon GO game, and then offer it to friends who have a Friendship level of at least Great Friends or higher, thanks to the game’s gifting system. It’s important to mention that these purchases are not refundable and cannot be bought using PokeCoins.

More events are coming up, and one of the upcoming ones is the “Pokemon GO Ponyta Community Day” on September 14th. Similar to the new Research Day event, players might enjoy an increased encounter rate that could potentially result in a Shiny Ponyta for fortunate “Pokemon GO” users. Additionally, several Pokemon are set to make their debut within the “Pokemon GO” universe during the Max Out season.
