How to complete Pokemon Go Whisper in the Woods Masterwork Research
NianticPokemon Go players can catch a guaranteed shiny Celebi from the ‘Whisper in the Woods’ Masterwork Research but completing it requires you to get through some grueling tasks.
That said, the quest promises plenty of exciting rewards and another chance for those who couldn’t get this shiny Mythical Pokemon previously.
Without any further ado, here’s everything you need to know about the Whisper in the Woods Masterwork Research.

The tasks and rewards of stages (3/5), (4/5), and (5/5) haven’t been revealed yet, and you’ll have to wait until July 18, 2025, for the third set. Rest assured, we will update all the details as soon as they are live.
Completing the entire Masterwork Research will reward you with a shiny Celebi, a Psychic/Grass-type Mythical from Gen 2. It is a decent pick for Raids and the Go Battle League, countering powerful Water and Fighting types like Swampert, Kyogre, and Machamp.
But, the assured shiny catch makes it one of the best collectibles in Pokemon Go.
How to get shiny Celebi Research
You can purchase the Whisper in the Woods Masterwork Research for $5 (or the equivalent pricing in your local currency) in the in-game Shop. You’ll be glad to know that there’s no time limit for this quest, so you can complete it at your convenience.
Why can’t I buy shiny Celebi ticket?
If you have already completed the ‘Distracted by Something Shiny’ Special Research available in December 2020, you won’t be able to buy the Whisper in the Woods ticket.
Each trainer can have only one shiny Mythical in Pokemon Go, so you cannot take on any quests rewarding the same prize again.
