Trainers, the Catch Mastery brings new Timed Research into the game, and you must complete all tasks to earn cool rewards and encounter Hitmontop.
The Catch Mastery Timed Research is a new Research introduced in Pokemon Go as part of the Catch Mastery event. This event starts on Sunday, March 5, 2023, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time. Hitmonlee and Hitmonchan appear more often, and you can earn 2x XP for catching Pokemon with Nice Throws, Great Throws, Excellent Throws, and Curveball Throws.
The Catch Mastery Timed Research has ten stages. Each stage has different tasks, which are not that hard to complete. Completing each step will grant you Hitmontop encounter, useful items (such as Poke Ball, Nanab Berry, Razz Berry, Pinap Berry, Great Ball, and Ultra Ball, Stardust) as rewards, and XP.
NOTE: Hitmonlee, Hitmonchan, and Hitmontop’s shiny chances are increased.
