Pokemon GOis introducing yet another mythical Pokemon to the game’s roster via thePokemon GOFest event for 2021. This time, the Pokemon is Meloetta, a dual Normal andPsychic-type Pokemonoriginally from the Unova region. It has another form, known as its Pirouette form, that is a dual Normal and Fighting-type, but this form has yet to arrive.
To get the chance to capture Meloetta in its default Aria form inPokemon GO, players must complete the special research task series named The Melody Pokemon. It is only available for players that purchase a ticket forPokemon GOFest 2021, so those wanting this Pokemon should buy one as soon as possible.

Although thesespecial research tasksare being released with an event, players aren’t limited by the event’s duration to complete the tasks. The only limited part is in the event encounters via Rock Star and Pop Star Pikachu, but since unlocking them is relatively early, it won’t take too long to complete.
There is a total of eleven steps to The Melody Pokemon that players need to complete. Something special about these tasks, however, is that there are branches that are dependent on player choice. Most of these choices aren’t hard ones, but they will still be listed so players know to expect them before making the actual decisions.
