Now, the Rock\/Fairy-type Mythical Pok\u00e9mon will be free to claim via Pok\u00e9mon Go Special Research Story: Glitz and Glam which will go live on May 1 for all players\u2014though there is one big caveat for players who already caught a Diancie during Go Fest 2023.\u00a0 While the Special Research Story: Glitz and Glam will be free for everyone starting on May 1 at 10am local time, only players who have not encountered Diancie before will be able to catch the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon. If you previously purchased and completed the Go Fest 2023\u2013exclusive Special Research, you will get Diancie Candy instead of another Diancie encounter.\u00a0 This is a big downside that Niantic has done multiple times when it comes to Mythical Pok\u00e9mon being made obtainable after originally being locked behind an event paywall. Additionally, it is unlikely Diancie will be available again for quite some time once access to this Special Research story goes away. However, Niantic has confirmed that the Special Research will never expire once claimed, so you can finish it at your own pace. Field Research will be available from May 1 at 12am local time to May 3 at 11:59pm local time that will let you collect Diancie Mega Energy and stack up encounters with Carbink, however, which you will want to do since you need 300 Diancie Mega Energy to access Mega Diancie. \u201cNO Shiny Carbink. NO second Diancie if you played Go Fest last year. Major L,\u201d Twitter user Duke1782 said, summing up some of the player frustrations with these restrictions.","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Diancie-Pokemon-TCG.jpeg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1210597"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1706"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1210597"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1210597\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1210627,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1210597\/revisions\/1210627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1210608"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1210597"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1210597"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1210597"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=1210597"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=1210597"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=1210597"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=1210597"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

If you previously purchased and completed the Go Fest 2023\u2013exclusive Special Research, you will get Diancie Candy instead of another Diancie encounter.\u00a0 This is a big downside that Niantic has done multiple times when it comes to Mythical Pok\u00e9mon being made obtainable after originally being locked behind an event paywall. Additionally, it is unlikely Diancie will be available again for quite some time once access to this Special Research story goes away. However, Niantic has confirmed that the Special Research will never expire once claimed, so you can finish it at your own pace. Field Research will be available from May 1 at 12am local time to May 3 at 11:59pm local time that will let you collect Diancie Mega Energy and stack up encounters with Carbink, however, which you will want to do since you need 300 Diancie Mega Energy to access Mega Diancie. \u201cNO Shiny Carbink. NO second Diancie if you played Go Fest last year.
