“A Mythical Discovery” Pokemon GO Quest Guide

Not to be confused with the Field Research Quests, Special Researches aren’t Daily Quests but are special, story-based quests that usually contain eight different stages of objectives. To open the Special Research menu, tap on the binocular icon and press the Special tab. Once you complete all of the “A Mythical Discovery” Special Research Quest objectives, you will obtain the Mythical Pokemon Mew.
