As part of Sustainability Week 2023, Niantic has added a new Special Research to Pokémon Go: “Grass and Gratitude,” which rewards Land Forme Shaymin.

As you complete the set of Special Research, you’ll actually be able to catch Shaymin as a reward for the sixth step. The seventh step, as usual, will auto-complete, just handing you some bonus rewards.

This research set became available to all players on April 20, and it has no time limit on when you have to complete it, so take your time unlocking the cute little hedgehog buddy.

Some players may already have Shaymin from a previous paid research ticket. Even if you paid for and completed this ticket, you will be able to get another Shaymin.
