It’s that time again trainers, a new month and Season are fast approaching, and that means only one thing, a whole new Limited Research for trainers to enjoy. Taking the spotlight to kick off the Season of Light, Niantic is treating trainers to a psychic spectacular featuring Inkay, in the ‘Pokemon Go Inkay Limited Research’.

Limited Research events are a great way for trainers to complete challenges, encounter increased spawn rates of some of their favorite Pokemon, and even a shiny too!

Let’s take a look below at everything we know so far about the upcoming Pokemon Go Inkay Limited Research.

“As we dust off our crystal balls for the Psychic Spectacular Event, we’re kicking off with a celebration of a certain Psychic-type Pokémon. And what better Pokémon to celebrate than Inkay, who made its debut in last year’s Psychic Spectacular? In addition, for the first time in Pokémon GO, you’ll be able to encounter Shiny Inkay – if you’re lucky!”

The Inkay Limited Research Event takes place on Saturday, September 3, 2022, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. local time.

To evolve Inkay to Malamar, players will be required to collect 50 Inkay Candies, and turn their mobile phone upside down: a great opportunity to use those Pinap Berries and evolve as many Shiny Inkay as possible! Be sure to catch ’em all trainers!
