“Magnetic Study” is an electric-type focused event taking place in the “Max Out” season of Pokémon Go.
Running Oct. 15-17, each day of the event has a unique bonus to take advantage of, as well as Timed Research focused around one of three Pokémon — Magnemite, Plusle, and Minun.
These Pokémon can also be caught throughout the event via Field Research, and all have an increased shiny chance if they are missing from your collection.
Each day of the event will have a new set of bonuses and Timed Research to complete, running from midnight to midnight local time:
As well as the aforementioned shiny chance boost, Magnetic Lure Modules are also more likely to attract the highlighted Pokémon.
Available only on Tuesday, Oct. 15, you can complete the following steps to earn Plusle encounters:
Rewards: Plusle encounter, 2,500 Stardust, 5,000 XP

The following Field Research tasks are available throughout the “Magnetic Study” event:
As with all Field Research, you can keep this in your inventory and complete it once the event ends if you so choose.
