All Pokémon Go: Mareep Community Day Classic Special Research tasks and rewards

This event shouldn't shock players.

The final Community Day Classic event of 2023 is here, with Niantic putting the focus on Mareep before Pokémon Go enters its next season of content in December. That means one last normal set of Timed Research to complete for some extra rewards and encounters.

During this event, which runs from 2 to 5pm local time on Nov. 25, Mareep will be spawning more frequently in the wild with boosted Shiny odds. Evolving a Flaffy into an Ampharos between 2 and 7pm local time on Nov. 25 will also know the Charged Attack, Dragon Pulse. As for event bonuses, you will have Egg Hatch distance reduced by 75 percent and a three-hour duration for Incense and Lure Modules

Just like with other Community Day events, a $1 ticketed Special Research is available to purchase. This will net you extra Mareep encounters and Candy with other goodies too like a Rocket Radar and XP. If you plan on being out for the entire three-hour event period, this is probably worth picking up, and here is everything you need to do to complete the entire Mareep Community Day Classic Special Research story.
