Below you’ll find the Chasing Legends quest steps and rewards in Pokémon Go.
Remember – to unlock this quest you need complete the Primal Rumblings Special Research quest first, then play Pokémon Go during the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event between 10am to 6pm (local time) on Saturday, 25th February and Sunday, 26th February.
After doing so, you’ll be able to complete the quest whenever you like since it doesn’t have a deadline. We strongly recommend, however, completing Chasing Legends during the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event, because a number of the challenges will be easier to complete.
You need to complete the Primal Rumblings Special Research quests because because some of the Chasing Legends rewards differ depending on your choice between the Ruby or Sapphire team. So, to fully experience this quest, you need to have made this choice.
Chasing Legends also asks you to pick between three paths – Cacnea, Gulpin and Surskit. Your choice determine some of the challenges and rewards for the second quest step and which Pokémon will appear more frequently when you use Incense throughout the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event.
Keep in mind that the information below does contain spoilers so, if you wish to be surprised, we recommend skipping this section.
It’s important to note that one challenge in Step 3, Step 4 and Step 5 changed after the Go Tour: Hoenn event ended, ensuring that Chasing Legends could be easily completed.

The Season of Rising Heroes is here! It began with the first Gen 9 Pokémon – Gimmighoul and Gholdengo – appearing in Pokémon Go.
The Festival of Colors event is currently running – bringing both Bruxish and Mega Medicham with it!
As you continue your Pokémon Go adventure, make sure to battle Giovanni, the Team Go Rocket Leaders or in the new Go Battle League season. Don’t forget to keep an eye out for Kecleon or, if you purchased it, work on the Masterwork Research: Wish Granted quest.
Elsewhere, be sure to use Daily Adventure Incense for the chance of encountering Galarian Articuno, Galarian Zapdos and Galarian Moltres. This incense may also give you encounters with other rare Pokémon in Pokémon Go.
The best choice to make on the choose path option in the Chasing Legends quest is all about personal preference, but you should also consider the best way to complete your Pokédex.
Whatever choice you make between Cacnea, Gulpin, or Surskit determines which of these three Pokémon will be attracted more by Incense, and which one you get for completing Step 2 tasks of Chasing Legends.
So, if you need any of these three to fill your Pokédex, or you need their candy to evolve them, then we suggest picking that Pokémon’s path. If your Gen 3 Pokédex is complete, however, then it all comes down to what your personal preference is!
Here are some tips which will help you complete the Chasing Legends quest in Pokémon Go:
The Chasing Legends was released as part of the Go Tour: Hoenn Global event in Pokémon Go during February 2023. Unlike Masterwork Research: Wish Granted, this quest is available for free for every player.
To unlock this quest, you need to complete the Primal Rumblings Special Research quest, then play Pokémon Go during the event itself, which is running between 10am to 6pm on Saturday, 25th February and Sunday, 26th February.
Completing Primal Rumblings is required because of the team choice you make – Ruby or Sapphire – which affects some of the rewards you receive while progressing through Chasing Legends.
Since Chasing Legends is a special research quest, it has no deadline which means you complete it whenever you like. It is also structured like a regular research quest – challenging you to complete a set of tasks and collect a number of rewards before you move onto the next step.
