I’ve been trying to find a grunt with fire types for so long now, ugh!

Same; I’ve fought endless grunts and even tried the leaders and can’t get anything. I basically gave up.

I’m getting hardly any grunts, let alone the type I need

I just searched fire&shadow and I had quite a few to choose from. I hate purifying because of the Stardust cost, and shadows are useful.

This is why I have tagged shadow, mostly 1k, to purify Pokémon saved. I always keep about 20 ready to go. So during events or special research I have them at the ready.
This doesn’t help you NOW unfortunately but hopefully something you can do going forward to help you in the future.

Luckily for me i had a shadow ALOLAN rattata laying around for my dark type run lol
still wont be the 4/4 before it ends though because i got back into the game like 3 days ago :/

Luckily I still had a shadow charmander left from before

I got lucky and managed to catch and purify one last night. The rewards in step 4 are… underwhelming. Definitely not worth stressing about. And it doesn’t count for a medal or anything.

I walked for 5h with my friend till I got one. man I’m tired today. Gonna sleep like a baby.

The trick is to always have bunch of shadow pokemons to purify when needed.

This task almost did me in (except I had to find a Dark type). I got lucky finding a Grunt at a random PokeStop right as I drove by it and was able to find parking super fast.

I couldn’t finish it just because of this

The thing I needed was to evolve 2 more fire types
I had one but I didn’t do it unless I had the other too, I didn’t get the other 😔

I’m just here with my Magikarp army, ready to flop into action! 🐠

I missed this one, too! It’s a drag.

Basically informed me that I need to save 1 shadow mon of every type for the rest of my life

I started saving shadow mons a while ago for the level 45 challenge (purify 100(?)). So I easily was able to purify a fire type.
I recommend this method to anyone under level 45. 🤙🏼

i picked the dark part on that quest, the only friggn mon i have is a shadow shiny sableye and i absolutely refuse to purify it lol

Yea I never finished this. For some reason no balloons would appear for me on the final day

I got lucky and a balloon grunt had a vulpix for me, I’ll now be saving a wide variety of types to avoid this in future, luckily you didn’t really miss out on much in terms of rewards. Mega Houndoom energy was all

Wait for the last task … it was a real bummer. :-/

… you guys know there’s shadow raids with Growlithe right. Faster to search on campfire for 1 than to search for a fire rocket grunt.

Did the dark one. Caught 8 shadow volpics. Not a single dark pokemon. This one was a bad quest.

I was lucky enough to get a grass one with Cacnea, just had to evolve it before purifying

A fire type grunt legit showed up for me after I finished the previous part of that research, thought it was programmed like that, but guess I was just really lucky lol
