Pokémon Go is celebrating the latest Pokémon film, Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, coming to Netflix with a crossover event that features returning content and some new Pokémon.
Running from Oct. 1 to 10, the main reason to participate in the event is the exclusive Special Research, which will allow players to encounter the Mythical Pokémon Zarude for the first time. Other Pokémon featured in the movie will also be appearing, including Larvitar, Dwebble, and Explorer Pikachu.
Jessie and James are making a return as well. They’ll be appearing in Snapshots and on the overworld map in their Meowth Balloon until Oct. 15 at 10am local time. Players will also have access to free avatar items and themed Field Research during the event.
If you plan on exploring the jungle in hopes to encounter the Rogue Monkey Pokémon, here are all of the tasks and rewards you can expect for the event’s research.
