Aspiring Pokemon GO trainers are constantly seeking new adventures to expand their collection and advance in the game. Among the legendary creatures waiting to be captured is Celebi, a rare and mythical Pokemon that poses a significant challenge.
To embark on the Celebi Special Research quest, known as A Ripple in Time, players must first complete the seventh step of the A Mythical Discovery special research, which grants an opportunity to catch Mew. Attaining level 15 is a prerequisite to unlock the A Mythical Discovery segment. Similar to the Mew quest, the Ripple in Time Special Research for Celebi consists of eight distinct steps with various objectives that must be fulfilled for players to encounter the elusive Celebi.

Unraveling the Mystery of Shiny Celebi in Pokemon GO
The possibility of encountering a shiny Celebi in Pokemon GO is a tantalizing prospect. However, obtaining a shiny variant through the A Ripple in Time special research is currently unfeasible. The Celebi encountered during this quest will always be shiny-locked. Players seeking a shiny version must exercise patience and await Niantic's announcement of special events featuring the shiny form.
Navigating the Challenges and Rewards of A Ripple in Time
Delve into the intricate steps and rewards of the Celebi Special Research in Pokemon GO to conquer each stage successfully. Apart from the rewards granted upon completing an entire step, individual objectives offer bonus XP to players.
Strategies to Overcome Step 1 of Celebi Special Research
The initial step may seem simple, but it is crucial for players aiming to swiftly progress through multiple stages. Engaging in raids is a key task, with no specific star or type requirement. While other objectives are self-explanatory, players should note that powering up any Pokemon in their collection suffices - repetition on the same Pokemon is unnecessary.
Tactics for Conquering Step 2 of Celebi Special Research
Progressing through the second step poses an initial challenge in the Celebi Special Research of Pokemon GO. Making three new friends is relatively straightforward, while catching a Pokemon daily for three consecutive days necessitates genuine patience. Evolving a second-stage grass-type Pokemon to its final form, such as Ivysaur or Bayleef, is a key requirement but offers flexibility in Pokemon selection.
Mastering Step 3 of Celebi Special Research
Acquiring a Sun Stone from the preceding step facilitates the evolution of Gloom or Sunkern. Leveraging raids for rapid level progression in Pokemon GO is advisable to swiftly reach level 25. Expedite egg hatching by utilizing Super Incubators to streamline this aspect of the quest.
Successfully Navigating Step 4 of Celebi Special Research
While the conventional Eevee evolution method involves a name trick, evolving Eevee into Espeon or Umbreon in this quest mandates a different approach. Walking 10km with Eevee and evolving it during daylight transforms it into Espeon. The name trick involves renaming Eevee as Sakura to trigger the desired evolution.
Conquering Step 5 of Celebi Special Research
Walking 10km with Eevee and evolving it during nighttime marks a key task in this step. Identifying nighttime in Pokemon GO is simple - a darker game map signifies nighttime. Players can expedite this evolution by renaming Eevee as Tamao, bypassing the time-based requirement.
Mastery of Step 6 in Celebi Special Research
The necessity to catch Pokemon daily for a week in this step serves as a deliberate pacing mechanism. Leveraging evolution items obtained from prior steps to evolve Pokemon aids in fulfilling the final objective efficiently. While this step may prolong the quest, its completion is straightforward.
Achieving Success in Step 7 of Celebi Special Research
Capturing 40 Grass or Psychic-type Pokemon presents a notable challenge, although common Grass-type Pokemon are readily available. Executing an excellent curve throw may require practice, but obtaining a Johto Gold Medal necessitates catching 70 Johto region Pokemon. Each task contributes to the ultimate goal of encountering Celebi.
