A Pokemon GO player reaches the coveted level 50, and impresses other trainers by revealing how quickly they achieved this feat.

The next Research Day will be called Flock Together, and it revolves around a variety of Flying-type Pokemon. Launching on May 11, the Flock Together Research Day was recently announced by the Pokemon GO team. This event will present players with Field Research tasks that open up the chance for players to encounter the five featured Flying-type Pokemon that are set to make an appearance. In addition to the five featured Pokemon, many more Flying-types will also be more prevalent.

  • Spearow
  • Doduo
  • Hoothoot
  • Taillow
  • Rufflet

The featured Pokemon being put in the spotlight during the Flock Together Research Day can be encountered after players complete the planned Field Research tasks. In order to complete these tasks, players will have to spin Photo Discs at PokeStops, which will make the tasks available.

Encountering Flying-Types in the Wild

  • Murkrow
  • Wingull
  • Starly
  • Pidove

Not only will players get a chance to encounter the featured Pokemon, but there will be additional Flying-type Pokemon that will appear more frequently in the wild. Pokemon GO hosts many exciting events, and Research Days can be some of the most exciting, thanks to the increased chance of catching shiny versions of the Pokemon being showcased.

Timed Research Tasks

  • Spearow
  • Doduo
  • Hoothoot
  • Taillow
  • Rufflet

For the cost of $1.00 USD, players can gain access to Timed Research. Timed Research tasks add an extra challenge to the event by putting players under a time crunch to complete Field Research tasks and encounter the Pokemon that are featured.

Flock Together Research Day will be live May 11, 2024, from 2:00 p.m. To 5:00 p.m. Local time, giving players only a short amount of time to complete tasks.

With Pokemon GO set to get some big updates this year, the game is looking to evolve even further. The many events featured in Pokemon GO are part of the reason why the game has managed to thrive for eight years, and this event in particular is perfect for players who have been waiting for the chance to catch some great Flying-type Pokemon.
