Mythic Blade began on December 6 in Pokémon GO, but we’ve had to wait a few days for the main event to truly begin with Keldeo at the center of the action. Now that the weekend is here, the Something Extraordinary Special Research story is finally live and there are plenty of rewards to be earned.
Before we get into the research details, it’s important to note that the Special Research story isn’t free for everyone. Not only do you have to log into the game over the weekend, but you’ll have to pay $8 for the event ticket as well. Once you’ve done both of those, you can begin your research, and we’ll cover all of those steps here.
