Why am I not seeing this Team GO Rocket Special Research?
When a new Team GO Rocket Special Research comes out, Trainers are often confused as to why they haven’t received the new quest line yet. The most likely, almost always correct, explanation is that you still have an unfinished Team GO Rocket research in your Special Research tab.
If you have any of these Special Research stories, and you have progressed beyond the first page of it, you need to finish it, before you can receive any new Team GO Rocket Special Research.
Here are some previous TGR Special Research you may have active:
- A Troubling Situation – a prerequisite research that you need to finish in order to receive any of the future Team GO Rocket Special Research storylines.
- Looming in the Shadows
- A Challenging Development
- The Take-Over Continues
- A Professor’s Work is Never Done
- The Shadowy Threat Grows
- An Inter-egg-sting Development
- The Higher They Fly…
- A Seven-Colored Shadow
- Silent Schemes
- Field Notes: Team GO Rocket
- Ultra Beast Protection Efforts
- Shadowy Skirmishes
- From The Shadows
- A Shadowy Disturbance
- Showdown in the Shadows
- It’s a Rocket World
