How to catch Celebi in Pokemon GO
Celebi is a Mythical Pokemon that can't be caught through any normal means in Pokemon GO.
The Time Travel Pokemon can't be caught in raids or in the wild. The only way to get one is to complete special research tasks all the way through to the end, which rewards players with a Celebi encounter.
However, there are only two questlines in the game that will lead to a Celebi, one 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 questline in comparison.
There are 8 different stages for players to go through, and each stage has three tasks, which gives a total of 24 total tasks to complete.
Like many longer research tasks, they aren't about difficulty but rather about having the patience to acquire items and Pokemon.
