How Masterwork Research: Glimmers of Gratitude in Pokémon Go works

Masterwork Research: Glimmers of Gratitude is the fourth Masterwork Research quest to be released in Pokémon Go and progressing through it will eventually lead to an encounter with a shiny Shaymin.

It's a pay-to-play quest just like the previous Masterwork Research quests - All-in-One #151, Apex and Wish Granted. To access Glimmers of Gratitude you must have purchased a ticket for it when it was available during February 2024.

Glimmers of Gratitude is currently not for sale. Though it may have a re-run at a later date.

Tickets for Masterwork Research: Glimmers of Gratitude cost £4.99, $4.99 or the equivalent pricing tier for your local region. These tickets were nonrefundable and could not be purchased using PokéCoins.

Thankfully, Masterwork Research: Glimmers of Gratitude can be completed at your own pace once you've purchased as it doesn't have a deadline. Keep in mind that Masterwork Research quests are designed to take a good amount of time to finish, so progressing through one can take far longer than a traditional special research quest. The process of doing so, however, works exactly the same as you'll have to complete a set of challenges in each quest step, collecting its rewards, to progress onwards.

Finally, it's important to note that this, the global version of the Masterwork shiny Shaymin quest, is more challenging than the one given to players who attended the Go Tour: Sinnoh Los Angeles event. So if you attended this event and desire both a challenge and another shiny Shaymin you're in luck.

Good luck catching shiny Shaymin!
