How to Get Shadow Mewtwo
Since this experience is only for those who purchased tickets to Pokemon GO Fest, players will need one to collect this corrupted version of the popular Psychic-type. The second day of the event comes with theRocket Straight to Victoryspecial research, a series of tasks that reward players for completing them. Shadow Mewtwo is the reward for completing the fourth task, titled “Defeat Go Team Rocket Boss Giovanni.” Once Giovanni is taken care of, players just need to tap that completed task and they will earn a chance to capture Shadow Mewtwo.
As part of the reward for completing the fourth task, players are also given twenty ultra balls, two incense capsules, and aVictini encounter. This Pokemon was teased in the days leading up to Pokemon GO Fest through Strange Scraps. These are images with scraps of paper and drawings on them that were shared online through social media. Players were meant to connect the dots and pick through the clues to realize that the mythical Pokemon Victini would be part of GO Fest.
Withover 1 million GO Fest 2020 tickets sold, there are a lot of trainers online catching Pokemon and joining in on the festivities. The special encounters and chances to catch extremely rare Pokemon are always a plus, but the event also brings plenty of opportunities for players to round out their collections. There are currently spawn increases for every habitat, which are all uniquely themed, contain specific Pokemon, and rotate each hour.
Additionally,GO Fest brings new and shiny Pokemonto the event. Many of the new Pokemon come equipped with an adorable Pikachu Visor. Today is the last day to take advantage of these spawns, so players will want to log in even if it’s just to snag the Special Research. Thankfully, once collected, players will have the opportunity to complete the Special Research even after GO Fest ends.
