Niantic addresses major Pokémon Go Special Research bug causing players to lose progress
Pokémon Go has not been in a great place recently, with players boycotting the game following raid mechanic changes and smaller events lacking the content to really excite the large number of fans who remain. Part of the disappointment for one particular event has been the Special Research completely resetting a portion of players’ progress at a certain point—something Niantic has now addressed.
During the A Mystic Hero event, which ran from April 13 to 17, players were tasked with helping Team Mystic’s leader Blance learn more about Pokémon evolution through various research tasks.
