In order to begin this Special Research, you must have completed the first three stages of the Mew research. Those who captured Celebi from the exclusive research at Pokémon GO Fest 2018 will not have the opportunity to catch a second Celebi from this research; a Candy award will be given out instead.
STAGE 1
PROFESSOR WILLOW: Trainer, you've been such a help in conducting Field Research and Special Research! I have a feeling that there's so much more about this world that we've yet to discover, and I'm glad I can count on you to see it through. I've been doing some experiments of my own, and I suspect that I'm onto a further exciting discovery about another Mythical Pokémon that's rarely seen. Would you mind completing these tasks while I conclude my studies?

STAGE 2
PROFESSOR WILLOW: Wow, you and your Pokémon have some amazing power! But according to my most recent data, it seems that the Mythical Pokémon I'm tracking only appears in times of peace. Also, from what I've gathered, it seems fond of forests and lush greens. Would you mind exploring this further, Trainer?

STAGE 4
PROFESSOR WILLOW: Oh wow, is that an Eevee you've caught? Perfect timing! Did you know that this Pokémon's unstable genetic makeup enables it to take on one of several different Evolutions? I'll bet if you spend some time with it during the day, you'll be able to evolve your Eevee into an Espeon-- a Psychic-type Pokémon just like the Mythical Pokémon I'm researching!

STAGE 5
PROFESSOR WILLOW: Oh wow, is that an Eevee you've caught? Wait... Have we... had this conversation already? I'm getting a funny feeling in the back of my mind-- like we've been here before. Trainer, would you spend some time with this Eevee during the night? I think you'll be able to see an intriguing evolved form as a result. I wonder if this funny feeling will recur...

STAGE 6
PROFESSOR WILLOW: Trainer, I have some exciting news! That funny feeling hasn't returned, but I did some important reading and learned that the Mythical Pokémon we're researching has the ability to travel across time! Maybe that's why all this is occurring... or recurring... Maybe this Pokémon is nearby?! I suggest that you collect samples over the course of the next week and experiment with some Evolution Items to see whether the feeling occurs again.
While you're at it, do you have any Pinap Berries? My research could benefit from more data on their use. Return with that, and you can have these exotic Silver Pinap Berries!

STAGE 7
PROFESSOR WILLOW: This data is so helpful. Thank you! I'll use it to explore my theory. While you were in the field, I made more headway in learning about this Mythical Pokémon, and it seems that its mere presence causes the grass and trees to flourish. I think if you catch more Grass-type Pokémon, this elusive time-traveling Pokémon will reveal itself!

You've come a long way in your research, and I must say you're inspiring me to discover even more Pokémon. Until next time, Trainer!
