If you have not received the latest Team GO Rocket Special Research - read this!

Every single time there is a new Rocket Takeover event, we get a bunch of people wondering why they haven't received the new Special Research, Fashion Week: Taken Over, to go along with it (yet).

If the event has started in your timezone, the most likely explanation is: You still have an unfinished Team GO Rocket research in your (right) Special Research tab.

If you have any of these Special Research stories, and you have progressed beyond the first page of it, you need to finish it, before you can receive any new Team GO Rocket Special Research:

• A Troubling Situation (This is the prerequisite research that you need to finish in order to receive any of the future Team GO Rocket Special Research storylines)
• Looming in the Shadows
• A Challenging Development
• The Take-Over Continues
• A Professor's Work is Never Done
• The Shadowy Threat Grows
• An Inter-egg-sting Development
• The Higher They Fly...
• A Seven-Colored Shadow
• Silent Schemes
• Field Notes: Team GO Rocket
• Ultra Beast Protection Efforts
• Shadowy Skirmishes
• From the Shadows
• A Shadowy Disturbance
• Showdown in the Shadows
• It's a Rocket World
• Adventure Week: Taken Over

Q&A

• I still have an old open research. Will I receive the new Rocket research once I finish it?
  • Yes, if you finish an old research you will receive the new research as long as you play during the event times. If it doesn't show up automatically, restart your game.
• Do any of the GO Rocket researches that are baked into a previous season spanning research count towards this list?
  • No, the season spanning researches do not count towards this list. This, so far, includes:
    • The Timeless Travels Research
    • Galar Calling Research
• I missed a past research. Can I still receive it?
  • You cannot receive any of the past Team GO Rocket researches retroactively as you would have needed to play during that past event period in order to receive it.
