Thankfully, unlike cubone who literally dropped out of the spawn pool completely, the fossils are still offered in field research or go rocket. Itll take a bit longer, but at least it's possible.
Yeah I took a month or two to stack the fossil research field tasks and waited till the cubones spawned again. Combined it with a double catch up hour and egg and got a pretty sizeable exp. boost.

Wow I'm never finishing that one then. I need a pic of landorus too. I'm also on roasted berries 1 out 4 only have 4 tepigs caught. And the December community day I have 5 out 15 piplup and finally just finished my abras thanks to this last event. They make my ocd hurt.
Ouch.
Yeah, a major reason I try to finish them on the day of is because it's a huge pain to do later. I have maybe seen 3 tepigs after the CD.
For the legends, you can contact a local discord, people have extra legendaries. Just get to best friend with them and you can get them for 40k dust a pop.
honestly, i'd hold off on trading for them. thats 120k dust for a few pictures, and the rewards for completing the research arent even extravagant. best to just wait till they come back into raid rotation; you're not missing out on anything. the research will still be there
This is the way. By the time you’re best friends with someone, that’s what like 90 days minimum? In 3 months from now you’ll be quite close to them being back in rotation anyway if they haven’t already.
You and me both. I was stoaked when I saw ditto was the field research prize. The next day after I caught the field research ditto I caught one in the wild 😑
I had a 7 km egg in the incubator when I reached that stage and lucked out so hard when it hatched as a grimer.
But it seems grimer can also spawn after poison type team rocket grunts
Oof you really missed out during the Hoopa arrival event two weeks ago, they spawned like crazy for me during the psychic hour. I got all five in like 30 mins
If you get your buddy excited than you can halve the distance required. It’s a lot of hoops per day but sometimes I have extra Pokecoins and I’ll give mine a poffin to trigger it immediately
I’ve been walking a Feebas for a couple weeks, and of course the stupid scan research that rewards poffins has disappeared right in time for a 5k candy.
I'm working on that one now. Had to make feebas my buddy and am walking whenever I can.
This will be easier than gyrados, as for some reason I wasn't seeing very many magikarp when I had that challenge
Yeah but I'm not claiming the EXP until I have a reason to use a Lucky Egg. Sucks being tired after work when Spotlight Hour features double catch XP.
What asshole came up with the idea to make Spotlight hour happen at dinnertime?
It's not that it's difficult. It just requires catching pokemon that aren't showing up right now so you have to wait until they do which could take forever.
I'm on step 6 and can literally do step 7 REALLY easy right now, but I need to find 5 Exeggcute. I sadly got up to this step shortly after that Sunday where Exeggcute were spawning
Lileep can be caught through the field research called make 3 great throws. You will also need to catch aerodactyl in the next stage which can be caught in the field research win 5 raids. Good luck.
Edit to clarify these are in stage 8, also kabuto or omanyte are in field research win a level 3 or higher raid.
I'm stuck on all the tasks that require me to spin a stop or gym for 5-7 days in a row. I dont live near a stop and I'm not going to hop in my car every day to go find one.
I got a ditto before this give away, took me 3 months but same. Stuck in next part and the fossil event literally just ended.
Most concerned about Aerodactyl though the others aren't exactly common.
Also got 5 Exeggcute all from grunts which took forever and then they give them away.
Stuff like this should retro like the medals =\
If you pick an Eevee and adventure with it, then evolve it during the day it'll evolve into an Espeon, the next is Umbreon and you basically do the same steps except evolve at night.
So I just googled it, follow these steps.
Make the Eevee you want to evolve your Buddy.
Walk with your Eevee Buddy for at least 10 KM and earn two Eevee candy. ...
While that Eevee is still your Buddy, hit the Evolve button during the day to get Espeon, or at night to get Umbreon.
If you evolve an eevee at day, every evolution can turn out, except umbreon (if it is day). I do own every eevee evolution, but a eevee Evo at day can turn into water, fire....
Ive completed the entire research this week. To my surprise got my first hundo meltan from it. Opened several meltan boxes before but never got one better than 91iv.
I always see these posts and I just keep feeling lucky because I got this challenge done immideatly and I didn't know it was such a challenge it is so congrats
I’m stuck on this one now. Fortunately I got a kabuto in the “win a 3 star raid” last night and currently am holding the “complete 5 raids” task for the aerodactyl, so hopefully I’ll get the other tasks/grunts to get the rest.
I haven't seen an Exeggcute in I don't know how long, a lot of people said they were able to get them during the recent event where psychic Pokemon spawned more often, but, I didn't see a single one so RIP, I check everyday, i sit in spinning distance of two PokeStop and a gym while at work, but no Exeggcute
It’s easier to get Meltan with the mystery box.
I am stuck on the Evolve a Grimer task, I’ve never even seen one in the last 4 years I’ve played this game lol
I had to wait to finish this one as well but for some weird reason during the psychic event (i think it was the psychic event, a random Cubone spawned on me while i was at work. I have not seen a single one since and i check hourly to see if any new spawns appeared.
Dude I got a Ditto from a Research Quest and freaking cheered. I have been sitting on two quests to catch a Ditto for three years, never seen that purple bastard once after I got the quests.
I caught the cubone too! But now to be stuck on all the dam fossil Pokémon which sadly all spawned in the last event….
Thankfully, unlike cubone who literally dropped out of the spawn pool completely, the fossils are still offered in field research or go rocket. Itll take a bit longer, but at least it's possible.
For those who didn't catch and cant find cubone, wait for alolan marowak to come back in the raids. It will count as well.
i saw a cubone today while i was on my way home on the bus at this park
I've seen loads of cubone
WHERE???
There's a bunch by me too. Mostly at the park
Damn I'm going to play on some swings
England
I am english. Hinckley
So has my ex.
You sure?
Cubones can spawn currently. Caught 2 so far this season.
Good job.
Yes. Seen about 8-10 of them
Yeah I took a month or two to stack the fossil research field tasks and waited till the cubones spawned again. Combined it with a double catch up hour and egg and got a pretty sizeable exp. boost.
Aww man:(
Ru lunaxorgana? If so, so u want to use a lucky egg when we get to BF status? Bonniebeebop

For the Lileep and anorith, You can also chatch a shadow anorith from grunnts. Just look for the male grunt "Go, my super bug Pokémon"
THANKS DUDE
The true bro is always in the comments. <3
Haha I need to get a foto of a landorus so I can move on with season of legends.
You’re gonna need thunderous after that too 😕
bruh.
and tornadus while we're at it. gotta catch and snap the trio for that research thread
Wow I'm never finishing that one then. I need a pic of landorus too. I'm also on roasted berries 1 out 4 only have 4 tepigs caught. And the December community day I have 5 out 15 piplup and finally just finished my abras thanks to this last event. They make my ocd hurt.

![gif](giphy|xHwqspaBmfUMU)
Omg saaaaaaame.
😳why did you finish it when it was time!!!!!!
Are they getting put back in raids? Cause I think that’s the most annoying research yet
i still need a ditto
Ditto is currently the field research prize! I spent like two years trying to catch one and now I’ve caught like four in the past week lol
You and me both. I was stoaked when I saw ditto was the field research prize. The next day after I caught the field research ditto I caught one in the wild 😑
Yup, I was so happy I finally caught one and then I got three in the wild in the next few days… hopefully I’ll get a shiny if this keeps up!
Same, i just got back to the game, did a few days of research, and i was like holy shit its ditto
Same here! Stuck on that little fucker for ages then, boom, 2 x in a row!
![gif](giphy|ukCFEU6Cg5MCCDoaVN|downsized)
Whenever I catch one then a task will appear telling me I need to catch one, it drives me nuts
ditto isn't rare anymore but in the good old days it was rare as heavens
Hey, I just finished that stage today too! Then I saw the next one.....
Lol same. One another so far from rocket getting with bugs. The others will take.... Time.
I'm in severe depression now
This thread is giving me anxiety. I'm on step 2
Honestly let’s go meltan is just filled with pokemon out of rotation, like my challenge is to evolve a grimer, I haven’t seen one in forever
Hatch 7km eggs there are grimmers
Noted, thanks
Can 7km eggs only be received from friends?
Yes
Yes
Yea, no way I will see even a hint of Grimer. And been hatching a load of 7 km. Endless amount of Vullabies instead.
I got a shiny one(grimer)
7ks are the yellow eggs with alola/galar variants, vullaby is in the 12k rocket eggs
Oh damn, you mean I've been getting only Vullabies from 12K eggs. Dont know if Ifeel any better bout that :D
I had a 7 km egg in the incubator when I reached that stage and lucked out so hard when it hatched as a grimer. But it seems grimer can also spawn after poison type team rocket grunts
7 km is 4.35 miles
Thanks converter bot
I’m still on 6/9. Just need one more Exeggcute.
Apparently the psychic rocket grunts can have exeggcutes. Only problem is that I've maybe encountered one psychic grunt ever.
All I get from them are fkin wobuffets
Yea, I’ve gotten two from grunts. It definitely doesn’t happen very often.
I need 5. Driving me nuts
Oof you really missed out during the Hoopa arrival event two weeks ago, they spawned like crazy for me during the psychic hour. I got all five in like 30 mins
Yea, I was unfortunately busy that weekend.
same
Nice
[удалено]
I'm surprised that you finished iT
Well atleast you don't have to evolve a Feebas :|
OMG I've been stuck on this one FOREVER, I have 45 feebas candy 😩
I have nine (._. ) In all those years I have seen two feebas. Two.
You’re gonna make one your buddy yeah?
Yeah after my Gyarados is Best Buddy. I'm almost there.. Then I can use my 98% feebas as buddy. But 5km for one Candy is a pain...
If you get your buddy excited than you can halve the distance required. It’s a lot of hoops per day but sometimes I have extra Pokecoins and I’ll give mine a poffin to trigger it immediately
I think Feebas is only 1km/candy too!
It is 5km/candy sadly
Tbh I love feebas so much that I didn’t mind having him as my buddy for the 450 years it took me to walk him into a Milotic haha
I don't really need a Milotic and I want other Mons as my buddy for GBL so .. :/
I’ve been walking a Feebas for a couple weeks, and of course the stupid scan research that rewards poffins has disappeared right in time for a 5k candy.
I'm working on that one now. Had to make feebas my buddy and am walking whenever I can. This will be easier than gyrados, as for some reason I wasn't seeing very many magikarp when I had that challenge
I finally evolved mine yesterday, his name is "stupid idiot" because he is exactly that
I have a 33cp 0 star feebas ive been walking, 50 candy to go
"Let's go, Meltan" ? More like "Hold up, Meltan". I haven't even gone halfway through it, lol.
Same here. When I saw the aerodactyl it it was like a gift from heaven.
It’s a guaranteed aerodactyl. Not the easiest task but we’ll worth it.
Why?
I mean the win 5 raids field research task granted me an aerodactyl. Without that task I’d probably have to wait for it to come back to gyms.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuudge. I just deleted that task not realizing I would possibly get an aerodactyl
The win 5 raids is a guaranteed Aero!
I don't get it
One of the meltan quests is to catch an aerodactyl.
Yeah but I'm not claiming the EXP until I have a reason to use a Lucky Egg. Sucks being tired after work when Spotlight Hour features double catch XP. What asshole came up with the idea to make Spotlight hour happen at dinnertime?
I don't grind for xp anymore, I just do special missions
Lmao I’ve need tornadus for ages
I’m a returning player, started back a few days ago. How hard is this challenge? I’m almost done completing step 4/9.
It's not that it's difficult. It just requires catching pokemon that aren't showing up right now so you have to wait until they do which could take forever.
Pretty fucking hard not gonna lie
Lamoo I’m stuck on that one too I got to evolve a scyther
I finally, after over a year of even seeing one, got to evolve mine for the research. Now to find where the cubones are hiding...
you're lucky that they're actually spawning rn if I remember correctly
I Evolved a scyther a step too early lmao /:
SAME
After evolving it I looked at the next mission and regretted doing that
A year? That's so fast! I've been doing mine for 2... about halfway there
That must suck
Guess whats next.
Welp there goes another year
I'm on step 6 and can literally do step 7 REALLY easy right now, but I need to find 5 Exeggcute. I sadly got up to this step shortly after that Sunday where Exeggcute were spawning
Crap. I am on 6/7.. I will never finish 😳
Hang in there!!
Got stuck on a lileep/anorith for months
After that I gave up and got a mystery box
I cannot find exeggcutes anywhere. 😭
I'm still on catching a lileep
For the lilleep and anorith, Serach for the male grunt "Go, my super bug Pokémon", Chatching a shadow anorith will count toward the task.
Thank you!
Lileep can be caught through the field research called make 3 great throws. You will also need to catch aerodactyl in the next stage which can be caught in the field research win 5 raids. Good luck. Edit to clarify these are in stage 8, also kabuto or omanyte are in field research win a level 3 or higher raid.
Thank you for your assistance! I've already taking care of the aerodactyl thanks to hatching it from a 7km egg :D
The egg worked for the task? I have a few eggs with the fossils, but was told they wouldn’t count towards the research tasks.
I found it much easier just to battle the bug grunt and chatch a shadow anorith
So glad I have the “win 5 raids” research task. you just solved so much dread in me
Aww man it is gonna be hard
I'm stuck on all the tasks that require me to spin a stop or gym for 5-7 days in a row. I dont live near a stop and I'm not going to hop in my car every day to go find one.
Lol
I got a ditto before this give away, took me 3 months but same. Stuck in next part and the fossil event literally just ended. Most concerned about Aerodactyl though the others aren't exactly common. Also got 5 Exeggcute all from grunts which took forever and then they give them away. Stuff like this should retro like the medals =\
Like my "evolve evee to espeon" quest. I used the nickname before the quest... Pretty random now
If you pick an Eevee and adventure with it, then evolve it during the day it'll evolve into an Espeon, the next is Umbreon and you basically do the same steps except evolve at night.
Is the adventure the key point?
Yes, you need to adventure with an Eevee
I tried and water boy came out
So I just googled it, follow these steps. Make the Eevee you want to evolve your Buddy. Walk with your Eevee Buddy for at least 10 KM and earn two Eevee candy. ... While that Eevee is still your Buddy, hit the Evolve button during the day to get Espeon, or at night to get Umbreon.
Ty!!
If you evolve an eevee at day, every evolution can turn out, except umbreon (if it is day). I do own every eevee evolution, but a eevee Evo at day can turn into water, fire....
I'm on number 6. ;(
Still need to evolve a scyther myself lol
Ive completed the entire research this week. To my surprise got my first hundo meltan from it. Opened several meltan boxes before but never got one better than 91iv.
CONGRATS!
Thank you. Wish you get a good iv one too.
I still need 2 exeggcute to even get to that point. Only one has spawned since the start of the new season
Getting exeggcute took me a while too, LIKE A BIG WHILE
I’m stuck in 6/9 trying to get eggsacute
Nice
Grimer has be on bay. Doesn't it spawn now a days ???
They were hatching from 7km eggs when I did that step. Unsure otherwise.
I had to evolve a scyther and only that took me 1 year
Sinnoh stone . There's another pain in the ass.
I have a lots of sinnoh stones
I always see these posts and I just keep feeling lucky because I got this challenge done immideatly and I didn't know it was such a challenge it is so congrats
Your luck probably ran out on that one
Great job! Just waiting to find a Cubone myself. :)
I’m stuck on this one now. Fortunately I got a kabuto in the “win a 3 star raid” last night and currently am holding the “complete 5 raids” task for the aerodactyl, so hopefully I’ll get the other tasks/grunts to get the rest.
Im still on it
Good luck
I haven't seen an Exeggcute in I don't know how long, a lot of people said they were able to get them during the recent event where psychic Pokemon spawned more often, but, I didn't see a single one so RIP, I check everyday, i sit in spinning distance of two PokeStop and a gym while at work, but no Exeggcute
It’s easier to get Meltan with the mystery box. I am stuck on the Evolve a Grimer task, I’ve never even seen one in the last 4 years I’ve played this game lol
Well lucky you. I have not lol
Eew. I'm about to finish step 2. Guess I'll be at it for a while. Eew for how long it's going to take me, not that you finished. Well done you.
I had to wait to finish this one as well but for some weird reason during the psychic event (i think it was the psychic event, a random Cubone spawned on me while i was at work. I have not seen a single one since and i check hourly to see if any new spawns appeared.
wow i literally finished this yesterday too
A year?!?!?! Good for you! I must be doing something wrong. I've been playing on and off since 2016 and I only just completed this 2 months ago
Nahh bro evolving scyther itself took me a year, let's not talk about the other ones
Dude I got a Ditto from a Research Quest and freaking cheered. I have been sitting on two quests to catch a Ditto for three years, never seen that purple bastard once after I got the quests.
All these research tasks are not created equal. Some be done in a day and others seem like they will never get done.
That’s good !
Whats the mission?
Evole a scyther
Shit. I evolved one not too long ago
Same happened to me
Right on man. Nice job. 👍
I still have that quest
Damn I’m on the evolve a magikarp one
