Pokemon Go players have until Sunday, June 25, at 8 PM (local time) to claim the Starry Skies Special Research. Once it’s active in your account, you can complete it at any time. Those looking to get another Cosmog can purchase an additional ticket for $5.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency). This second Special Research will have the same tasks as the first.

The Starry Skies Special Research doesn’t reward players with Cosmog Candy, so make sure you use a Pinap Berry when you catch the Legendary Pokemon. You can set it as your buddy to earn Candy to evolve it, but you’ll need to walk 20 Km for just one Candy. To evolve Cosmog into Cosmoem and then into either Lunala or Solgaleo, you can check out our complete guide.
