Catch Mastery Archen Paid Timed Research: Pokemon GO tasks and rewards

The Catch Mastery Archen Paid Timed Research is now available to Pokemon GO trainers for $2. It provides 40 encounters with Archen, while the event offers a boosted chance of encountering a shiny variant.

The Catch Mastery Archen event also includes Field Research and Timed Research tasks that are available for free. If you wish to purchase the paid version, we suggest doing so along with the free Timed Research, as the tasks are largely similar.
