A Mystic Hero might be one of the smaller Pokemon GO events, but it is perfect for players who like to earn rewards for completing Research. This is because the event has added two new Research Stories for players to complete.
One of them is Timed Research, meaning it must be completed before the A Mystic Hero event ends at 10 PM local time on April 17, 2023.
Meanwhile, the other is Special Research, which can be completed at any time, as long as you claim it by logging in during the event.
