Investigate a Mysterious Energy - Catching Victini in Pokemon Go

Research Tasks List

Hailing from Unova, the Fire and Psychic Type Pokemon Victini's entire theme is pure victory. From its name, to its "V" hand gesture, to the large "V" that its ears make up, Victini wants nothing more than to bring victory. And according to its lore, it actually does! And while obtaining Victini won't really ensure victory in every fight, it's worth picking up and is obtainable in Pokemon Go via the Investigate a Mysterious Energy Special Research line.

Victini

This research line unlocks after reaching Step 6 in the A Thousand-Year Slumber Research Line.

Honestly, this is one of the easiest Research Lines to complete. It doesn't require a Gold Medal from any region, doesn't have a time-gate, and doesn't require any particularly difficult parts to complete. It can be a bit tedious in areas, but it's definitely not difficult.
