Pokemon GOplayers have access to multiple sets of special research tasks that can net them all sorts of valuable rewards. While these rewards vary based on the series of tasks, some of them allow players to encounter and catch rare Mythical Pokemon.
Jirachi is a Mythical Pokemon inPokemon GOthat can only be obtained through a series of special research tasks known as A Thousand-Year Slumber. Before players can catch it, however, they will need to complete all of the tasks involved.

There are a total of seven steps to A Thousand-Year Slumber, with each having three tasks to complete. The only exception to this is the seventh and final step, which only exists to give players additional rewards for completion without and further tasks to complete.
The first step of A Thousand-Year Slumber is the easiest. Its tasks and rewards are:
By completing the first step, players will be rewarded with one Mossy Lure, oneMagnetic Lure, and one Glacial Lure. Players who are struggling with adding players to their friend list, especially during this time, are recommended to put their friend QR code on social media or connect with localPokemon GOgroups online to add friends.
Step two of these tasks begins to up the difficulty with players needing to actively hunt for specific Pokemon. These tasks are:
Completing step two will give players 2,000 Stardust, ten Pokeballs, and three Lures. In order to get a Gold Hoenn medal, players will need to register at least 90 Pokemon that originated from theHoenn regionin their Pokedex.
Up next is step three, but the tasks for this step are a lot easier than the previous step’s tasks. They are:
After players complete these tasks, they will get 20 Silver Pinap Berries, three Star Pieces, and 2,000 Stardust. With Loudred being the evolution of Whismur, it should be easy to evolve one and take a picture of one for the first task.
Step four has the potential to eat up a lot of time for players actively pursuing this special research. Its tasks are:
Players will get a Fast TM, a Charged TM, and a Premium Raid Pass after completing step four. Using the Magnetic Lure earned earlier can help players find more Steel-type Pokemon for this task if they use it on a PokeStop.
The next step is step five where players will need to be prepared to have some tough battles. The tasks are:
Completing these tasks will award players with three Rare Candies, 20 Ultra Balls, and 3,000 Stardust. It doesn’t matter what raid players beat for the third task, so players can feel free to participate among large groups or take down one-star raids by themselves.
Step six is the final step that requires players to complete any kind of task. These final tasks are:
This step’s completion will give players 10 Silver Pinap Berries, 10 Star Pieces, and 5,000 Stardust. All that is left at this point is step seven which will just give players 13,500 XP, an encounter with Jirachi, 20 Jirachi candies, and a Jirachi shirt for their in-game avatar.
