How Masterwork Research A Dazzling Aria in Pokémon Go works
Masterwork Research: A Dazzling Aria is the fifth Masterwork Research quest released in Pokémon Go and progressing through it will eventually bring you to an encounter with a shiny Meloetta.
Like previous Masterwork Research quests - All-in-One #151, Apex, Wish Granted and Glimmers of Gratitude - A Dazzling Aria is a pay-to-play quest. It's one of the only pay-to-play aspects of the Go Tour: Unova Global event and, if you want it, you'll need to purchase it from the in-game Pokémon Go store.
Tickets for Masterwork Research: A Dazzling Aria costs £4.99, $4.99 or the equivalent pricing tier in your local region. This purchase is nonrefundable and can not be completed using PokéCoins.
Along with this payment, you also have to keep in mind that this quest is only available for sale between Monday 24th February at 10am (local time) to Sunday 2nd March at 6pm (local time). Thanks to this, you must buy this quest before this time passes if you want to get shiny Meloetta.
If you do want to purchase Masterwork Research: A Dazzling Aria, head to the in-game Pokémon Go store and scroll down until you find this quest's dedicated banner. From there, you need to select the banner before the 'Buy' option and follow the purchase instructions specific for your device. The quest should unlock automatically after this purchase, but, if it doesn't, try closing and reopening Pokémon.
Outside of having to purchase this quest, Masterwork Research: A Dazzling Aria works exactly the same as any other Special Research quest in Pokémon Go. Since you won't have a deadline, you'll be able to progress through it at your own pace - completing challenges, collecting rewards, finishing an overall quest step and repeating this process until the quest is completed. Just keep in mind that Masterwork Research quests are purposely designed to take longer than your typical Pokémon Go quest. It could take you days. It could take you weeks. It could even take you months…
Best of luck catching shiny Meloetta!
