How to get the Larvitar Community Day Classic Special Research story in Pokemon Go

To unlock the Larvitar Community Day Classic Special Research story, you can purchase a ticket from the in-game shop. This will cost $1 (£0.79) or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency.

You’ll need to log in to Pokemon Go during the event to claim the Special Research story, but once you’ve done this you can complete it in your own time – even after the Community Day Classic is over.

Having said that, it will be much easier to complete this Special Research story during the event, as a lot of the tasks require you to catch and evolve Larvitar.
