'Pokemon Go:' Complete Celebi Special Research Tasks Revealed

After several days of research, Pokemon Go players have finally discovered the complete list of research tasks needed to encounter and capture the mythical Pokemon Celebi.

Pokemon Go added the new Celebi Special Research quest last week, giving players a chance to capture their second Mythical Pokemon in the game. Celebi first appeared at Pokemon Go Fest earlier this summer, but this is the first time that the Mythical Pokemon has been available to all players at the same time.

Like the Mew Special Research earlier this summer, the Celebi quest had some tricky research tasks that took some time for even the most dedicated Pokemon Go players to complete. As such, it took players until this weekend to start completing the Celebi quest and adding the Mythical Pokemon to their Pokedex.
