Pokemon Go Wish Granted Masterwork Research tasks & rewards

Daniel Megarry

The Pokemon Go Wish Granted Masterwork Research quest is a massive challenge that leads to an encounter with Shiny Jirachi, so here are all of the tasks and rewards involved so far.

There are plenty of things to enjoy during February’s Pokemon Go Tour Hoenn event, including the long-awaited debut of Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. The biggest addition for Shiny collectors, though, will be the arrival of Shiny Jirachi.

While the Mythical Jirachi debuted in Pokemon Go back in 2019, the only way to get a Shiny Jirachi will be to purchase an in-game ticket for the Wish Granted Masterwork Research during Pokemon Go Tour Hoenn and complete all of the tasks.

Unlike Timed Research and Special Research quests, Masterwork Research quests usually take months to complete, so if you’re wondering whether it’s worth your time, we’ve rounded up all the tasks and rewards we know about below.

How to get Shiny Jirachi in Pokemon Go

The only way to catch Shiny Jirachi in Pokemon Go is to purchase a ticket for the Wish Granted Masterwork Research quest from the in-game shop before Friday, March 20, 2023.

Once you’ve got a ticket for the Wish Granted Masterwork Research quest, you’ll still have a long road ahead of you before you can catch a Shiny Jirachi. Many of the tasks included in this quest require weeks of continuous gameplay, and Shiny Jirachi will likely be the big final reward.

It’s currently unknown if you’ll ever be able to encounter Shiny Jirachi outside of this Masterwork Research quest, so if you’re determined to catch one in Pokemon Go then this is the only guaranteed method – at least for now.
