Big news, Trainers! Niantic has just updated the Pokemon GO It’s Not Over Yet Special Research, making it easier than ever to complete. Players no longer need to fuse a Zekrom with a special item. Here’s what’s changed and how it affects your gameplay.
New Task Breakdown (4/5 Stage):
- Catch 50 Fire-type Pokémon – Reward: 25 Rare Candy XL
- Catch 50 Electric-type Pokémon – Progress counts immediately!
- Use 50 Nanab Berries while catching Pokémon – Reward: 5000 Stardust
Completion Rewards:
5 Dialga Candies, 1 Silver Incense, 2025 XP
What Changed?
Originally, players were required to fuse a Zekrom with a special item, which proved difficult for many. The update removes this fusion requirement entirely, replacing it with catch-based tasks and berry usage. This change has been confirmed by players seeing updated quests in their app.
Why This Matters
This update makes the Special Research more accessible, especially for casual players. You can now complete it solo without needing rare fusion items, making it a perfect opportunity to earn valuable rewards like XL Candy and Stardust.
Tips for Fast Completion:
- Use Lure Modules to attract Fire and Electric-types.
- Use Nanab Berries on common Pokémon to quickly hit the 50 usage goal.
- Track local spawns during weather boosts for more efficient catches.
Final Thoughts
Niantic’s decision to simplify the Pokemon GO It’s Not Over Yet Special Research shows they’re open to community feedback. Jump in now, complete the tasks, and claim your rewards—no Zekrom fusion needed!
