Pokemon Go is offering trainers the chance to earn a Shiny Celebi through the Whispers in the Woods Masterwork Research quest, as well as some rewards for completing tasks on the way there.

Masterwork Research quests in Pokemon Go are few and far between, and players who opt to participate in them are often rewarded with a Shiny version of a very rare Pokemon.

Earlier this year, trainers could complete the Glimmers of Gratitude quest to earn a Shiny Shaymin. In 2022, Niantic offered a Masterwork Research quest that gave players the chance to catch Shadow Ho-Oh and Shadow Lugia.
