Among the spooky and seasonal content, Niantic is running a new one-day event called Limited Research Day, which will have players encountering plenty of Meowth.
On Oct. 10, the event will feature new Timed Research tasks that players will be able to complete from 8am to 10pm in their local time zone.
Meowth will be appearing in all of its regional variants, meaning players can encounter the Normal-type Kantonian Meowth, Dark-type Alolan Meowth, and Steel-type Galarian Meowth, all within the same event. And finishing the tasks will grant usual rewards, like Berries, Poké Balls, and other encounters.
For any trainer who wants to try and capture all of the various forms of Meowth, here are all of the Meowth Day Special Research tasks and rewards. Just remember you only have one day to complete them all.
