All Catch Mastery Timed Research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

You probably won't need to fight back.

The first Pokémon Go event for March is now underway, with players getting some intense training from Fighting-type Pokémon during the Catch Mastery event. 

Recommended Videos

Running from 10am to 8pm local time on March 5, an increased number of Fighting-type Pokémon will be appearing—with a specific focus on Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop, with Tyrogue thrown in via 7km Eggs. 

Throughout the event, Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop will have a higher chance of being Shiny. Additionally, all of the research going live will give players dozens of bonus encounters with Hitmontop along with some nice rewards too.
