As a seasoned Pokémon GO trainer with years of experience under my belt, I must say that the upcoming Legendary Heroes event has me more than excited! The prospect of encountering Shiny Zacian for the first time and the introduction of Sword and Shield-themed Timed Research is simply thrilling.

Pokémon GO Legendary Heroes Timed Research

At the upcoming event, I’m thrilled to share that we’ll all have the chance to grab some exciting Branching Timed Research! This research offers a variety of rewards such as items, XP, Stardust, and Pokémon encounters. The Pokémon you’ll encounter will be influenced by the path you choose. There are two paths available: the Sword Path and the Shield Path. Each choice leads to unique and exciting encounters!

The course you take during this period will decide the specific Collection Challenge you’ll face, as well as which Pokémon are drawn towards Incense throughout the event.

The paths will produce the following:
