'Sparkle and Shine' is Special Research available to paid Pokémon Go Tour Kalos Global 2026 ticket holders.
Available upon completing the 'An X-ceptional Yarn' Special Research, this Masterwork Research will eventually lead to an encounter with shiny Diancie.
As with most shiny Mythical quests, there are timegated steps along the way - meaning we won't know the full set of challenges for a few weeks yet. We'll update this page when more become available.
You can get more help this weekend with our dedicated 'Go Tour Kalos Global' guide, plus everything you need to know about 'Poodle Caboodle' Timed Research.
