During this event there was a Special Research series that was titled BIDOOF in game. Parts 2 and 3 are branched.

Hey there, TRAINER! Just who I wanted to see. I just received a unique research request regarding a particular Pokémon, and I think you’re the perfect Trainer to help me with it. Let’s warm up with a few tasks first, and then we can dive into the meat of it!

Welcome back, Trainer. I have a few more details to share about the research request I received. A favorite of new and experienced Trainers alike, Bidoof, the Plump Mouse Pokémon, has been appearing more often of late. Intriguing, no? Now, before we continue, I have a very important choice for you to make. Will you focus your research on Bidoof or the Plump Mouse Pokémon? Is this a trick question? Who could say! My only advice is to follow your heart. Besides, it’s hard to go wrong when Bidoof is your only option! Choose Bidoof! Great choice, Trainer! For some reason, I just knew you’d pick Bidoof. Don’t ask me how! Bidoof is known for its two large front teeth. Much like Rattata’s teeth, Bidoof’s teeth are continually growing. Speaking of teeth, I have a few tasks that you can sink yours into now! Bidoof...? Wonderful choice, Trainer! I had a feeling you’d pick the Plump Mouse Pokémon. Don’t ask me why! Otherwise known as Bidoof, this Normal-type Pokémon is far from ordinary! While only about a foot tall, Bidoof is powerful. It can chew through boulders with its incisors—a feat that makes my jaw hurt to even think about.

Welcome back, TRAINER. Hopefully you got a few good snapshots of Bidoof while conducting your research! I always enjoy seeing the snapshots Trainers take of Pokémon, and I can never get enough of Bidoof! Now—according to the research request we received, we must choose to focus our efforts on a Pokémon that has nerves of steel or a Pokémon that nests alongside water. I know what you’re thinking: choosing between Bidoof and Bidoof isn’t easy. But, then again, the most important research rarely is! Nerves of Steel You’re going with Bidoof, huh? I like your style, TRAINER. Bidoof isn’t just cute to look at—it’s more agile and active than it appears! Nothing can perturb it, making it an excellent member of your team. I think we could all learn from that steadiness. Channel your inner Bidoof so you can steel your nerves, too! Nests near Water You choose Bidoof, eh? I never doubted it for a second. Bidoof often live in groups by the water where they make their nests. I recall that Bibarel, Bidoof’s Evolution, makes its nest by damming streams with bark and mud. A river dammed by Bibarel will never overflow its banks, which is appreciated by people nearby. Fascinating, don’t you think?

Thank you, TRAINER, for assisting me with this special assignment. I think we all learned that there’s more than meets the eye when it comes to Pokémon—especially Bidoof! As a thank-you for your hard work, the team leaders and I prepared a gift for you to help show the world your love and knowledge of the indelible Bidoof. I hope you wear it with the pride it deserves. Why don’t you put it on and enjoy a nice walk with your Bidoof? You never know what you might discover! Now, let’s GO!
