Keldeo is a Mythical Pokemon that is set to make its Pokemon GO debut during the Mythic Blade event. This event will take place from Tuesday, December 6 at 10am to Sunday, December 11 at 8pm local time, and players that are interested in obtaining Keldeo will need to take some action before it concludes. This guide is here to provide more details on that requisite action and help players catch Keldeo in Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO: How to Get Keldeo
The first step toward obtaining Keldeo is purchasing the Something Extraordinary Ticket from the in-game shop. This ticket costs $7.99, and Pokemon GO players that buy it will be given access to the Something Extraordinary Special Research. These fans will not receive this Special Research story immediately upon making their purchase, though, and they must open the app between Saturday, December 10 at 10am and Sunday, December 11 at 8pm local time in order to unlock it.
Once the Something Extraordinary Special Research has been unlocked, players should set their sights on completing its tasks. While the specifics of those tasks are not known at the time of writing, fans should expect them to focus around the Fighting-type Pokemon that are at the center of Pokemon GO's Mythic Blade event. Players should also expect the tasks to lead to an encounter with Keldeo in its Ordinary Form, as that has been specifically indicated by the developer.
To note, while Keldeo is certainly the most interesting reward that players can earn through the Something Extraordinary Special Research, it is not the only prize that is available. Indeed, fans will also receive an assortment of Rare Candies, Incubators, Pokemon encounters, and more as they work through this event-exclusive story. There is also a Keldeo T-Shirt avatar item to be earned, which will give players yet another way to show their love for this debuting Mythical Pokemon.
One final thing to mention is that players need not complete the Something Extraordinary Special Research before the conclusion of Mythic Blade, so long as they unlock it by opening the app during the aforementioned timeframe. That said, it is very likely that some of the tasks will be made easier by the increased rate at which Fighting-type Pokemon are spawning for the event. It is thus recommended that players that purchase the Something Extraordinary Ticket plan to spend some time on Saturday and Sunday working on the associated Special Research story.
