Shiny Mew sits behind one of Pokémon Go’s rarest questlines, and “All-in-One #151” is your only ticket. Here’s how to clear every step of this Masterwork Research without wasting valuable resources-or your chance at a flawless pink Mythical.
Once you buy the pass, you’ll have an unlimited amount of time to complete the quests, which is a good thing, as Masterwork Research Tasks can take upwards of months to complete.
If you already got Shiny Mew via buying a Pokémon Go Tour Kanto pass in 2021, you cannot buy the pass again.
You can see the steps below, based on the original steps from the original set of Masterwork Research from the Kanto Tour event. We’re unable to confirm all of these steps due to the length of the tasks, but if they are different (or if they offer different rewards), we’ll update this guide. The steps below should give you an idea of the kind of tasks you will need to do to get your Shiny Mew, at the very least.

Tips for toughest All-in-One #151 tasks
The toughest tasks in Pokémon Go’s All-in-One #151 Masterwork Research often involve high-volume grinds like catching 151 different species, making 151 Great Throws, completing 151 Field Research tasks, walking 151 km, and reaching Trainer Level 40. These can take months for casual players but become manageable with event timing and daily habits. Rural players may struggle most with PokéStop spins and spawns, while high-level trainers breeze through evolutions and power-ups.
Event Exploitation
Leverage Community Days, Spotlight Hours, and Kanto-focused events for rapid progress on catches by type or species variety, as they boost specific Pokémon spawns. Activate Lucky Eggs, Incense, and Lure Modules (Glacial, Mossy, Magnetic) during these to double XP and attract rares. Stack Raid Hours for Legendary catches and Great Throws, aiming for Excellent accuracy with practice on easier bosses first.
Daily Habits
Log in every day without fail for streak tasks like “play X days in a row,” using alarms to avoid resets. Send gifts daily (up to 100 per day with high friendship) and walk consistently with a Pokémon GO Plus or adventure sync enabled for distance goals. Trade excess duplicates with friends during trade events to hit 151 trades quickly.
Grind Accelerators
For Level 40, grind XP events relentlessly, using XP Boosters and mass evolutions. Catch 30 Pokémon per type by noting dual typings (e.g., Water/Flying counts for both) and targeting type-specific lures. Use Rocket Radars from rewards for takeover events to knock out Field Research and battles efficiently.
Fastest way to earn Platinum Counter medal
Platinum Counter medal in Pokémon Go requires 2,000 Excellent Curveball Throws, making it one of the toughest due to precision timing and practice needed. Fastest progress comes from targeting Tier 1 and Tier 3 raids during Raid Hours, as shorter fights allow more attempts per hour in busy areas. Aim for events like GO Fest or raid rotations featuring fast bosses like Zubat or Machop to chain 20+ throws efficiently.
Practice Techniques
Master the spin technique by spinning Poké Balls clockwise or counterclockwise just before the throw arc peaks, using smaller raid bosses first to build muscle memory without wasting passes. Activate a Star Piece and aim for Excellent-rated throws (marked by a spinning starburst) during double XP events to boost motivation, practicing on Gym defenders or wild spawns daily beforehand.
Optimal Grinding
Join raid groups via Discord or local communities for remote raids, hitting 50-100 Excellent Curveballs daily by focusing on 5-minute solos or quick group clears. Use Golden Razz Berries on non-raids for practice, and track progress with apps like Poke Genie; dedicated players report Platinum in 1-2 months with 2-3 hours daily. Stack with Great/Ultra League GO Battle League for hybrid grinding if Curveball Throw medals overlap.
