Pokémon Go’s latest research event featuring Sneasel went live earlier this week. Completing event-exclusive field research tasks will grant you encounters with Sneasel, giving you a chance to add the Pokémon to your collection.
While the odds are unknown, you can also get your hands on a Shiny version of the Ice/Dark-type Pokémon during an encounter. This is the eighth Limited Research event in the game’s history, each featuring a different Pokémon.
You’ll have a single day to complete all the 20 tasks, and they aren’t any time consuming at all. Even playing the game like you usually do should be enough to complete most of the tasks. The event will conclude at 10pm local time, meaning you don’t have to bring out your timezone converter.
