Now, previously, Niantic announced that this Special Research rewards an encounter with Galarian Mr. Mime, which would have left those collecting one of each form of every Pokémon without a Galarian Mr. Mime to keep at its base form. The additional, unannounced reward of another encounter with Galarian Mr. Mime is a nice bonus that takes care of one of the main problems that some trainers have had with this ticked research.
Keep in mind that while playing this Galarian Mr. Mime Special Research, the Chill Tunes event is also live in Pokémon GO, featuring spawns that will only respond to Incense. So pop those Incenses and get catching. Good luck out there, fellow trainers.
