Pokémon Go has distributed a Special Research set, “Glitz and Glam,” that rewards the mythical Pokémon Diancie to all who complete at least four steps of it. Finishing the whole thing will give you Mega Energy to Mega Evolve Diancie.

The steps for this Special Research aren’t anything too difficult — it’s mostly stuff that will complete automatically just from playing the game. Along the way, you’ll get Pokémon encounters and other rewards, none of which are too shabby for a free research set. (Hello, free Lucky Egg!)

Below, we explain all the “Glitz and Glam” Special Research steps to unlock Diancie.
