Players who didn't purchase a ticket to Go Fest can now encounter Victini.
Update (10/02/2020): This series of Special Research tasks has been renamed “Investigate a Mysterious Energy.”
Original Story:
Trainers, a new series of Special Research tasks is available to complete in Pokemon Go.
The series is called “The Feeling of Victory,” and, according to The Silph Road subreddit, it has six different sets of tasks to complete.
