All the steps to get Shiny Shaymin.

Now Sinnoh Tour is out the way, trainers attention will turn to the new Pokémon GO Glimmers of Gratitude research.

This Masterwork research is the fourth in Pokémon GO history. Masterwork research is very hard, arduous to complete and will be 'time-gated' in several places.

The Pokémon GO Glimmers of Gratitude research is worth the grind though. It will reward a guaranteed encounter with a Shiny Shaymin.

If you don't have the Glimmers of Gratitude research then you're all out of luck. This was a paid ticket that was only available till February 25th. It might come back one day, but for now it is no longer available to purchase.

Masterwork Research: Glimmers of Gratitude - Steps:

Thankfully, the path to get Shiny Shaymin is a Special Research and not a timed one. That means you can take as long as you need to complete the following steps.

Please also bear in mind that trainers that attended the Go Tour: Sinnoh in person event in Los Angeles got an easier version of the Masterwork Research. This information is not applicable to those players, and beware of seeing their quest steps instead online.
