Pokemon Go: How to Get Zarude

By Christian Hoffer

Pokemon Go has a brand new Mythical Pokemon. Today, Pokemon Go rolls out its Secrets of the Jungle event, which celebrates the pending worldwide release of Pokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle. The event will feature increased spawn rates of several Pokemon who appear in the movie, including Oddish, Diglett, Nuzleaf, and Dwebble, as well as the reappearance of Explorer Hat Pikachu. However, the big draw of the event is a Special Research event that involves the Mythical Pokemon Zarude. Zarude is a Dark/Grass-type Pokemon that made its first appearance in Pokemon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle and is making its Pokemon Go debut as a part of the event. 

Players can obtain Zarude by completing the appropriately named "Search for Zarude" quest. While the Special Research is labelled as a five part quest, the final part is solely rewards with no tasks to complete. Players will earn 3,000 XP, a Zarude Encounter, 10 Zarude Candies, and 1,000 Stardust for completing the quest. Please note that players have to log in during the Secrets of the Jungle event to obtain the Special Research, but there is no timeline for actually completing it.
