This is no time to monkey around, Zarude is coming!
The newest Pokémon movie, Pokémon the Movie: Secrets of the Jungle, is releasing globally on Netflix on October 8, 2021. And to celebrate, the Rogue Pokemon, Zarude will be featured in limited-time Special Research in Pokémon GO. As long as you log into the game during the time frame and activate the research, you can complete it at any time to receive the rewards.
The Mythical Pokémon, first discovered in the Galar region, was the focus of some controversy recently. Previously, the only way to obtain Zarude was by redeeming an emailed code into Pokémon Sword or Shield. However many people did not receive the code despite being subscribed to the newsletter for years. Wether this event was designed to save face and give more people the chance to acquire Zarude is yet to be seen. But I’m happy for all those folks who missed out as they now have a chance to get one for themselves.
