World of Wonders” is the latest Pokémon Go season, and with it comes the usual Special Research that was revealed over time throughout the season. This one only appears to have five steps (as opposed to the whopping 14 steps from last season), but it features the Ultra Beast Poipole, making it immediately notable.

As usual with these types of season-based research tasks, you can claim it at any point between now and June 1 at 9:59 a.m. in your local time. Once you claim it, it’ll be in your Special Research list forever, so there’s no time limit when it comes to actually completing it.
