Next weekend, Pokémon GO is launching a new 'Limited Research' event style, and things are kicking off with a particularly elusive monster to snag for your collection.
On 19th January, players will be able to complete special Field Research tasks that all focus on one particular Pokémon - Feebas. Known for its unique evolution into Milotic (in which it must be walked as your buddy Pokémon for 20km before gobbling up 100 Feebas candy) this Pokémon will become available in encounters triggered by those featured tasks; if you're lucky, you might even find a shiny version of the monster.
It would appear that this will be a new, regular thing for 2019, joining the already-popular Community Days (the next of which takes place tomorrow), and will likely play out in a similar way to last year's Squirtle Squad bonus tasks.
If you want to join in the fun, here are the times you'll need:
- Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and India: Jan. 19, 2019, from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. UTC (GMT +0)
- The Americas and Greenland: Jan. 19, 2019, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. PST (GMT −8)
- Asia-Pacific: Jan. 20, 2019, from 12:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. JST (GMT +9)
Will you be heading out on the 19th to snag some Feebas? Do events like these keep you interested in playing the game? Let us know in the comments.

The last thing this game needs is even more three-hour limited events.
It's just research tasks, possibly nothing else happening in the same three hour period. There's no reason this should not be a day or weekend long event.
This is just using the same basic system as a community day, which already does three hours of unique research tasks at most Poké Stops.
They picked a good Pokemon to lure me in. Shiny Milotic is one of my absolute favorites!
I'll give it a shot if I have the time, which I "should".
Yeah these keep me interested but I hate the timing - not everyone can commit a 3 hour chunk of their Saturday to play Pokemon Go. Make it a full weekend event so everyone can join in!
I wish this event was available before I spent weeks setting Feebas as my buddy.
Well, I'm glad I haven't walked my Feebas for 20km yet!
The weekend is the actually when I have least time for gaming. Will definitely try for a shiny however, can’t resist.
Let's be friends in Pokémon GO! My Trainer Code is 4065 1155 0858!
