In preparation for the 25th anniversary of Pokémon, Niantic hosted the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event and gave players the biggest challenge in Pokémon Go yet: catch, evolve, trade, and battle the first 150 Pokémon in one day. But that wasn't the end of it. Trainers who were able to complete Special Research during this event unlocked a new type of Special Research and the chance to catch a Shiny Mew. This Masterwork Research is incredibly difficult and takes a long time to complete. Read ahead for everything you need to know to complete this challenging research, and be sure to check out our best Pokémon Go accessories, so you can be fully equipped on your Pokémon Journey!

What is the Masterwork Research: All-in-One #151

A new class of Special Research, Masterwork Research is designed to take a long time to complete. The first Masterwork Research, All-in-One #151 takes over a month of daily play to complete, but the rewards are well worth the effort. Aside from Stardust, XP, and items, completing this Masterwork Research will reward Trainers with an encounter with a Shiny Mew!

Before you get too excited though, so far, the only players with access to All-in-One #151 are those who participated in the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event and completed the GO Tour: Kanto Research. While it may be possible that Niantic will eventually make Shiny Mew available to other players, for now, if you didn't participate in the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event, you cannot access this Masterwork Research.
