Celebi, the Time Travel Pok\u00e9mon, is a Grass\/Psychic-type Mythical Pok\u00e9mon introduced in Pok\u00e9mon Gold and Silver<\/em>. Since its release, it’s been a rather elusive creature for trainers to get their hands on. <\/p>
In the mainline Pok\u00e9mon games, Celebi can only be obtained through special distributions and codes, whereas in Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> only one has been available per trainer through the \u201cA Ripple in Time\u201d research.<\/p>
But another Celebi will be available for Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> players to obtain with special research releasing on Dec. 14 at 8am local time alongside an event tying in with the upcoming movie Pok\u00e9mon: Secrets of the Jungle<\/em>\u2014this time in its even more rare Shiny form.<\/p>
To catch the Shiny Celebi, one of the main protagonists of the next Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>movie, players must complete a new special research, but they won\u2019t be working with Professor Willow this time around. They will be working closely with Team Rocket members Jessie and James, who are attempting to locate Celebi and use it for their own nefarious plans.<\/p>
This special research includes catching and interacting with a variety of Grass-type Pok\u00e9mon, growing closer with your Buddy, and hatching eggs. Just like in the games and in the anime, you will have to battle against Team Rocket numerous times, so make sure to stock up on Potions and Revives. <\/p>
Jessie and James will also be returning in their infamous Meowth balloon to battle, and each have new parties with new Shadow Pok\u00e9mon that can even be Shiny. Defeating this troublesome duo is crucial to completing the special research, since you won\u2019t be able to get Shiny Celebi without fighting them a few times. But as we all know, Team Rocket always comes back for their target, so finding them during the event period shouldn’t be difficult. <\/p>
Don\u2019t fret if you cannot complete the special research within the event duration. If you start it during the event, you will have permanent access to it and will be able to complete the tasks at any time. Just be warned that Jessie and James only appear during special events and can\u2019t be normally encountered like other Team Rocket grunts.<\/p>
Players will be able to transfer their newly caught Shiny Celebi from Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> to Pok\u00e9mon Sword <\/em>and Shield <\/em>through the Pok\u00e9mon HOME software, but only if they have a sufficient amount of GO transporter energy to do so. Since Celebi is a Mythical Pok\u00e9mon, and it happens to be Shiny this time around, it will require an entire bar full of GO transporter energy to be sent to Pok\u00e9mon HOME.<\/p>
The Pok\u00e9mon GO<\/em> event featuring aspects of the upcoming film Pok\u00e9mon: Secrets of the Jungle <\/em>will run until Dec. 17 at 10pm local time, but players will be able to continue the special research for Shiny Celebi permanently if they start it during the event period. No international release has been given for Pok\u00e9mon: Secrets of the Jungle <\/em>as of yet, but we are likely to look forward to the tale of the Mythical Pok\u00e9mon Zarude, Celebi, and the mysterious child Coco in the coming year.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
