Long-time Pokémon GO Dataminer Chrales has revealed all the new research quests required to unlock Celebi in the game. These have just gone live as well, alongside the Johto event which makes generation two (Johto) Pokémon more common. This latter effect is expected to last a week.

While maybe not as hard as earning 400 Magikarp Candy, quests have minimum time limits on them – e.g. “Catch a Pokémon 3 Days in a row”. Therefore you shouldn’t expect to get Celebi ASAP. The quests are as follows (numbers not yet known):

    Rewards: 10 Poké Balls, TM, Super Incubator

  3. Reach level 25, evolve Gloom or Sunkern with a Sun Stone, Hatch 9 Eggs

  4. Walk 10 km with Eevee as your Buddy to earn Candy, Evolve Eevee into Espeon during the day, Send 20 Gifts to friends.
    Rewards: Metal Coat, 2,500 Stardust, Pokémon encounter (Eevee?)
  5. Walk 10 km with Eevee as your Buddy to earn Candy, Evolve Eevee into Umbreon during night, Trade a Pokémon.
