During this research quest you’ll find yourself catching a Nosepass and a second Nosepass and then a third Nosepass and then - you get the picture. If you want to earn all of the rewards (i.e. Nosepasses) then you need to ensure you complete this quest before it vanishes forever at the end of the Searching for Legends event. On this page: The Searching for Legends timed research quest is part of the Searching for Legends event in Pokémon Go and runs from Tuesday, 9th March at 10am (local time) till Sunday, 14th March at 8am (local time). Since Searching for Legends is a timed research quest, you only have till the end of the event to complete this quest. If you don’t, then the quest will vanish, taking the rewards along with it. Interestingly, while Searching for Legends consists of seven quest steps, not only of these quest steps contain three challenges, making it the first research quest in Pokémon Go to deviate from this pattern. Still, if you want to earn all of the rewards, you must complete all of these challenges in order. You only have until Sunday, 14th March at 8am (local time) to complete this quest, so, if you want all of the rewards, make sure you complete it before the deadline.

When battling Team Go Rocket, make sure you bring along some potions and revives, so you can heal your Pokémon after the battle. If you’re having trouble making the curveball throws, then trying searching out a Pokémon which has a large catch radius, like Mr. Mime.
Use Incense will make Pokémon come to you, which is great if you’re having trouble tracking down the rock and ground-type Pokémon you need. Using a Magnetic Lure at a PokéStop will also attract a number of rock-type Pokémon to your location.
Good luck catching all of those Nosepasses!
