Pokémon Go ‘The Dawn of a New Discovery’ Radar Tuning choose a path quest steps: Emolga, Crabrawler, or Ducklett?

“The Dawn of a New Discovery” grants all Pokémon Go players a Cosmog during Day 2 of Go Fest 2024 global.

Free for all players with or without a Go Fest ticket, it grants you a free Cosmog and Cosmog Candy to help with unlocking a Dusk Mane or Dawn Wings Necrozma.

For those who do have a Go Fest ticket, completing this quest then unlocks exclusive quest “The Dusk Settles”, which then rewards an encounter with one of Cosmog’s evolutions and enough Solar or Lunar Fusion Energy to turn fuse your chosen legendary with Necrozma.

One note before we begin — keep in mind that you’ll need to complete a raid in the final step, so you may want to hold on to your daily pass until you get there, if you’re planning on finishing the quest during the event.

All players who open the game on Sunday, July 14 between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. will get this quest. This quest is also mandatory for ticket holders to complete in order to unlock the next quest, “The Dusk Settles.”

Rewards: 3 Potions, Pikachu (sun crown) encounter, 100 Stardust

After this point, you’ll need to pick between Emolga, Crabrawler, or Ducklett. The steps and rewards are mostly the same across the paths, except one of the steps, which will reward you with your chosen Pokémon for catching seven of that Pokémon. Your radar will prioritize the chosen Pokémon, too. You can read more on this choice in the later section on this guide.

Rewards: 1 Silver Pinap Berry, Cosmog encounter, 1 Razz Berry

Rewards: 5 Necrozma stickers, Pikachu (moon crown) encounter, 10 Cosmog Candy

With the above done, those with a Go Fest Global ticket can then begin “The Dusk Settles”.

After step one, you get the choice between tuning your radar towards Emolga, Crabralwer, and Ducklett.

This choice results in two things:

Though it will not result in additional spawns, you choice will temporarily help you find more of that Pokémon through the Nearby feature, as well as grant you an additional single encounter as part of your rewards.

In terms of what you should choose, it should be based on what you want more of, particularly if you want a shiny of that Pokémon. To clarify, the shiny odds won’t increase as part of this research — but by simply encountering more of that Pokémon, you are more likely to encounter a shiny as a result.

If you’re wondering why Emolga, Crabrawler, and Ducklett are the choices here, these are all recently added shinies as part of in-person Go Fest 2024 events earlier this year, so get more of the spotlight in the Global leg for those wanting to flesh our their shiny Pokédex.

Looking for more to do during Go Fest 2024? Remember to get plenty of Solar and Lunar Fusion Energy for Dusk Mane and Dawn Wings Necrozma — which you can do effectively with strong Necrozma counters — and complete Marshadow research “A Shadowy Caper”.
