How to catch Celebi in Pokemon Go?

Celebi is a mythical type Pokemon that can’t be caught through any normal means in Pokemon Go. This time-travelling Pokemon can’t be caught either through raid battles or in the wild. The only way you’ll be getting a Celebi encounter is to complete the Special research tasks all the way through. However, there are only two Special research tasks that’ll lead you to a Celebi encounter. They are one a normal and the other a shiny.

The normal Celebi can be caught at the end of the research task called A Ripple in Time. It's been in the game for longer than the second one, and it also has a longer research task in comparison to the second one as well. There are 8 different stages that you have to go through. And each stage has three tasks, which gives a total of 24 tasks to complete. Like many longer research tasks, they are not all about difficulty but rather about having the patience to acquire items and Pokemons. Below, we’ll give you a full list of tasks you need to complete and the reward list for each task in order to get a Celebi in Pokemon Go.
