- Pokemon GO's next Research Day on September 22 will feature Oranguru and Passimian with boosted Shiny rates.

Niantic announced that the next Pokemon GO Research Day event will begin on September 22 with Normal/Psychic-type Oranguru and Fighting-type Passimian as the featured Pokemon. Like previously held Timed Research events, Pokemon GO players may complete Field Research tasks to earn free rewards and additional encounters that could yield a Shiny Pokemon.
September 10 marked the debut of Dynamax Pokemon in Pokemon GO during the game's latest season, aptly titled "Max Out." Themed around the Galar region's Pokemon and the Dynamax form, Pokemon GO's Max Out season will bring several limited-time events through December 3, including more Community Day events and the new Psychic Spectacular event. One of the first Research Day events for the Max Out season will focus on monkey and primate Pokemon from past events.
Pokemon GO Adding New Pokemon in Upcoming Event
Pokemon GO announces the addition of new critters in an upcoming event, and details the other bonuses that will be available to players.
The Pokemon GO Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian event will be held on Sunday, September 22, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time. During the event, players may receive new Field Research tasks from spinning Photo Discs at PokeStops in Pokemon GO. Completing these tasks will grant players encounters with Oranguru and Passimian. If they're lucky, players may also encounter a Shiny Passimian in Pokemon GO for the very first time. In the wild, players will also encounter Mankey, Aipom, Slakoth, Chimchar, and Grookey more often than usual. The boosted encounter rate for these Pokemon will mean that the chances of encountering a Shiny variant is slightly higher as well.
Pokemon GO Research Day: Oranguru and Passimian Event Details
- Sunday, September 22, 2024, from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM local time
- Field Research tasks grant additional encounters with Oranguru and Passimian, along with other rewards.
- Mankey, Aipom, Slakoth, Chimchar, and Grookey appear in the wild more often.
- $2 paid Timed Research offers more Oranguru and Passimian encounters.
What's more, event-exclusive paid Timed Research will be available for $2 in the Pokemon GO in-game shop with additional rewards and encounters. According to Niantic, the paid Timed Research offers the exact same Shiny encounter rate for Oranguru and Passimian as the Field Research, and the tasks and their respective rewards must be claimed by 5:00 PM local time on September 22.
Players may also purchase the Oranguru and Passimian Timed Research and give it to friends with a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher, thanks to Pokemon GO's gift system. It's worth noting that these purchases are non-refundable, and the gift tickets cannot be purchased with PokeCoins.
Many more events are on the way, with one of the next being the Pokemon GO Ponyta Community Day event on September 14. Like the new Research Day event, players may benefit from a boosted encounter rate that could produce a Shiny Ponyta for lucky Pokemon GO players. Several Pokemon will also make their Pokemon GO debut throughout the course of the Max Out season.
