A new Research Day is now available in Pokémon Go, and this time players are digging for gold alongside a few featured Pokémon.
Searching for Gold Research Day will run from 2pm to 5pm local time as a special event to kick off the Hidden Gems season. Plenty of event-themed content will be available, including PokéStops turning gold on their own and Roaming Gimmighoul making occasional appearances.
The five featured Pokémon for this event are Caterpie, Magikarp, Nosepass, Sableye, and Barboach—though there are plenty of other Pokémon appearing too. All of the featured Pokémon will appear during the Gold Research Day and as special bonuses for completing event-themed Field Research.
