Blanche's Quest for Knowledge was a Pokémon GO event with 8 featured Pokémon. Below is a quick, honest breakdown of what to prioritise and how to get the most out of it.
What to prioritise
None of the featured Pokémon are meta-defining for PvP or raids, so treat this one as a relaxed collection and shiny-hunting window rather than a build-your-team event.
Bonuses worth using
This event runs 3 bonuses, including Reach Major Milestones on your GO Pass to unlock the following bonuses.Tier 1 Bonus Starting at Rank 101 Additional Candy for evolving PokemonIncreased chance to receive Candy XL for evolving Pokemon (Trainers Level 31+)Tier 2 Bonus Starting at Rank 202x Incense duration, 1 Additional Candy for evolving PokemonIncreased chance to receive Candy XL for evolving Pokemon (Trainers Level 31+) and 2x Incense duration. To squeeze the most out of them, run Pinap Berries on your catches to bank extra candy and burn Incense and Lures during the window to make the most of the boosted spawns.
Shiny hunting
There are 8 shinies available during this event. Boosted spawn events are among the best shiny-hunting windows in the game, so tap everything you can and keep your Poké Ball stock topped up.
Is it worth your time?
Optional, but nice for collectors. Nothing here is essential for your competitive roster, but the shiny odds and featured spawns make it a pleasant, low-pressure window. Note: this event has already ended — it's kept here for reference and for when it returns.
