What Are Masterwork Research in Pokémon GO?

Masterwork Research is a rare and difficult type of Special Research in Pokémon GO, designed to be a long-term questline that you work through over an extended period of time, rewarding you with a unique Pokémon.

Unlike standard Special Research, these tasks are meant to take weeks—or even months. They are typically tied to major events or celebrations, such as GO Fest or Anniversary events, and reward encounters with Mythical or otherwise exclusive Pokémon.
