Experience the Spectacle: Catch Diancie for Free with the ‘Glitz and Glam’ Special Research
The exclusive research event known as ‘Glitz and Glam’ presents an exciting opportunity for every Pokémon Go enthusiast to capture the mythical Pokémon Diancie at no cost! However, if you’re already a proud owner of Diancie, your reward will be extra Diancie Candy instead.
Following the familiar pattern established in Pokémon Go, the global release of Diancie aligns with the tradition of making mythical Pokémon available after their debut in a past Go Fest event through a unique research quest. Similar events took place in the past with other mythical Pokémon like Shaymin and Meloetta.
Originally launched during Go Fest 2024, Diancie is now accessible to all Pokémon Go players. To catch this fascinating Pokémon, players need to complete the steps and receive the rewards from the ‘Glitz and Glam’ quest.
‘Glitz and Glam’ Quest Steps and Rewards
The following outlines the quest steps for ‘Glitz and Glam’, guiding players towards capturing Diancie in Pokémon Go. Since this is a special research quest, it can be completed at your convenience.
It’s essential to remember that players who have previously captured Diancie through the Go Fest 2023 quests, including Fascinating Facets, will not catch another Diancie. Instead, they will receive additional Diancie Candy as a reward.

The Beginning of Diancie in Pokémon Go
Diancie made its grand entrance into Pokémon Go during the Go Fest 2023 festivities. Initially, it was available exclusively to players who participated in the event held in Osaka or London on Friday, August 4th. Following this, it became catchable for attendees at the New York Go Fest location and eventually for all players worldwide on Saturday, August 26th, during the Go Fest 2023 Global event.
Throughout these instances, capturing Diancie required a paid entry. Players who purchased tickets for the Go Fest 2024 Global event had the opportunity to catch Diancie upon reaching Step 4 of the Fascinating Facets quest. For those who already possessed Diancie, additional Candy would be granted instead of a duplicate Pokémon.
In addition to the original Diancie, Mega Diancie debuted during the in-person and global Go Fest events, appearing in Mega Raids. Attendees could earn additional Mega Diancie Energy via certain field research tasks and by catching Carbink.
Nearly a year later, in keeping with the pattern established by other mythical Pokémon like Shaymin, Diancie is now being made freely available to all Pokémon Go players through the ‘Glitz and Glam’ special research quest.
Good luck on your quest to capture Diancie in Pokémon Go!
