The Masterwork Research: Pony Tales quest was launched in Pokémon Go in November 2025 and culminates in an encounter with shiny Keldeo. Like previous Masterwork Research quests, it is a pay-to-play experience available for a limited time.
The quest is available in the in-game store until 8pm (local time) on Sunday 30th November, priced at £7.99, $7.99, or local equivalent, and is nonrefundable and cannot be procured with PokéCoins.
