The Searching for Gold Research Day was an eventful day. I bought the ticket earlier. However, I had planned not to participate because I already have the shiny form of most of the Pokémon featured for the event.
Anyways, earlier that day – Saturday, June 3, 2023 – I made up my mind that I would just participate for the fun of it. I am glad that I did.
It was a 3-hour event in which I used six lucky eggs, six star pieces, and three incense. I did not keep a record of either the amount of XP I got or the amount of stardust. I also did track the amount of Pokémon I caught. I however have a record of the amount of research tasks done and the number of shiny Pokémon I caught.
Here are the ones I got from the tasks:
- 1 shiny Caterpie
- 1 shiny Sableye
- 2 shiny Magikarp
Here are the ones I got from the wild:
- 1 shiny Lickitung
- 1 shiny Bellsprout
- 1 shiny Weedle
The event was just okay since I did not expect much from it. If I had expected more, I would have been sorely disappointed.
