Pokemon GO‘s Kanto Celebration event kicked off on September 2 and runs until September 7, offering trainers the chance to capture all sorts of critters and monsters from the iconic Kanto region. There are increased spawns for the three starters, Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur, as well as for Weedle, Caterpie, Snorlax, and others.
And for some of the days, players can also complete limited-time research tasks to earn some snazzy rewards. This guide will go over the Kanto Celebration: Kang You Dig It Timed Research tasks and rewards, which will give you an encounter with Kangaskhan, one of the hardest Pokemon to find in Pokemon GO, as it’s usually only found in Australia.

The timed research for Kang You Dig It is extremely limited. It starts on September 3 at 10 am local time and ends on September 4 at 10 am, so get to work! Also, if you don’t think you’ll be able to complete the tasks fast enough, you can still find Kangaskhan via Mega Raids until the end of the event (September 7 at 8 PM local time).
