Niantic has revealed that the upcoming Pokémon Go Research Day event will spotlight Oranguru and Passimian.
Currently, Pokémon Go is bustling with activity due to the ongoing Max Out season, which has introduced new features like Dynamax along with a wider array of Pokémon from the Galar region.
The Research Day event focused on Oranguru and Passimian will also feature other primate-inspired Pokémon, including several fan-favorite starters.
Here’s all the essential information regarding the Oranguru and Passimian Research Day.
Date & Time
The Research Day event will occur on Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 2 PM to 5 PM local time.
Shiny Passimian Debut
This event will mark the debut of Passimian’s Shiny form in Pokémon Go.
While Oranguru’s Shiny has been available since Pokémon Go Fest 2023, Passimian was only introduced during the 2023 World Championships Celebration event.
This means that both featured Pokémon have a chance to be Shiny during this event.
Featured Pokémon & Wild Encounters
Throughout the event, players can engage in event-themed Field Research tasks for the chance to encounter both Oranguru and Passimian.
Moreover, various simian Pokémon will appear in the wild. Below is the list of Pokémon available, with those that can be Shiny denoted by an asterisk:
- Mankey*
- Aipom*
- Slakoth*
- Chimchar*
- Grookey
Paid Timed Research
Additionally, there will be a paid Timed Research option for Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian, priced at $2 (or the local equivalent). This research will challenge players to complete Field Research for enhanced chances to encounter the featured Pokémon.
Remember, Timed Research has an expiration, so ensure that you finish and claim any rewards before the event concludes at 5 PM local time.
