As a part of the Pokémon GO 7th Anniversary celebrations, Niantic announced a special Masterwork Research event called All-in-One #151, the reward from which is an encounter with a Shiny Mew.

Of course, a Pokémon of this rarity was always going to be a hot item and while the path to this encounter is one that is relatively clear, there is an awful lot to do — this is a Masterwork Research, after all. With this in mind, we have laid out all of the steps that you will need to take in order to come into contact with the legendary Pokémon.

In the following guide, we will cover how to get involved in the All-in-One #151 Masterwork Research, the tasks that you will have to complete and the rewards that are available along the way.

Let's go catch 'em all.

All-In-One #151 Times And Dates

Launching as part of the Pokémon GO 7th Anniversary Celebrations, this is a ticketed event. That means only have a limited time to begin the All-in-One #151 Masterwork Research, though once you have started it you can complete the tasks at your own pace.

You can get an event ticket for £4.99 / $5 via the in-game shop from 10am local time on 6th July 2023 to 8pm local time on 12th July 2023. Ticket holders will gain entry to the Masterwork Research story and must open Pokémon GO at least once between these dates to begin the first step.

Once you have opened the app and received the Masterwork Research, you can complete it at any time.

This Masterwork Research was previously run back in 2021 and, unfortunately, if you purchased a ticket to Pokémon GO Tour: Kanto during this time, you will not be able to buy one for the All-in-One #151 event.
