Pokemon Go's Sneasel Research Day is Today
01/30/2021 09:55 am EST
Pokemon Go is hosting a Limited Research event today featuring the Dark/Ice-type Pokemon Sneasel. Players will have the opportunity to complete a total of 60 different research quests, each of which rewards players with a Sneasel encounter. Sneasel's evolved form Weavile is one of the better Ice-type and Dark-type Pokemon available to use in raids and gym battles, so today is a great chance to add a solid Pokemon to your collection. Sneasel's shiny form is also available in Pokemon Go, and many players are reporting finding at least one Shiny Sneasel over the course of the event. The event runs from 8 AM local time to 10 PM local time, giving players plenty of time to complete the Limited Research.
Like previous Research events, the Sneasel Research Day features ten sets of tasks that rotate twice. Each quest's completion reward is a Sneasel encounter and players also earn additional items and XP for completing sets of three tasks. You can also use today's Sneasel Research event to make progress towards completing the Johto Celebration Limited Research, which has a task that requires players to capture 15 Dark-type Pokemon.
Here's the full list of Research quests that you can complete during today's Sneasel Research Day. Remember that all tasks have the same base rewards - a Sneasel encounter. Players can earn up to 66 different Sneasel encounters, which means that players can hypothetically earn up to 396 Sneasel Candies if they use Pinap Berries.
