All Stunfisk Limited Research Day research tasks and rewards in Pokémon Go

Watch your step!

After a brief period of absence, Pokémon Go’s Limited Research Day event has made a big return with a double focus on Stunfisk and its Galarian counterpart. This means players can encounter both Pokémon more frequently and finish some event-exclusive research to get some extra Stunfisk.

While Stunfisk and Galarian Stunfisk are in the spotlight on April 23, with the event running from 2pm to 5pm local time, there are some other Pokémon that will make an appearance too.

The pool of featured Pokémon centers around Ground types like Larvitar, Barboach, and Drilbur. But most players will be more interested in catching a Shiny Stunfisk, which is available for the first time as part of this event—though there is a catch.

If you plan to take part in the event, most of the Limited Research Day research will focus on the available Pokémon and how you catch them. Here is how you can complete all of the research tasks and rewards while getting some bonus encounters with Stunfisk along the way.
