All Pokémon Go Catch Mastery: Ice Timed Research research tasks and rewards

To celebrate the potential for snow during December, Niantic is launching the third Catch Master event—this time with a focus on Ice-type Pokémon. Pokémon Go players will be able to encounter select ice types more frequently and a set of massive Timed Research to complete themed around Cryagonal. 

The Catch Mastery: Ice event runs Dec. 9 from 10am to 8pm local time. This means you only have one day to complete 10 pages of Cryagonal-centric research, which will let you encounter a total of 40 Cryagonal—with an increased chance of finding a Shiny too. Snorunt and Bergmite are also featured encounters spawning more frequently in the wild during this event and every Nice, Great, and Excellent Throw will net you double XP.
