To progress through the new Special Research, Pokemon Go players must have obtained Hoopa. The event’s Special Research centers around a mysterious bottle delivered to Professor Willow’s doorstep, which hints at Hoopa’s other forms. As a result, players will have the opportunity to change Hoopa’s form in the game for the first time. Hoopa can be changed from Confined to Unbound form with 50 Hoopa Candies and 10,000 Stardust, and back to Confined form with 10 Candies and 2,000 Stardust. During the event, players can obtain a free Hoopa T-Shirt, which will also be sold in the game’s Store once Mischief Unbound comes to an end.
In addition to the new Special Research, players can expect to see a plethora of legendary Pokemon appearing in Raid Battles during Mischief Unbound. On November 26th, Articuno, Zapdos, and Moltres will appear. On November 27th, players can find Heatran. November 28th will highlight Regirock, Registeel, and Regice. Finally, November 29th will put the spotlight on Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion. Shiny versions will also appear during the event. Event bonuses include double transfer candy, and double XP on catches.
