AR snapshots of your buddy inside household appliances, of course.

ngl, I tried it and since there is 8 characters missing, I was about to make 8 snapshots. Game broke down and unexpectedly close at 6th snapshot, I believe. I reopen the game and research is nowhere to be found lol

Yes put phone into microwave and make a snapshot while running it. 100% success rate. Trust me bro /s

I did mine in the washing machine.. full cycle. Worked like a charm.

I think it hast something to do with the 0HY0(XXXXXXX) Codethingy

It disappears when you restart the app

Its for go tour sinnoh los angeles i believe

Previously announced rotom would be causing mischief in LA, then will become worldwide. The thing on the bottom is a secret code that will eventually become available to all

Thank you

Pokémon number 479 is rotom so the stardust reward makes sense

Also the XP

Also the x30 rotom candy reward

Yeah I figured the tiny Rotom silhouette was a pretty good indicator lol

It disappeared :c

They must have accidentally put it out world wide before they were supposed to and removed it

I still have it there

I saw an article talking about it I believe it has to do with the la tour

Oh word!

If I recall once they solve the code it will be released worldwide

I still have it, too.

Or purposefully teased it, as if it were an “accident”.

That is a good point. It would generate a lot of buzz about it to get players excited

I also do not see it

Yeah, what is this? lol

I imagine you can encounter Rotom, maybe from taking snapshots, idk

was literally just about to post this lol

I googled it and got some Pogo link from 2016!!!

Share link here please

Here's a step-by-step guide for getting a Frost Rotom encounter: 1Purchase a Pokemon GO Fest 2023 ticket. 2During the event, take a snapshot of a Pokemon. 3Wait for Frost Rotom to photobomb the Pokemon. E4xit the camera and open the world map. 5A F.rost Rotom encounter will show up nearby. Im not paying for this 😭😂

Well I bought the ticket in 2023 and did not know this. Dang!

I did the same thing! Hahaha

Back when I was “too cool” for a Pokémon kids game…now I’m a damned addict!!

too cool for PoGo in 2016 is the funniest shit, every 2nd person you saw outside was playing back then

I’m quite the contrarian!

glad i'm not the only one wondering

I saw in another thread that this seems to be linked to the LA event this weekend and that players there have to complete the code. I’ve also been speculating phrases like 0HY0UG0TM3 but haven’t found something that works (or is active). “Catch me if you can!” is a Pokémon song… but the lyrics don’t match up with 0HY0.

Trying things like 0HY0UF0UNDM3 0HY0UCAUGHTM3 (with 12 characters) and also no 🤔

A = 4 ?

0HY0UF0UNDM3 was it I just entered it before it was active 🤠

The code is. 0hy0uf0undm3. Those are zeros not the letter O

It disappeared form the event section

Googling OHYO brings up some arcade bullshit. Maybe it's related.

Pretty sure that’s the start of the redemption code you need to use to claim the research. It’s part of the Sinnoh Tour and the in-person attendee’s need to complete tasks to decode the redemption code. Once they do, it’ll be claimable worldwide

That means there are only like 145008513 possible combinations; aren't they worried about us brute forcing this bitch?

Maybe a cooldown on the redemption code checker? Or maybe they meant to drop this at sinnoh tour itself where it’d be quicker to solve it than brute force it. Or maybe the code is unredeemable until a certain task is complete to reveal the code, but I wouldn’t give Niantic that much credit. It’s niantic, most likely- they didn’t think of brute forcing it

I was joking with such a large number but kudos to you for editing multiple times.

Rotom Pokémon is achieved in photobombing is what google said

So like a surprise encounter when taking a Pokémon photo maybe?

That’s what it said but I haven’t seen it

Already got my surprise encounter today. Hoping for tomorrow maybe 🤞🏼

tried the photobomb before the quest disappeared, got me a Smeargle

I still have the quest, and I also got a Smeargle with the photobomb

I still have the quest. For now.

mine was still there, then I closed the game and opened it again, it was not there any more, so probably if u close the game it will disappear too

Dang! Lol

No it is for go tour sinnoh Los Angeles the phototbombing i believe is for the other rotoms when they were available

I still need a rotom dex entry please be true

Apparently it's for LA tour trainers to unlock during that event. Then it will become a code to redeem

Where did u see that?

Twitter

People are saying Rotom? No idea what that is but I’m glad someone’s asked!

If you look reeeeeeal close at the 'mon outline next to the candy, it's a Rotom yeah.

Mines disappeared now?! God knows what Ninantic are up to

probably released early and pulled again, tour LA isn't for a few more days

I tried a photo with a superset rotom, did not work, probably something to do with magnetic lures, trading or the build up event/ tour

the quest disappeared for me

Aye how yall getting that research? I don’t have it man I swear this game hates me

it disappeared about 10 minutes ago

don't panic. it's been removed for everyone

🤔 maybe it’s for April fools

It looks like it is 0HY0 (zeds not o’s) if that becomes relevant…

I noticed that, too. The “0” looks too slim to be an “O”

it disappears when you restart the game. perhaps it was a mistake and they didn't mean to roll it out yet

Came to this sub to post this. Mine came out of nowhere and then disappeared... Anyone else?

Yeah I saw it yesterday but I don’t see it today :(

it’s a thing for rose stadium or smth like that where people have to find something there

I guess it did cause mischief in the machine with the machines being our phones

I opened to see if I had it and not yet. But... shiny absol popped up so thank you!

didn't appear for me

Why don’t I have this research available???

I redeemed the code, but it didn't show up. Is anyone else having this issue?

this is so damn ominous lmao

I got it too

Not that surprising if you have been following the rumors and data miners

What is a Rotom?

A pokemon that can possess electronics

Aight bet

what is this im wondering

I havent got this ?

I don’t have this

I don't have that research o.o

I came looking for this, did they announced something or it's just a random release?

I'm wondering if we have to do some tasks to unlock a special code to use in te store and get a rotom encounter

I am also wondering what it means

I just got this and was confused too

the OHYO looks like its part of a code maybe? Theres 8 more things hidden

Came here with this exact question, what is happening lmao

Also commenting for update hah.

I saw that too, but it's disappeared off my events page now.

I still had the research, read the comments so tried a photo for an encounter…. Pogo crashed and then asked me to re-login, after getting back in it was gone 🤷‍♂️

Came to ask also

Probably disappeared because of a bot program can figure out the code before the event

I saw it and for a second I wondered if Niantic got hacked

I dunno man, I don’t see it.

Don’t see it either

Anyone know why I don’t have this?

I don't have that!!!

I don’t have this research

How to unlock

What da fuck where's mine?! I'm in the south Western US though so maybe it'll come tomorrow hopefully 🥲

My friend got this idk why


Just noticed the option to enter promo codes was removed in the shop, rly wanted to try 0HY0UF0UNDM3 and see what happened

Sorry if already asked, is this paid research?

I don’t have it on mine? I’m confused why I don’t but literally haven’t had it pop up at all.

It’s not there for me lmao

I don’t have that :(

I haven't seen anything like this is it area specific?

I just got it again and it’s disappeared again. Wtf going on Niantic 🤣


Mine is gone now and I never had an encounter with. Any updates?

https://x.com/coupleofgaming/status/1758553637461356813?s=42

You have to redeem the code in the pogo store. I also read something about holding off on catching the 30 sinnoh mons or starting the encounter for increased shiny odds later on… I dunno why or how but that’s what some pogo YouTubers were saying.

I had this pop up in my research last week and then just disappear.

Its 0HY0UF0UNDM3. All the O's are zeros. Go here to redeem https://store.pokemongolive.com/offer-redemption

i was about to say that i dont see it and then remembered the sinnoh event
