How to catch Hoopa in Pokemon Go has turned out to be a bit simpler than you might have expected. To catch Hoopa in Pokemon Go, all you need to do is complete step three of the ongoing Misunderstood Mischief special research story – the final reward for this step is a Hoopa encounter!

Incidentally, make sure to get that done today as fast as you can, as it’ll allow you to complete the current collection challenge – but the collection only gives you till the end of today to complete it.

Is there anything else?

We’ve actually already discussed Hoopa quite a lot in other pieces, and the hype for this Pokemon was pretty big pre-release. So releasing in the early half of the research story seems a bit unusual unless Niantic has something bigger planned for later on.

Though it does fit Hoopa as a character quite well, at least.

It is also entirely possible that this event was more designed to give players plenty of what they want quickly to help calm down the recent backlash they experienced with the likes of Pandemic changes ending, as the player base was not happy with Niantic over those decisions.

Anyway, that’s it for this piece – are you glad we finally got Hoopa? Or maybe it was a bit underwhelming to you after all this time waiting for it?
