Field Research Tasks

Event-themed Field Research tasks will be available! Field Research rewards include the following.

🚨Note important🚨

TRY TO GET THE NEW RADA TO CATCH GROUNDON INSTEAD OF CRESSELIA, BECAUSE GROUNDON IS STRONG FOR PVP MASTER LEAGUE AND CRESSELIA IS ONLY FOR COLLECTION AND CAN’T DO ANYTHING 🙀

At Hotel time, oh no, exactly 5pm on August 7,

Kiribati will be the first country after 12am on August 8, 2024

So Flyers will fly here to get the Giovani quest set, coordinates:

– Kiribati 1.98725,-157.47717

Not everyone can get the Giovani quest

Some accounts must complete the quest in the Special research section to see Giovani

So anyone who doesn’t have the Giovani quest is too normal usually

In addition to Kiribati, there are some other countries that will also have it, the following time frame

– 19:00 in New Zealand -41.28021,174.76894

– 21:00 in Sydney (AU) -33.860997, 151.212792

– 22:00 in

Osaka (JP) 34.69761,135.49672

Tokyo (JP) 35.69612,139.81392

Matsuyama ( JP ) 33.839598,132.765011

Seoul (KR) 37.654892,127.06099

– 23:00 in Taiwan 25.033080,121.521931

Vietnam 12:00 a.m.

Save Note:

After getting the Giovani quest set, do the quest to get the black boss Rada, the boss radar is not the white radar from the Leader, please note

After getting the radar, fly back to the country on August 7, 2024, which is the old day, remember to fly to the old day country before 10pm on that day to get Groundon, because Giovani operates during office hours, it has a time frame to meet Giovani like the 5* Raid time, at night, no one has the boss, understand

Note do not play HOT AIR BALLOON to get Groundon, because the hot air balloon depends on the first place to log in the account to show the hot air balloon

For example, when you first enter the game on the new day August 8, 2024, if you accidentally see a hot air balloon, then even if you log out and go back to the old day, that hot air balloon is still the boss of August 8, not Groundon 😰

Although I know it’s a bit long, anyone who reads this must be very angry 🤣

After having the boss radar, remember to go back in and out of the old day to locate the old day, guys

Boss Giovani has many grunts disguised as him, so if he’s not the boss, please keep looking until you find the boss.
